The Mayans have long fascinated modern readers with their complex
written language, sophisticated mathematics, and advanced
astronomy. In Guatemala in 1558, a young Mayan K'iche' man
transcribed what he called a sacred book that "we can no longer
see." This was the Popul Vuh, the Mayans' written account of the
creation of the universe, the gods and demi-gods who occupied that
universe, and the story of how man was created by them.
Furthermore, it traced, generation by generation, the lineage of
the Mayan lords down to their imprisonment and torture by the
Spanish invaders. Considered the Mayan bible, the Popol Vuh appears
here in an authoritative, gorgeously illustrated version by noted
Maya anthropologist Victor Montejo, who has captured all the drama
and excitement of one of the world's great creation stories.
