The Heights of Machu Picchu. Poem by Pablo Neruda. Translated by Guðrún H. Tulinius. Foreword by Isabel Allende. Photos by Rebekka Rán Samper, Antonio Hervás Amezcua.
Nobel Prize-winning poet Pablo Neruda, like so many others, was fascinated by the Inca citadel, Machu Picchu, high in the Andes, and wrote about the place in one of his most famous collections of poems. The poems are as immortal as the eternity of Machu Picchu. In the poems, the poet describes the magnificent and cold peaks, the vanished splendor of the advanced Inca society, and tells the painful story that lives in the stones. Machu Picchu is a kind of common denominator for the history of South America. Translator Guðrún H. Tulinius translated his poems after having hiked to Machu Picchu. The book is accompanied by a 10-minute DVD of interesting views in Machu Picchu. Foreword by Isabel Allende. (Bókatíðindi 2005).
