Translated from the Spanish by Harriet De Onis. hardcover. Cover art by Hallock. keywords: Latin America Peru Literature Translated World Literature. DESCRIPTION - High up in the mountains of Peru lay the small village of Rumi. It was a happy and industrious village where everyone had his job to do, both for himself and his community. The wants of the villagers were simple, their pleasures few, and their work hard but satisfying. There were few problems of government, but for those that did arise they had a mayor and four selectmen to speak for them. Rosendo Maqui was the mayor: a man of deep wisdom and understanding for his people. But one day Don Alvaro Amenabar, the rich and predatory ranch owner of the town in the valley, instituted a suit against the community, charging that the land it had occupied for so many generations rightfully belonged to him. The villagers of Rumi were panic-stricken. They had always lived in Rumi! So had their fathers and their fathers before them. It was Rosendo Maqui's responsibility to fight Don Alvaro in the courts and to save the village of Rumi from such despotism. Rosendo Maqui and his people, being good people, tried to fight the evil of Don Alvaro the way they had always fought everything, with hard work, perseverance, and honesty. In the life and death struggle of this small South American village to maintain its integrity, its dignity, its very existence against the lust for power, the reader cannot help but see the parallel to the bitter and total wars of today which are raging over the whole earth. The simple story of BROAD AND ALIEN IS THE WORLD can be the story of any community anywhere trying to conduct itself along the paths of truth, vision, and mutual well-being, and forced to fight for its life against the malignant forces of evil oppression and greed which suddenly seem to be loosed in such overwhelming numbers. And the outcome of the struggle, the final peace, lies only in the hand of God. inventory #24303 Very Good in Worn Dustjacket With a Large Piece Missing From the Front Bottom.…
