This book traces legends from the Andes and Inca tradition in South America, placing myth and history side by side. Luigi Morelli's approach is both scientific and imaginative, as he seeks to document the correlation between historical turning points in the region, and the spiritual events that ushered them in. Morelli writes from the perspective of Rudolf Steiner's spiritual science. He unveils a spiritual continuity that still plays an important role in South American culture.
