Cuentos sagrados de América / The Sea-Ringed World: Sacred Stories of the Americas

Quince mil años antes de que los europeos pisaran las Américas, los pueblos originarios ya se habían extendido de costa a costa, buscando comprender su lugar en el universo y su relación con lo divino. Esta colección reúne historias sagradas de naciones y culturas de dos continentes —el Mundo Rodeado del Mar, como lo llamaban los aztecas— desde la punta de Argentina hasta lo más alto de Alaska. La autora María García Esperón, la ilustradora Amanda Mijangos y el traductor David Bowles han tejido un tesoro de mitos y relatos de origen, ofreciendo a los jóvenes lectores un retrato amplio de la espiritualidad, imaginación y tradición narrativa de los pueblos nativos americanos.

English

The Sea-Ringed World

Fifteen thousand years before Europeans reached the Americas, Indigenous peoples had already spread from coast to coast, seeking to understand their place in the universe and their relationship with the divine. This collection gathers sacred stories from nations and cultures across two continents—what the Aztecs called the Sea-Ringed World—stretching from the tip of Argentina to the far reaches of Alaska. Author María García Esperón, illustrator Amanda Mijangos, and translator David Bowles have woven together a treasure of myths and origin tales, offering young readers a rich, wide-ranging portrait of Native American spirituality, imagination, and storytelling traditions.
