Presented in a unique trilingual format, this anthology of poetry by contemporary Peruvian writers Dida Aguirre, Lily Flores, William Hurtado, Eduardo Ninamango, and Porfirio Meneses provides the original Quechua poems along with their Spanish and English translations. Collected in collaboration with the Americas Society, the book celebrates the rich indigenous heritage of Peru and provides rare insight into a culture that remains largely unknown outside of South America.

"Ambition is not what it used to be," writes Joseph Epstein. The desire to get ahead no longer evokes the same admiration it once didâ indeed, modern novelists seem hardly able to deal with ambition without a sneer. But is ambition necessarily synonymous with ruthless, narrow self-interest? Or, as Mr. Epstein suggests, is it "the fuel of achievement"â an honorable way to influence and advance civilization? Mr. Epsteinâ s sketches of eminent Americansâ from Benjamin Franklin (that premier go-getter) to Henry Ford, Edith Wharton, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Adlai Stevenson, and the Rockefeller, Guggenheim, and Kennedy dynastiesâ and his pointed reconsideration of the ingredients of the American Dream (success, money, and power) form a fascinating social history, one that may change many readersâ attitudes toward their â secret passion.â "Should be must reading in executive suites as well as college classrooms."â Forbes. "Handled with a good amount of wit and with the clear, straightforward analysis of a man with a point of view. Like Samuel Johnson, [Epstein] reminds more often than he instructs."â Jack Richardson, New York Times. "To have so rich an intellectual fare so pleasurably served is rare. Read Ambition and feast."â Saturday Review.
