Les lances du crépuscule

"The originality and the main contribution of this ethnography of the Achuar, an indigenous group of the Peru/Ecuador border region, is its style, which departs from standard monographic writing to explore the literary possibilities of ethnography. The result is an extraordinarily engaging work in which native thought, emotions, and actions - in short, Achuar culture - is revealed in constant dialogue with the ethnographer and in his reflections"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
