Translated from the Spanish by Frances Horning… Barraclough. Texas Pan American Series. 200 pages. hardcover. keywords: Latin America Peru Literature Translated. DESCRIPTION - Named Jose Maria Arguedas' best novel by fellow writer Mario Vargas Llosa, YAWAR FIESTA dramatically portrays the clash of cultures in the small highland town of Puquio, Peru, where Arguedas himself lived in early childhood and adolescence. The incidents described in YAWAR FIESTA take place in the 1930s, soon after Peru's national government issued an edict forbidding the traditional Indian-style bullfight, in which crowds of Indians, armed with only poncl~ and sticks of dynamite, enter a makeshift bullring to fight a wild bull. In one way or another most of the landowners and other town aristocrats, the members of Puquio's four Indian communities, the citizens of mixed blood, and even some of the townspeople who have emigrated to the city wish openly or secretly to perpetuate the traditional contest, but their basic agreement does not preclude conflict. That conflict illustrates with unusual clarity the social, cultural, and racial characteristics of the various classes and groups in Puquio. Far from being fictionalized sociology, however, the novel glows with luminous descriptions of its ruggedly majestic highland setting and vivid portraits of the peoples who inhabit it. This first English-language translation of Yawar Fiesta is published with Puquio: A Culture in Process of Change, Arguedas' essay describing the Indian communities of Puquio as they existed some eighteen years after the time of his novel. Readers of this essay and the fictional work may therefore perceive the same society from Arguedas' viewpoints as anthropologist and as creative artist. The essay also reflects its author's musicological interests and expertise, as it includes the lyrics and some of the music from Indian religious chants and a secular love theme. inventory #14106 Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket With A Few Small Pieces Missing & That Has Some Very Slight Water-Staining Along The Top & Bottom Inside Edge.
