The Yacana and other stories
The book “La Yacana y otros relatos” (The Yacana and Other Stories) is composed of an attractive selection of stories adapted from translations of the manuscript by José María Arguedas and Gerald Taylor.
Each and every one of them immerses us in the richness of myths and legends. They show us the deities or huacas represented by imposing mountains and snow-capped peaks as protective gods. They tell us about the magical relationship between the sun, the moon, and the stars with fertility and the life cycles of humans, animals, and crops.
