Along the Inca Road: A Woman's Journey into an Ancient Empire (Adventure Press)

Amazon.com

What's an American woman doing shaking a pink cape at a bull on a hillside in Peru? Ask Karin Muller, a self-described vagabond who is game for anything, especially if it's a traditionally male task in strictly sex role-divided South America. After years of contemplating the thin red line of the Inca Road on her map of the world, Muller takes off with a grant from the National Geographic Society (which also supplied a cameraman) for a six-month jaunt through Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, and Chile. Along the way, she searches for remnants of the ancient stone-paved road and jumps headfirst into whatever adventure she can find. First stop, a cuy doctor whacks her on the back and head with a whimpering guinea pig, then offers her a diagnosis based on the quality of the animal's intestines. She's tear-gassed in an indigenous antigovernment protest, and dresses in an orange cloak, gold sparkles, and black face paint (a concoction made of tar and animal fat) to pull a 200-pound roast pig during the Festival of Mama Negra. In a surreal moment, she witnesses the mysterious crash of a Brazilian military helicopter in the Andean highlands, and in a horrific one, crawls through a mole-like tunnel deep into a mountainside where men spend years digging for gold, leaving only to eat, wash, and haul their ore 423 steps to a giant crushing machine. She even watches a military crew clear live mines planted by Peruvians during the Ecuador-Peruvian border war.

Throughout her adventures, Muller weaves a lively history of the rise and fall of the Incan empire. While the old road is hard to find, the Incan legacy is everywhere, from curanderismo (shamanism) to roundups of golden-fleeced vicunas by villagers spread in human chains to the farming of coca leaves. Her explication of the coca tradition is particularly interesting: the "quintessential Andean sacrament" and the ultimate marker of indigenous identity, chewing coca leaves is akin to sharing a cup of coffee. Of course, she also joins a Bolivian special forces drug patrol in the Amazon to see the more familiar face of cocaine. While Muller doesn't slow down long enough for introspection or much genuine human connection (and you have to occasionally wonder about her cultural sensitivity), she does have a remarkable knack for putting herself in the middle of events, and an unflagging enthusiasm for taking risks most tourists wouldn't dream of. --Lesley Reed

Book Description

One of the engineering wonders of the world, the Inca Road was built more than five hundred years ago to link the far-flung outposts of a fabled empire -- an empire that ruled in golden splendor until the conquistadors arrived to plunder El Dorado and put a swift, cruel end to its extraordinary culture. But its legend survives in the masterful masonry of its paving blocks and the ruined glory of ghost cities such as Cuzco. In this vivid, free-wheeling expedition, Karin Muller travels the ancient route to explore its dramatic history and discover new adventures along its length and breadth.

Along the Inca Road shares the stillness of sunrise in the haunted aerie of Machu Picchu, clings to the roof of a rattletrap bus skirting the vertiginous precipices of the Andes, carouses through the streets of an Altiplano city on Carnival, and inches warily forward as Ecuadorian soldiers probe for land mines with bayonets. Muller's ready for just about anything, whether it's challenging the Pacific surf in a traditional Inca reed boat, locking horns with a bull in a cheering Peruvian arena, or joining a crack Bolivian anti-narcotics team on a hunt for clandestine cocaine labs deep in the jungle. She initiates us into the mysteries of the spirits at a shaman's rite involving hamsters, hallucinogens, and copious libations of moonshine, and high in a mountain meadow captures a struggling vicuna, whose prized silky fleece once was reserved for the Inca god-king alone. And these are only a few of the traveler's tales from a 3,125-mile odyssey encompassing four countries and every form of transportation under the sun, from footslogging, mule train, and motorbike to state-of-the-art military vehicles.

As she spins the wool of her stories into a modern tapestry of faces and memories, Muller intertwines a chronicle of the ancient Inca from their race's mythical birth on an island in lofty Lake Titicaca to their sudden plunge from the height of imperial power at the hands of a ragtag band of Spanish soldiers of fortune. We learn how they lived, worshipped, and warred, and why such a magnificent culture proved so vulnerable to invaders.

As spectacular as the mountainscapes that are its breathtaking backdrop, Along the Inca Road is a wonderful panorama of past and present -- the kind of sharply observed portrait of a unique part of the world and its colorful people that displays the art of travel literature at its best.

not a trek to emulate!.......2006-06-23

Like other reviewers, my first complaint about this book is the lack of a map!

