Reviews

[Carlos · Rating 3 out of 5]

Markham escribe un libro que le permite al lector entender fácil y rápidamente la evolución política de esta tierra que se llama el Perú. Aun para el lector más ajeno a la historia del Perú se sentirá a gusto en esta obra. Markham repasa todas partes de la historia de este país, empezando con su geografía y continuando con una muy buena descripción del gobierno Inca que duro por siglos antes de la conquista española. Igualmente continúa la historia a través de la conquista, colonización, lucha por la independencia, el comienzo de la república y termina con la guerra con Chile. Aun la obra termina unos 120 años del presente, Markham consigue tejer una narrativa que da forma y estructura a la historia de este país.
