Highway of the Sun [antikvár]

Preß ace It is now twenty years since the Expedition, of which this book is a record, set oflf along the deserts of Peru to trace out in its entirety 'the grandest and the longest road in the world.' Since then, a whole new generation has come into being, and so I thought that a new edition might be in order, one which, while retaining the immediacy of discovery, might also record the results of further discoveries that this search for Inca highways influenced.^ The record can also act as a stimulant for those who would like to follow in its wake or who believe or have been led to believe that ' everything has been done'. 'Much remains to be done,' to quote Seneca: ^multum adhuc restât. Much still remains to be done, much still will remain, nor shall any man born after the revolution of a thousand ages be denied the opportunity to contribute something.' This 'something' is found in this new edition of the search for the Royal Roads of the Incas. ^^ tt Victor W. von Hägen ^ C. W.
