"Artists of the both the eye and the soul here combine their genius to give us a magnificent picture of Macchu Picchu. The ancient and mysterious citadel built by the Incas has piqued human imagination since its discovery in the last century. The grandeur and mystery of the fortress resound in Pablo Neruda’s poetry. The marvels of these wondrous heights echo in the fascinating detail that you can see in Edward Ranney’s ten magnificent photogravures. The poem is presented here in the original Spanish with John Felstiner’s English translation printed alongside."--Publisher's website.
