Editorial Reviews
Review
Carlos Fuentes
Popol Vuh is one of the great books about the creation of the world. It is the Mayan Bible.
Los Angeles Times
The volume is required reading for everyone seriously interested in Native American literature or in Meso-American cultural history. Its publication is a major event.

Dennis Tedlock's splendid version...[is] the work of a brilliant anthropologist who is also a true "poet of performance," himself trained by a native Quiché master....Superb notes and glossary...An event of quite exceptional importance.
Vine Deloria, Jr.
author of Custer Died for Your Sins
Tedlock's translation is sensitive, precise, and illuminating. It will greatly help the Popol Vuh achieve its rightful place as a masterpiece of religious writing, familiar to all those who seek a message that transcends ordinary concerns.
