The best-known work of classical Quechua literature: the drama of the general Ollantay, his forbidden love for the Inca's daughter Cusi Coyllur, and his rebellion and pardon. Translated with an introduction by Sir Clements Markham.
Sarmiento's 1572 chronicle preserves the Inca creation cycle of Viracocha, the Ayar origin myth of Pacaritambo, and the legendary history of the Inca dynasty, compiled from the testimony of native record-keepers. Translated by Sir Clements Markham for the Hakluyt Society in 1907.
