A Little Book of Lima: Forty Reflections on Desert, Ocean, Memory and Reinvention - Softcover
Buch 67 von 81: A Little Book of...
Inhaltsangabe
Lima is a capital built in a desert that rarely sees rain, between a cold Pacific and river valleys made fertile by patient human work. Beneath the garúa, pre-Hispanic huacas, colonial balconies, republican plazas and self-built neighbourhoods occupy the same vast metropolis.
A Little Book of Lima enters the city through forty concise, researched reflections. Follow the Rímac from ancient irrigation to the colonial grid; encounter Pachacamac and Huaca Pucllana; cross the Plaza Mayor, Barrios Altos, Calle Capón, Gamarra, Barranco and the Costa Verde; and listen for the Señor de los Milagros, música criolla and the Afro-Peruvian cajón. Along the way, the book considers the earthquake of 1746, independence, occupation, Andean migration, unequal access to water, seismic memory and a cuisine created through many difficult encounters.
Written for travellers, readers and lovers of layered cities, this is not a conventional guidebook but an intimate literary portrait of Lima: ancient and improvised, restrained and restless, forever learning how to live without rain.
