Average Customer Ratings:

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.

Summary: Awesome Book
Comment: 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.
