Media Reviews
"This republication of the first widely distributed European account of the Yucatan holds surprising relevance for folklorists, archaeologists, and readers interested in the current political conditions in Chiapas. John Stevens and F. Catherwood sojourned there in 1841, visiting haciendas, missions, and ruins. Catherwood's engravings provide excellent documentation of Yucatan before the tourists. I was fascinated by the striking contrast between Stevens' description of the majestic ruins and his attitude toward the native population. While Stevens marvels at the accomplishments of the Mayans, he blandly accepts their descendants' enslavement in the haciendas. The tragic potency of 'Incidents of Travel in Yucatan' lies in this respect for a civilization and concurrent disregard for its people." -- Andrew Needham

Dream of a Thousand Lives
by Karen Connelly
Karen Connelly was a young woman when she left Canada to spend a year in Denchai, a small farming community in northern Thailand. She arrived armed with nothing but a keen sense of adventure; she returned genuinely and forever altered by her experience, which she captures in this lyrical portrait of the real Thailand--a land shaped by both Buddhist 'nothingness' and formal Thai decorum, washed with torrential rains and flattened by steamy heat. Through a carefully crafted narrative, Connelly shares a rare awareness and consideration of Thai culture, while painting through gorgeous prose a country infinitely more complex, frustrating and intriguing than she ever imagined. This book will incite a legion of armchair travelers to pack up for asia, an exotic region made more tangible in the telling--and enchant many more by the sheer grace and humor of Connelly's writing.
