Aves sin nido

This work is the most outstanding example of the author's talent. It is recognized as the precursor of indigenous studies literature and a major piece in the Peruvian literary movement. The story has philantrhopic ideas and sentimental attitudes towards the indigenous people. Details of mistreatment and the incompetence of officials expose the curruption of politiical and relgious leaders, while not distracting from the narrative arc of the story.
