For Gregorio and Asunta, however, that silence was broken when Peruvian anthropologists Ricardo Valderrama Fern疣dez and Carmen Escalante Guti駻rez recorded their life stories. The resulting Spanish-Quechua narrative, published in the mid-1970s and since translated into many languages, has become a classic introduction to the lives and struggles of the \"people\" of the Andes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAndean Lives\u003c\/i\u003e is the first English translation of this important book. Working directly from the Quechua, Paul H. Gelles and Gabriela Mart?ez Escobar have produced an English version that will be easily accessible to general readers and students, while retaining the poetic intensity of the original Quechua. It brings to vivid life the words of Gregorio and Asunta, giving readers fascinating and sometimes troubling glimpses of life among Cuzco's urban poor, with reflections on rural village life, factory work, haciendas, indigenous religion, and marriage and family relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ricardo Valderrama Fern疣dez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0292724926\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292724921\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.98w x 0.59d","brand":"Ricardo Valderrama Fern疣dez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946388455679,"sku":"9780292724921","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5371f111-5339-4263-8604-e572ba487fc1.jpg?v=1681512864","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/andean-lives-ricardo-valderrama-fern-ndez-9780292724921","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
