Clorinda Matto de Turner's classic novel in a new, annotated
edition. First published in 1889, Aves sin nido drew fiery protests
for its unsparing expose of small town officials, judicial
authorities, and priests who oppressed the native peoples of Peru.
Matto de Turner was excommunicated by the Catholic Church, burned
in effigy, and forced to emigrate to Argentina. In 1904, the novel
was published in an English translation as with a modified ending.
Successive English editions restored the original ending and
translator's omissions. This edition follows the original version
in Spanish, but comprises no less than 332 notes, adding more than
270 to the author's own 58 lexicographic annotations on Quecha and
Spanish unusual terms, so necessary to grasp the real power of her
prose. This annotated edition constitutes an important reading for
all students of the indigenous cultures of South America.
This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923. This book
may have occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages,
poor pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the
original artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We
believe this work is culturally important, and despite the
imperfections, have elected to bring it back into print as part of
our continuing commitment to the preservation of printed works
worldwide. We appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in
the preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.

++++ Herencia: Novela Peruana Clorinda Matto de Turner Matto
hermanos, 1895
In 1908, Clorinda Matto de Turner (Peru 1852-Argentina 1909), a
lifelong journalist, feminist and writer, traveled to Europe: Viaje
de recreo (Pleasure trip) is her account of her vivid impressions.
She was particularly interested in the education of women and in
women's career opportunities, but she was also fascinated by the
cultural differences between the West European countries. Her
analysis and descriptions will fascinate anyone interested in the
genre of travel accounts, in museum studies, in feminist history,
or, of course, in Matto's life and writings. In Viaje de recreo,
Matto analyzes the cultural displays of Spain, France, England, and
Italy in great detail, and comments on Switzerland and Germany as
well. She is particularly intrigued by museums, art, architecture,
and cultural productions. She speculates at length about the
differences between the European countries. Viaje de recreo is both
a perceptive travel memoir and a lively autobiography of personal
reflections. Matto was profoundly moved by English honesty and
honor, disappointed that French feminism did not meet her
expectations, impressed by Spanish women writers and activists, and
deeply impressed by the beauties of Italy. She frequently compares
Roman ruins with Incan heritage in Peru, lamenting their
replacement by less tolerant societies. She is impressed by new
technologies - cars, trams, trains, electrical devices, escalators,
factories - but even more fascinated by women's lives and presence
in each country, and by the ways each country has preserved and
displayed its cultural history. This new edition includes extensive
footnotes as well as an introduction to the book and to its author,
with bibliography. The editor, Mary G. Berg, is author of a dozen
articles about Clorinda Matto de Turner, and has edited Matto's
novels Indole and Herencia (Stockcero). She is a Resident Scholar
at Brandeis University's Women's Studies Research Center, and is
finishing a biography of Matto.
