Product Description:
Popol Vuh, the Quiché Mayan book of creation, is not only the most important text in the native languages of the Americas, it is also an extraordinary document of the human imagination. It begins with the deeds of Mayan gods in the darkness of a primeval sea and ends with the radiant splendor of the Mayan lords who founded the Quiché kingdom in the Guatemalan highlands. Originally written in Mayan hieroglyphs, it was transcribed into the Roman alphabet in the sixteenth century.
This new edition of Dennis Tedlock's unabridged, widely praised translation includes new notes and commentary, newly translated passages, newly deciphered hieroglyphs, and over forty new illustrations.
Rating:
- Pretty much the edition to get.
A superior edition to the old Recinos/Goetz/Morley version. Just a fine read for anyone interested in Mesoamerican prehistory or world religions in general. My only beef is the lack of information in the introduction, which is mostly just a summary of the Popol Vuh itself, which you bought the book to read anyway. The footnotes involve a lot of page-flipping, but are very insightful and informative.
Rating: - Awesome Book
I have read quite a few Mayan books before this one, its a good one. I have a hard time hanging on to and processing the words read in novels, id guess its my slight dyslexia. For some reason scientific books are easier for me. Its a good book and its quite interesting.
Rating: - Popol Vuh
I highly recommend this book to any one who has an interest in the Mayan civilization.
Rating: - Excellent translation
For understanding the basis of the upcoming My2K event of Dec., 2012, this Dennis Tedlock translation is great. I wasn't expecting the story to be humorous, but it is. Entertaining and enlightening.
Rating: - popol vuh
We are offered an excellent translation of the classic Maya text. The imagery is vivid and memorable. The book transports us into the minds of ancients who created one of the most remarkable cultures on the planet.
