I lived in Peru for many years and Kim Macquarrie's book "The Last Days of the Incas" was my constant reference book during that time period.Needless to say, I was ecstatic to learn of his writing "Life and Death in the Andes" and pre-ordered many months before the release on December 1st. I've been glued to the book since.Kim has the ability to share so much knowledge and detail on cultural, historical, anthropological, geographical, environmental, etc aspects but in a way that leaves you not wanting to put the book down and as if you are along on a great adventure story. He is not only a leading authority on all things South American, but a true adventurer as well,so his descriptions are amazing and keep you turning pages but at the same time learning so, so much.This book reminds me a lot of a few of my other favorite books on South America; "One River" by Wade Davis, and "Running the Amazon" and "Savages" by author Joe Kane. But if I was headed to South America and was to take along just one, it would be "Life and Death in the Andes" due to the scope and variety of stories contained within.A must buy book for anyone interested in South America, adventure, history, cultures..the list goes on!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book---and I learned a lot!This well-researched book was very informative on many events that had occurred in South America that I knew very little about. I found the details of how the Shining Path, a terrorist group in Peru, and the biggest drug cartel of Medallin in Columbia, developed and ended. I also liked reading about Darwin and how he came about with his ground-breaking ideas of evolution. I truly want to visit the Galapagos Islands some day! WOW! I didn't know about the floating islands and the lifestyle on Lake Titicaca.The intelligence of the author came through many times and especially with his discussion of Kon Tiki and the theories that surrounded the exploration done by Thor Heyderdahl. Who influenced who? The natives from South America visiting the Polynesian Islands or the Polynesians coming the South America.?This is a well-written book, easy to read and understand and I recommend it.
What a super super book. I went to Peru first in '09 and then went back again and this time included Boliva in Oct. 2015. I read MacQuarrie's The Last Days of the Incas after fist trip. That should be required reading for any and all going to Machu Picchu. This book should be required of anyone going other areas of Peru and to Bolivia. I have been to many of the places he covered and really enjoyed re-living my experience. We did get to see the Ice Maiden of Ampato in her current resting place in Arequipa. Cusco is my most favorite city which was not on the itinerary for latest trip. Sorry that I have not been to the Center for Traditional Textiles. Maybe reason for another trip there. There is a similar place in Bolivia. We also got meet and talk with Paulino Esteban - what an experience and so glad he is in this book. I thought I learned much on my trips but MacQuarrie gave me so much more. I am recommending it to the group on the Oct. trip and other like-minded friends. The histories and cultures of all these South American countries are so deep and varied and fascinating. I only hope MacQuarrie keeps traveling and writing.
I loved Kim's book about the last days of the Incas, I read it after my first big international trip. I went to Peru and it filled in lots of gaps for me, made me want to go back again one day.I was so excited for this book to come out, seemed right up my alley. It's basically 9 or so short articles about interesting things in South American history. It's very well written, you can feel the passion he has for that part of the world. It will make you want to buy a new book after each chapter. He lightly delves Into these stories so you'll probably want to go on and do some more research after you finish. I can't think of a better way to recommend a book. You'll read it and be thirsty for more.The only gripe I have is: I think it could have been a great travelogue as well. I would have loved a few paragraphs here and there about the actual road trip down the west coast of the continent. he could have tied things together really well and made a masterpiece. But, that's a small gripe. I loved this book and I hope Kim keeps writing.
Excellent book. Beautifully written. I read slowly, savoring, and was sad the book ended, which I think, is always the ultimate compliment - wishing a book wouldn't end. For such a large subject, spread across a continent, Life and Death in the Andes is an intimate book. The author gracefully juggles a crosscutting of history - both ancient and recent - along with memoir. No easy task. But MacQuarrie does it masterfully, breathing life into history's characters along the way. A wonderful read. Highly recommended.
Excellent! I bought this title as a way of beginning exploration of South America where I am hoping to travel in the near future. I picked this particular book due to the fact that it integrates a geographical place with some of it's history, prominent events or people as well as including the present experience of the author as he traces in the same footsteps. I am partial to Tony Horwitz books for the same reason. I was sorry when the book ended.
Yet another wonder book from Kim. A collection of stories from South America. I learnt so much from all of them You must check out last days of the Inca too. Its AMAZING!
Love the mix of travel book combined with the history of the early explorers and revolutionaries
