Description

“In my opinion this project of publications devoted to folk literature of South The united states is of paramount importance. South American mythology belongs to the spiritual inheritance of mankind on par with the great masterpieces of Greek and Roman antiquity and of the Near and Far East. Nowadays this material is scattered in a lot of publications most of which don’t seem to be easy to locate. It would do a great service to scholars all over the place the world and to most people to have them collected in a series of volumes.”
–Claude Levi-Strauss
 
 
“It’s time we had a set of volumes containing good source material for many who want to study South American indigenous narratives; I am also rather certain that many nonspecialists would be interested in original documents of this kind.”
–Gerardo Reichel-Dolmatoff