The drifts into lectures on the Spaniards invasion of the Inca empire got tiresome because there was nothing new to anyone who has read any history of South America already. I found the jumping into local (mostly men's or government-related) activities sometimes surprising and adventurous, sometimes appalling. And it sounds like everything was dirty and the food mostly unappetizing or disgusting, both of which I find hard to believe.

That said, I admire a woman who would undertake such a trek on a semi-solo basis (having a photographer along takes away much of the solo aspect). I found the first chapter, the brink of the adventure, the most appealing. It would have been interesting to have a little more background on Karin herself and on how National Geographic funded it. Did she have to stay in hovels because there weren't enough funds, or was that a personal choice (likely because she notes her disdain for luxury hotels).

Basically, I was glad I read the library's copy and didn't purchase my own.

Read it for the adventure, not the facts. .......2005-11-09

I decided to read this book with much caution; it seemed at best a very superficial account of an adventurous travel narrative. While I applaud the author's courage and willingness to endanger herself for the sake of telling a good story, her willingness to learn about Andean traditions along the Inca road camouflages her ingrained ignorance and arrogance of people and cultures of the Andean region.

I did not expect to read an anthropological analysis of the author's encounters along the Inca Road, but neither did I expect her demeaning attitude of indigenous culture. Muller's treatment of events and traditions she encountered reflects a shallow understanding of Andean cultures. The precise moment where my disgust of the author's vision overcame my interest in her adventures occurred when she described an Aymara person speaking in a mixture of broken Spanish and in the Aymara dialect. This statement completely overlooks the fact that Spanish varieties exist in various forms and that the Aymara language was never a dialect, but a language of a civilization that predates the Incas.

For centuries, the process of translating cultures has exacerbated the conditions of difference, and the wide gap between the "us versus them". While, the author seems to want to avoid further alienation between the materialistically modernized, namely herself, and the Andean world, her contributions fall into this category. She paints herself a heroic woman, challenging social roles and customs, but along the way proves that the stereotypical version of the "ugly American" still exists in ignorant travelers.
While I commend her efforts in her travel narrative, I caution all readers to not read her book for cultural understanding of the region.

Winter Gateway.......2005-01-29

This is an exellent book to read, while snow and ice falls from the sky. Heading to South America next year, found it to be a great starting point to plan the trip. She has a some great stories to share with others on the trip.

I don't really know why I didn't like this book that much..........2003-08-29

The strange thing about this book is that theoretically everything's fine about it - looking for and at the remains of a fascinating culture, the author taking part in the local rituals and daily life, writing of acceptable quality. It should be grand - and still I don't like it for some reason.

What made this book quite tiresome was Karin Muller's lack of a sense of humor. It is my firm belief that it is very hard to write a breathtaking book about a difficult journey without being able to see the funny side of different situations. Perhaps that was why I can't say I like the author as a person - and since this book is based on her personal experiences, that itself takes away from the fun of reading this book. Also - as another reviewer correctly noted - she constantly tries to do things that are only done by men in this country, ignoring the gender roles there are a part of the local culture. Is it some misguided attempt to show that women are equal to men? It's certainly very out of place in this country of so ancient traditions.

Karin Muller's descriptions lack real vividness, and she is considers too many local people to be weird. True, their lifestyle is quite different, but it can be said with absolute certainty that so are the lifestyles of many individuals of her own country. She gives fake respect to the world views of these people, talking about how perhaps that is the right way to live. It is obvious she doesn't have the intention of ever doing so.

My review is almost certainly too negative, do not expect the book to be so bad, but I have outlined the main faults simply trying to guess why I instinctively didn't like this book.

And - too much amateur philosophy, perhaps?

interesting story about an interesting place.......2003-01-06

this is such an interesting place in the world- my wife an I visited it a couple of years ago. Inca history is remarkable, and the area is incredibly beautiful, but life is hard there. Karin describes bith very well in this very interestin book. If you are planning to travel there, you really should read this book

My favorite out of the eight Cheysuli books.......1999-12-15

Jennifer Roberson has written a fantastic, sweeping series that spans generations. It is so much more than cliche sword and sorcery fantasy. It's about moral struggles, genocide, and prejudice. This installment is my favorite of the series because the main character, Aidan, is such an interesting person with an unusual lir (animal familiar). His inner struggle to find his place in the destiny of his people is so important that he is gently prodded along by several of the Cheysuli deities. The history of what has happened in the series so far is revisited in Aidan's encounters with the spirits of his long-dead royal kin.

