En savoir plus sur le livre

John Lloyd Stephens & Fredrick Catherwood explored a large part of the Maya region on two occasions, 1839 & 1841, later publishing two works that have become classics in the literature on ancient Maya cities: "Incidents of Travel in Central America, Chiapas & Yucatan", which appeared in 1841, & "Incidents of Travel in Yucatan" in 1843, both written by Stphens & illustrated by Catherwood. At that time, when the Maya culture & its archeological remains were practically unknown, these books were immediate successes, but their greatest merit is to have attracted the attention not only of the general public, but also of other explorers & archeologists, leading to a new era of investigations.--back cover
