Voyage to the Legend (English Edition)

The unique culture of today's Maya people in Mexico comes alive in these fifteen narratives by the most widely-read contemporary author of the region. Available here in both English and Spanish for the first time, these stories are about everyday people, living in a realistic but magical place, and their ways of coping with unexpected events that range from a rainstorm of toads to visits from the spirits of the dead. With humor and poignancy they touch upon the universal concerns of families and communities as they balance deep-rooted Maya myths and traditions with the attractions of the twenty-first century world.
