In <i>The Disobedience of the Daughter of the Sun</i>, he revives a hitherto unknown Guatemalan Tzutujil Mayan tale of the beginnings of the world with a poetic retelling of the story, 28 evocative drawings, and a critical analysis that both enlightens and entertains. Having lived with the Mayans and learned their language, Prechtel authoritatively retells the powerful tale of the Tall Girl who weaves the world in a loom, her parents the Sun and the Moon who repudiate her suitors, and the mysterious man who disguises himself as a hummingbird to lure her away. Prechtel expands this archetypal story with five layers of commentary, each teasing out a different wisdom and revealing its relevance to the world today. 356298 2001 The Disobedience of the Daughter of the Sun: A Mayan Tale of Ecstasy, Time, and Finding One's True Form total:17|5:14|4:3| 17 82 48 9 0 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 13 12:24:23 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 13 12:24:23 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Sep 04 16:57:10 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 04 17:57:22 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 04 10:57:01 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 24 04:38:52 -0800 2008 5 0 true false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Mar 02 12:01:11 -0800 2008 Sun Mar 02 12:06:21 -0800 2008
