Explendid
Ciro Alegria is considered one of the best writers in South America and he proved it with this book. This book has to be one of the best I have ever read. The story about a little indian "pueblo" in Peru and the troubles they go through to keep their land from greedy rich people and a corrupted government lets you understand what goes on in the isolated areas of this Andean nation. The story is great, Alegria takes you through the lives of each member of the community and allows you to understand better what this country and its people have encountered ever since the Conquistadoroes set foot on this fertile land.

Excellent description of the 60's Peruvian Andes life
Ciro Alegria narrates the fictional story of an Indian Community in the Peruvian Andes that represents so much reality that is hard not to believe is part of the history of Peru. Beautiful prose, full colorful descriptions of Andean farmland views mixed with the feelings and characters that inhabit this wonderful land. Very fair picture of what happened to the native indians (of course, many of them already with hispanic heritage) in the 20th century which makes you realize that why violence could be easily adopted by these people as a way to solve the unfairness of a manipulated system.
