Cut stones and crossroads : a journey in the two worlds of Peru
Wright, Ronald, 1948-2020
Books
In this travel guide to Peru, we get to share in the author's personal discoveries through the humour and good fellowship of the road, full of entertaining misadventures. But there is never any doubt that there is an ultimate purpose to these journeys: a passionate need to bear witness to the truth about the past, after centuries of persecution by an alien ruling class. So through the dense clouds of historical tragedy, Wright excavates hope that a revival of pride and dignity in Andean culture is possible.
