Most return to colonial Peru, where Spanish viceroys rule from Lima. Others reach into the Inca past and the early republic. Across these stories, pride and folly give history a lively human face.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eViceroys share the stage with priests, nuns, smugglers, lovers, and judges. Servants outsmart their betters, while cheats and gamblers reveal another side of society. Palma calls each piece a tradition: a form between history and fiction, rooted in documents, sayings, street names, and remembered stories. His wit invites you to explore how a nation tells its own past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInside this book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHistory meets local legend\u003c\/strong\u003e – Discover how documents and old stories come together in Palma’s distinctive traditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower with a human face\u003c\/strong\u003e – Meet viceroys whose authority offers Palma rich ground for irony and gentle mockery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFaith in colonial life\u003c\/strong\u003e – Explore tales where holy figures, accounts of miracles, convents, and processions shape Lima’s world.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRogues with quick wits\u003c\/strong\u003e – Follow clever servants, jealous husbands, and quick-witted women through stories alive with human folly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA city worth wandering\u003c\/strong\u003e – Wander Lima’s streets, balconies, and plazas through tales filled with affection for the city.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for readers who love short tales, colonial history told with humor, and the rich flavor of Latin American storytelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen the first page now, and let Palma’s wit lead you into Lima’s remembered past.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library of Alexandria Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59534677377372,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/9442\/8764\/files\/08739_en_ebook-front_c28.jpg?v=1792175075","url":"https:\/\/libraryofalexandria.com\/fr\/products\/traditions-peruviennes","provider":"The Library of Alexandria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
