Summary

"Moche Civilization" explores the fascinating pre-Columbian Andean society that thrived in ancient Peru for over six centuries. Going beyond the traditional view of the Moche as just a "warrior culture", the book delves into the intricate connections between their advanced irrigation systems, distinctive pottery, and societal structure. The Moche people were remarkably adept at environmental management, building sophisticated irrigation networks to cultivate crops in an arid landscape, demonstrating a crucial aspect of their ingenuity and helping sustain a thriving population.

 
The book examines the Moche's artistic prowess through their pottery, which served as a medium for religious expression, social hierarchy, and historical narratives. This pottery reveals a complex society with deeply ingrained beliefs and social strata.

 
The book is structured in four parts, beginning with the historical context, then progressing to their agricultural practices, artistic achievements, and finally, an exploration of their warrior ethos. This approach provides a holistic view of Moche society, its achievements, and its eventual decline. By drawing upon archaeological evidence and recent findings, the book offers a fresh perspective on the Moche, emphasizing the interconnectedness of their environmental adaptations, artistic traditions, and militaristic culture. It provides a nuanced understanding of their social, economic, and ideological systems, making it a valuable resource for students and anyone interested in ancient civilizations and pre-Columbian history.

    With a history stretching back nearly 1,500 years, written works originating from Japan encompass a vast range of forms and genres. Since the eighth century, poetry and the non-philosophical lyric voice have occupied a central position in Japanese cultural life. The art of narrative would soon follow, blossoming in the eleventh century with one of the world's great literary masterpieces, Murasaki Shikibu's The Tale of Genji. Japanese literature later developed other genres no less important than poetry and narrative, among them the diary, the free-flowing essay, drama, the picture book, and the literary treatise. 
     
     
     
    While intensely attentive to its own tradition, Japanese literature has also embraced the outside world, particularly the influence of China. Beyond this, Japan boasts a powerful literary culture, made up of cultivated reading publics, both aristocratic and bourgeois, literary salons, specialized presses, authoritative judges of talent who cultivated and celebrated particular writers and styles, and a canon consisting of classics. A succinct introduction to one of the most dynamic and diverse world literatures, this Very Short Introduction traces the rich history of Japanese literature from its beginnings over a millennium ago to the present day.
