Features: This book is divided into five parts: Diving into History, A Corner of the Book Mountain, Interesting Newspaper Articles, A Glimpse of Folk Customs, and a Journey to Latin America. Each part is introduced in detail. The New World of the Americas was not "discovered" by the Europeans of the Old Continent, as this place itself had ancient civilizations—the pyramids of Peru and the ruins of the Maya bear witness to this. Although we rarely see pure indigenous Native Americans directly in the Americas today, they remain as part of history, as theed culture, always surrounding this land. They sometimes resurface, becoming symbols of this land, and this is particularly evident in Latin America.
