Paket „Der Qanchi Machu lebt noch"

Margit Gutmann is a German ethnolinguist who, whilst living in a Quechua-speaking village community in the Cusco region of the southern Andes in Peru, was granted the privilege not only of having stories from their rich oral tradition told to her, but also of being allowed to record them on tape for publication.
This two-volume work takes us, on the one hand, into the everyday life of Pomacanchi in the 1980s, with its customs, festivals and language. Furthermore, the oral Quechua narratives in the second volume offer us a window into the Andean perspective on the world. Each narrative is accompanied by information on the circumstances in which it was told, and by explanations of difficult expressions.
