“Mr. Allan Burns, I am here to tell you an example, the example of the Hunchbacks.” So said Paulino Yamá, traditionalist and storyteller, to Allan Burns, anthropologist and linguist, as he began one story that found its way into this book. Paulino Yamá was just one of several master storytellers from the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico from whom Burns learned not only the Mayan language but also the style and performance of myths, stories, riddles, prayers, and other forms of speech of their people. The result is An Epoch of Miracles, a wonderfully readable yet thoroughly scholarly set of translations from the oral literature of the Yucatec Maya, an important New World tradition never before systematically described. An Epoch of Miracles brings us over thirty-five long narratives of things large, small, strange, and “regular” and as many delightful short pieces, such as bird lore, riddles, and definitions of anteaters, rainbows, and other commonplaces of the Mayan world. Here are profound narratives of the Feathered Serpent, the mighty Rain God Chac and his helpers, and the mysterious cult of the Speaking Cross. But because these are modern, “Petroleum Age” Maya, here too are a discussion with Cuba’s Fidel Castro and a greeting to former president Richard Nixon. All pieces are translated ethnopoetically; examples of several genres are presented bilingually. An especially valuable feature is the indication of performance style, such as pauses and voice quality, given with each piece.

Mientras que el desarrollo sociopolítico de los pueblos del centro de México alcanzó su clímax en la última parte del período postclásico (900-1500), la civilización maya tuvo su máximo esplendor en la etapa clásica (200-900 d.C.). A lo largo de estos siglos las ciudades-estado desarrollaron una inusitada actividad crea-dora que se plasmó en múltiples órdenes: arquitectura, relieve y escultura, pintura mural y cerámica, matemática y calendario, mitología y ritual. JOSÉ ALCINA FRANCH recoge en MITOS Y LITERATURA MAYA una selección de las más importantes muestras de las tradiciones orales de los mayas que alcanzaron su expresión escrita bajo la dominación española: El Popol Vuh, los Libros de Chilam Balam, los Anales de los cakchiqueles, los Textos de Quintana Roo, los Textos lacandones, los Textos tzotziles, la Historia de los xpantzay de Tecpán, Guatemala, el Códice de Calkiní, el Título de los Señores de Totonicapán, el Rabinal Achí, el Libro de los Cantares de Dbitbalché y los Cuentos son de un valor extraordinario para comprender el profundo sentido de la civilización maya, esa gran cultura mesoamericana.

This volume presents ancient Mexican myths and sacred hymns, lyric poetry, rituals, drama, and various forms of prose, accompanied by informed criticism and comment. The selections come from the Aztecs, the Mayas, the Mixtecs and Zapotecs of Oaxaca, the Tarascans of Michoacan, the Otomís of central Mexico, and others. They have come down to us from inscriptions on stone, the codices, and accounts written, after the coming of Europeans, of oral traditions. It is Miguel León-Portilla’s intention "to bring to contemporary readers an understanding of the marvelous world of symbolism which is the very substance of these early literatures." That he has succeeded is obvious to every reader.

Mexico’s indigenous people speak a number of rich and complex languages today, as they did before the arrival of the Spanish. Yet a common misperception is that Mayas have no languages of their own, only dialectos, and therefore live in silence. In reality, contemporary Mayas are anything but voiceless. Chiapas Maya Awakening, a collection of poems and short stories by indigenous authors from Chiapas, Mexico, is an inspiring testimony to their literary achievements. A unique trilingual edition, it presents the contributors’ works in the living Chiapas Mayan languages of Tsotsil and Tseltal, along with English and Spanish translations. As Sean S. Sell, Marceal Méndez, and Inés Hernández-Ávila explain in their thoughtful introductory pieces, the indigenous authors of this volume were born between the mid-1970s and the mid-1990s, a time of growing cultural awareness among the native communities of Chiapas. Although the authors received a formal education, their language of instruction was Spanish, and they had to pursue independent paths to learn to read and write in their native tongues. In the book’s first half, devoted to poetry, the writers consciously speak for their communities. Their verses evoke the quetzal, the moon, and the sea and reflect the identities of those who celebrate them. The short stories that follow address aspects of modern Maya life. In these stories, mistrust and desperation yield violence among a people whose connection to the land is powerful but still precarious. Chiapas Maya Awakening demonstrates that Mayas are neither a vanished ancient civilization nor a remote, undeveloped people. Instead, through their memorable poems and stories, the indigenous writers of this volume claim a place of their own within the broader fields of national and global literature.

Literatura maya constituye un intento de sistematización y un análisis general de la literatura maya colonial, situada en su horizonte histórico cultural, que busca dar una visión de conjunto del afán expresivo y la sensibilidad poética del pueblo maya. El criterio básico que ha seguido este libro, de a acuerdo a su autora, ha sido contemplar no sólo la creación literaria procedente de todo el territorio maya, sino además considerar la diversidad de textos que ellos elaboraron.