One thing - don't even bother trying to read this book unless you have read the first six. Briefly: Book One, Shapechangers, is an enchanting introduction to the world of the Cheysuli; Book Two, The Song of Homana, was kind of slow and hard to get through for me, but thank goodness I did because the rest of the series is so fantastic; Book Three, The Legacy of the Sword, covers the struggle of Donal, the first Cheysuli Mujhar, to be accepted by the people he must rule; Book Four, Track of the White Wolf (which is my second favorite of the series), is about Niall, who hovers between the world of the Cheysuli and the Homanans without really being a true part of either one; Book Five, A Pride of Princes, is about the terrible experiences at the hands of the malevolent Ihlini that cause Niall's three sons to come of age; Book Six, Daughter of the Lion, switches gears and focuses on Keely, Niall's daughter, and her fight to accept the womanhood she's tried to ignore; Book Eight, A Tapestry of Lions, is the magnificent conclusion of the series with the fulfillment of the prophecy coming in an unexpected fashion and one of the best endings I've ever read in a fantasy series.

good book........1999-12-07

I read the Cheysuli Chronicles as an adolescent but find myself picking them up time and time again to reread them and delve back into the depths of this portion of Cheysuli History in Homana.

Flight of the Raven has been a long-standing favorite of mine. Aidan is an excellently developed character--he is probably my favorite out of all the Cheysuli royalty. Ms. Roberson once again manages to portray Aidan and the rest of the characters in a manner that forces you to empathize with them and share in their internal struggles, fears, hopes, and dreams. This novel stands apart from the rest of the Cheysuli Chronicles as it delves more closely into the mysteries of the Gods and is generally more spiritual. As with the rest of the Chronicles this novel pitts Cheysuli against Ihlini, but the struggle in this novel has the highest stakes I've seen yet and is definitely the most heart-wrenching. I recommend it to those who have read the rest of the series.

Extremely creative and well written........1999-10-23

I have read the whole series and highly recommend all of them. Ms. Roberson is creative and thought provoking. She accomplishes both with a beautiful writing style that evokes very real images of her characters, their personal triumphs and tragedies and that of the Cheysuli race. There is tragedy and triumph in abundance here from a fertile and well thought author and while eight books may seem like many, it won't after you have read the first one! Read and enjoy!

if you havent read it you are really missing out........1997-10-23

you really cant just read one you gotta read the whole set they are really great Jennifer Roberson really knows how to write a story. Donna Sanchez,Los Alamos, New Mexico

Book Description

Noah sent the raven first. That bird, it never came back. It just kept on flying out over the water that covered the world. Some bird, that raven. Some black survivor of a bird.

Elijah Raymond fled the Ark -- an experimental home for the gifted -- when his friends were torn from him. Now he has been found by terrorists and is kept trapped in their woodland hideout, where he retreats into the safety of the “dreamtime.”

Amber Landis is the daughter of the terrorist leader, Charles, a charismatic cult figure who has convinced her and the others that radical change demands "necessary losses," even deaths. But Elijah's presence is making her question everything she has always believed.

Elijah can sense the violence that is coming, even in the peace of the dreamtime. Is it time for the raven to take flight again -- or can he find a way to save himself, and Amber, too?

7TH GRADER FROM JOHNSON MIDDLE SCHOOL.......2005-04-06

THIS BOOK WAS GREAT.TOLAN PULLS YOU IN WITH EXCITING PHRASES, AND AN EXTREMELY SUSPENSEFULL PLOT. I WOULD RECOMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE ABOVE THE AGE OF 10.

Prophecy.......2002-03-06

I loved the book! It is highly prophetic, as we see now, after 9/11. It presents moral, ethical, and philosophical questions to the readers that require deep soul-searching...

Flawed execution, high potential.......2001-12-24

In "Welcome to the Ark", Elijah was the least developed of the four characters. Miranda was the easiest to empathize with, the clear center of the novel. Doug was clearly hurt, but he expressed it. Taryn had her poems and her deep connections with everyone and everything to show her feelings of loss. Elijah, a superbly intelligent boy diagnosed as autistic, was the string tying them together, but his characterization itself wasn't much thicker than one. He was the raven, both the protector and the protected, and the silent child who grew a voice in his head, on the computer, and eventually quietly out loud.

