Through a narrative born from within Andean culture, the author portrays the daily life, traditions, oppression, and resistance of the indigenous people in the Peruvian highlands. From his first stories in \u003cem\u003eAgua\u003c\/em\u003e (1935) to his more mature works, Arguedas constructs a universe where the Quechua language and Andean worldview intertwine with the mestizo and Western reality.
