La carretera del sol. La búsqueda del camino real… by Victor W. Von Hagen
Histórico.
This book suffers from somthing that plagues many works written in the 1960s (and before and sometimes since) about non-Western cultures; a theme of condescencion toward the subjects of the book.
The 223 page book has 3 chapters, 53 illustrations, 15 photographs and is written in a detailed yet easy to understand way for non-scientists. Realm Of The Incas begins with Incan historical/geographical background, proceeding to the people and their appearance, language, daily life and everything it entails.