In "Flight of the Raven", much of Elijah's characterization suffers from being in the focus rather than the background. His character is interesting when based on interactions, but in this book, he's one of three things: the hunted, the hunter, or the symbol. He and Kenny play a game of cat-and-mouse that seems out of character for Elijah- especially for an Elijah who certainly remembers how to "tame" the violence, as he expressed. He might not have been sure if it would work, but none of the kids in WttA with the possible exception of Doug would have refused to try after the events in the book. Elijah, especially, tended to think before acting. His desire to "get back" at Kenny is normal, but his constant hesitations due to his own size seem to contradict the history in WttA, with Taryn calling birds and all four causing Timmy to break his own foot. The ending of this book makes no sense in the context of WttA, which provided so many ways around violence before he used violence as the means to an admittedly non-violent end. The way he used violence was also mind-boggling; his transformation wasn't precipitated by any hard facts, but he was willing to try that over something tried and true. It rang false for the mind of such a logical character.

Elijah and the raven have always been intertwined, but in this book it becomes much more heavy-handed. In WttA, it was his symbol, and it was in the dreams. As Taryn had said, "the raven still flies". In this book, everyone accepts the bird as a sign, Cassie sees it as an omen, and Kenny hunts ravens to make his point to Elijah. Ravens save Elijah. The book leaves Elijah seeming almost Taryn-like, but his views against peace (saving himself and Cassie and Amber over the lives of others) are decidedly not.

Speaking of Amber, her "Ark-ness" isn't in any way explained. Both Amber and Kenny are intelligent, but Amber shows no sign of Ark. The only signs we're given are heavy-handed, at least compared to the subtlety in WttA. In WttA there were glimmers between Miranda and Taryn or Miranda and Doug, before they communicated about their shared dreams, before Taryn "told" her how the tree felt. Here, Elijah feels connection from almost the beginning. He heals Amber before he knows her. An argument could be made that he opened up after the Ark experience, but the same could be made that upon leaving them he immediately went back to his old ways (getting "inside" the marble, Tondishi, avoidance, etc.) as soon as he left. Amber, however, has never been open to Arkness before. Ark kids were anti-violence, anti-world; she reveled in it and took her father's words at face value.

The near-assault of Amber, while compelling, seemed harsh in a book aimed at children. I don't know if the youngest readers would understand how close it seemed to a rape, and the older readers will probably wonder why it wasn't more of a focal point. Amber was okay with murder when she felt her assaulter would be properly punished, but that isn't a solution. WttA succeeded because the solutions, although not feasible in a literal sense, make sense in symbolic terms. A child could become friends with others who are different and improve the world, albeit not by psychically bonding. Accepting a bombing isn't an answer.

The bioweapons seemed both heavy-handed and scarily prescient. I wish there had been more of a hint of something wrong with Landis, besides Elijah's "bad feeling" about him. It made a possibly good plot weakened. In addition, Elijah left Mack and Kenny in charge as the lesser of evils, and it's disconcerting to think of a "good guy" seeing things that way. No, 140 million people won't die, but they aren't solving problems except with bombs whose death tolls "don't matter". As I was IMing a friend about the book, I kept finding things that rang eerily in the aftermath of even worse New York terrorism. The smallpox issues, which hit me both because of the recent news issues and because of the Cross-X high school debate topic on it, were exceptionally, frighteningly, and flawlessly accurate as far as my research has gone, but the concepts of the "solution" seemed to again go against Elijah and what he chose. He empathized with Amber over dead rabbits and dead parents, much like he did previously when he chose vegetarianism. I suppose the reader could assume that he chose to "turn off" part of the Ark part of his mind the way Doug and Miranda did, but he clearly used it with Amber throughout the novel. It makes sense for Elijah to develop his mind more, away from the stabilizing and repressing atmospheres the other three were in, but it doesn't seem logical for him to develop in this way.

Overall, despite these criticisms, I enjoyed the book. I liked references to the Ark, and the story kept within the context of the ending of WttA. Elijah is still a compelling character, although less so. But unlike WttA, this won't be a book I'll be rereading often. It provides some closure for Elijah, but didn't fit in with what I wanted to believe about all of the characters. It had all of the ingredients for a wonderful book, but they didn't mix together for a really good read.

Eerily timely - Terrorism.......2001-10-25

This book is a sequel to Welcome to the Ark, which I really
enjoyed because of the sensitive portrayal of extremely gifted
children. As a sequel, this book follows Elijah, who recently
escaped from the mental hospital in which he was being held and
is picked up in the forest by a group of terrorists who are
bent on disrupting and eventually destroying the repressive
government of the United States.

