Synopsis "Yawar Fiesta (in Spanish)"

Ante la proximidad de La Fiesta Nacional del Perú, el 28 de julio, los vecinos del pueblo andino de puquio comienzan a prepara su Yawar Fiesta, o fiesta de la sangre. Para ello deben atrapar al temible Misitu, el toro que recorre la puna alimentando su propia leyenda. Desde Lima llega la advertencia del Gobierno: la corrida sangrienta se prohíbe. Pero los indios no se resignaran a perder aquello por lo que llevan esperando todo el ano y que forma parte de sus propias tradiciones ancestrales. Ediciones del viento viene a recuperar con esta edición una de las novelas hispanoamericanas mas importantes del siglo pasado.
