About the Book:The **Popol Vuh**, the Quiché Mayan book of creation, is not only the most important text in the native languages of the Americas but also an extraordinary document of the human imagination. This epic narrative begins with the primordial deeds of Mayan gods in the darkness of a primeval sea, weaving tales of creation and cosmic battles that resonate with universal themes of birth, life, and death. It culminates in the radiant splendor of the Mayan lords who founded the Quiché kingdom in the Guatemalan highlands, depicting their divine ancestry and heroic feats. The **Popol Vuh** is a treasure trove of mythological and historical knowledge, offering profound insights into the spiritual and cultural life of the ancient Maya. Originally inscribed in the enigmatic Mayan hieroglyphs, the **Popol Vuh** was transcribed into the Roman alphabet in the sixteenth century, preserving its wisdom for future generations. This monumental text captures the grandeur of the Mayan cosmos and the intricate rituals that bound the Quiché people to their gods and ancestors. It tells of the Hero Twins, Hunahpu and Xbalanque, whose adventures in the underworld and eventual triumph over the forces of darkness symbolize the eternal struggle between good and evil. The **Popol Vuh** also chronicles the creation of humanity, the trials faced by the gods, and the establishment of the natural and social order, making it a foundational text for understanding Mayan cosmology and worldview. The new edition of Dennis Tedlock's unabridged, widely praised translation of the **Popol Vuh** brings this ancient epic to life with unparalleled clarity and depth. Tedlock's work includes new notes and commentary that illuminate the text's rich layers of meaning, along with newly translated passages and deciphered hieroglyphs that enhance our understanding of the Mayan language and its poetic nuances. Over forty new illustrations vividly depict scenes from the **Popol Vuh**, transporting readers to the vibrant world of the Maya. This edition is not just a translation but a visual and intellectual feast, offering a fresh and exciting way to experience one of the greatest works of indigenous literature.
