Birds Without A Nest

Birds Without A Nest is a novel by Clorinda Matto de Turner that tells the story of indigenous people living in Peru during the late 19th century. The main characters are two young indigenous lovers, Felipe and Marcela, who struggle to maintain their relationship and their way of life amidst the oppression and exploitation of the Catholic Church and the Peruvian government. The novel explores themes of cultural identity, social injustice, and the clash between traditional and modern values. It also sheds light on the complex dynamics between the colonizers and the colonized, and the impact of colonialism on indigenous communities. Through the eyes of Felipe and Marcela, the reader witnesses the harsh realities of life for indigenous people in Peru, including forced labor, land seizures, and cultural erasure. The novel is a powerful critique of the injustices inflicted upon indigenous people by those in power, and a call to action for social justice and equality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