Elijah, who is for a long time mute and who is usually outside
of the happenings in the compound, eventually makes friends with
Amber, the daughter of the head of the group. Amber is uneasy
about certain aspects of the goals of the group, but she can't
articulate the reasons for her growing sense that something is
wrong.

Both of the major characters have to eventually face the realities
of the world with regard to their personal commitments to each
other and to the mission of the group, when Amber is the target of
an attempted assault and the terrorism of the group goes further
than they can fathom.

The eeriness of this tale comes from the "bombing of the towers"
and the attempt to infect the whole world with small pox.

As with Welcome to the Ark, though, the ending of this story goes
just a bit too far into fantasy for my taste. Most of each of the
books is realistic and so possible that you would almost think
that the characters are real. But then, at the very end, the
books get mystical and veer off into fantasy. Yes, there may be
powers that these kids have that can't be explained by modern
science, but that almost seems like a cop out, given the very real
world problems they are confronting.

Still, I am eager for the next in the series.

Cozy inspirational mystery series .......2007-06-06

Those readers who enjoyed the story of ornithologist Abigail "Abby" Stanton in WHISPERS THROUGH THE TREES will want to continue the saga with FLIGHT OF THE RAVEN, the second installment in the 14-book Mysteries of Sparrow Island series by different authors. This one is written by Ellen Harris.

In the first installment of this cozy inspirational mystery series (whose books are best read in order), we meet Abby, a former Cornell ornithologist and godly 55-year-old career woman who has made a name for herself in the birding world. After taking a sabbatical from her job to care for her widowed sister, Mary, who is wheelchair-bound after a car accident, Abigail decides to stay on the fictional Sparrow Island (just off the coast of Washington State in the real-life San Juan Islands) to live with Mary and do on-site work with birding and conservation on the island.

In book two, we find that the independent and outdoorsy Abby has settled into the quiet pace of island life, savoring the kindness of the islanders and the close, hard-won relationship with her sister. When a seaplane is thought to have gone down on one of San Juan's many islands, she teams up with her friend (and Mary's love interest) Sergeant Henry Cobb to try to rescue any survivors. While the two are hunting for the seaplane, Mary has plenty of time to ponder Henry's growing attentions to her and her own misgivings about her infirmities. Should she saddle him with a handicapped girlfriend?

FLIGHT OF THE RAVEN steps up the suspense a notch or two in comparison to WHISPERS THROUGH THE TREES. A threatened murder, a few gun-waving scenes and a struggle for short-term survival on a wilderness island won't make pulses race too much but does make this novel seem more like the mystery promised in the series title. However, it's still a cozy --- the only blood shed here is a cut that's no worse than you might get shaving.

A sweet, endearing dual plot theme of this novel is the introduction of Finnegan, a mobility assistance dog. When Mary's son Zack shows up with the golden retriever and Labrador mix pooch as a gift to her, Mary is resistant, sure that Finnegan will only create extra chaos in her life. And how will her beloved cat Blossom take to the newcomer? But, as the hours pass and Abby doesn't return from her hunt for the seaplane survivors, Mary finds herself relying on Finnegan --- and wondering if she should change her mind.

Bird lovers will appreciate the ornithological details, including Abby's work with young peregrine falcons and their release, which provide suitable metaphors for some of the themes of the story. Faith fiction fans will be glad to come across scripture references at regular intervals, particularly on anxiety and worry. Sometimes, the faith aspect seems a bit forced (as when Abby uses a lacrosse stick as a weapon, and Henry says she is "armed with the crosse."). Some nice bits of humor lighten any tension, including Abby's thoughts when she is rummaging through the wrecked plane and sees a briefcase made of animal skin, something she "was sure she'd disapprove of." Also appealing is the close-knit community of the fictitious idyllic Sparrow Island, where Abigail and Mary live close to their elderly parents (who prosaically are organic farmers who grow lavender among their other offerings) and are surrounded by good friends. As Mary and Abby's precocious little friend and neighbor Bobby says, "People here are nice."

Readers who enjoyed WHISPERS THROUGH THE TREES should find FLIGHT OF THE RAVEN just their cup of tea. And with 14 books in the series, they can anticipate reading about Abby and Mary's life on Sparrow Island for a long time to come.
