Machu Picchu, one of those talismanic places that everyone dreams of visiting, is celebrated here in the visually stunning photography of Barry Brukoff that evokes the mystery and spiritual atmosphere of this sacred lost city. Interwoven with the images is Pablo Neruda"s epic poem "Heights of Machu Picchu" that has been described as "one of Neruda"s greatest poetic works". The book is a bilingual edition: a sparkling new English translation of Neruda"s poem by noted translator Stephen Kessler runs side by side with the original Spanish.
