From Library Journal:
The author, a Cambridge-educated journalist, travels by himself from Argentina through Bolivia to Peru. His purpose is to seek out the ancient Aymara and others whose history and culture predated that of the Incas, who conquered them. The trip covers some of the most isolated and harshest regions on the continent--primarily the Altiplano, the plateau between the eastern and western cordilleras of the Andes. Shukman hitches rides, walks, travels in lorries, pitches his tent, and meets people. The author has a poet's eye; his vivid descriptions of the scenery, the villages, the ruins of this unvisited and largely unknown area dance across the pages. Interweaving a little history and myth along with the sights and sounds, Shukman has succeeded in producing one of the most enjoyable travel books in years. (Map and black-and-white photos not seen.) Highly recommended.
