Description

Description from Project Gutenberg (opens in a new tab)

"Tradiciones peruanas" by Ricardo Palma is a collection of short narratives published over several years in newspapers and magazines. These tales blend historical fact with fiction, recounting episodes from Peru's past—from the Incan Empire through the colonial period to the Republic. Written in the colloquial language of their time and filled with proverbs, songs, and sayings, the 453 stories offer colorful glimpses into Peruvian customs while subtly critiquing political and religious institutions of each era.
