Edgar Allan Poe called it perhaps the most interesting travel book
ever published. Here, complete in one volume, is the classic
real-life adventureoriginally published across two volumes in
1841that mesmerized readers with its evocative descriptions of
journeys in Mesoamerica. With a wandering spirit mellowed by an
analytic eye, American diplomat and writer JOHN LLOYD STEPHENS
(18051852) introduced Westerners to the mysteries of the Yucatan in
this contemporary bestseller, riveting armchair explorers with his
lyrical account of visits to 44 Maya sites, including the
then-unknown Chichen Itza and Uxmal. Complete with all the
beautiful original illustrations by English artist and architect
FREDERICK CATHERWOOD (17991854), this is essential reading for
those fascinated by Mesoamerican culture as well as those under the
thrall of an itch to see the world.
