Book Description
The Book of Swindles, a seventeenth-century story collection, offers a panoramic guide to the art of deception.

Pre-Columbian Literatures of Mexico

Author:
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 9780806119748
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 220

Book Description
This volume presents ancient Mexican myths and sacred hymns, lyric poetry, rituals, drama, and various forms of prose, accompanied by informed criticism and comment. The selections come from the Aztecs, the Mayas, the Mixtecs and Zapotecs of Oaxaca, the Tarascans of Michoacan, the Otomís of central Mexico, and others. They have come down to us from inscriptions on stone, the codices, and accounts written, after the coming of Europeans, of oral traditions. It is Miguel León-Portilla’s intention "to bring to contemporary readers an understanding of the marvelous world of symbolism which is the very substance of these early literatures." That he has succeeded is obvious to every reader.
