Tales from South America is a book of adventure, connection, and a lonely personal journey to the ends of the world. Egle, a 28-year old woman from Lithuania, sets out on a 30,000-mile solo motorcycle ride from Peru to Patagonia and back, exploring South America on two wheels. Along the way, as she journeys to the far South, she connects with local people, discovers a different South America and, in the end, a different self. Tales from South America is filled with stories about the everyday life, the weird and wonderful legends, and the extraordinary people of Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, and Colombia. It's also, in a way, an account of a young woman's coming of age, a glimpse into what it was like to be growing up in post-Soviet Lithuania, and a tale of a lone motorcycle adventure across one of the most magical continents on Earth.

Over one hundred stories showcasing the wisdom and artistry of one the world’s richest folktale traditions—the first panoramic anthology of Hispano-American folk narratives in any language. Gathered from twenty countries and combining the lore of medieval Europe, the ancient Near East, and pre-Columbian America, the stories brought together here represent a core collection of classic Latin American folktales. Among the essential characters are the quiet man's wife who knew the Devil's secrets, the three daughters who robbed their father's grave, and the wife in disguise who married her own husband—not to mention the Bear's son, the tricksters Fox and Monkey, the two compadres, and the classic rogue Pedro de Urdemalas. Featuring black-and-white illustrations throughout, this Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folklore Library edition is unprecedented in size and scope, including riddles, folk prayers, and fables never before translated into English.

Anything is possible in the world of Latin American folklore, where Aunt Misery can trap Death in a pear tree; Amazonian dolphins lure young girls to their underwater city; and the Feathered Snake brings the first musicians to Earth. One in a series of folklore reference guides ("...an invaluable resource..."--School Library Journal), this book features summaries and sources of 470 tales told in Mexico, Central America and South America, a region underrepresented in collections of world folklore. The volume sends users to the best stories retold in English from the Inca, Maya, and Aztec civilizations, Spanish and Portuguese missionaries and colonists, African slave cultures, indentured servants from India, and more than 75 indigenous tribes from 21 countries. The tales are grouped into themed sections with a detailed subject index.
