- Résumé : "Incidents of Travel in Yucatan" by John L. Stephens is a detailed account of the author's explorations in the Yucatan Peninsula, focusing on the discovery and documentation of ancient ruins. The narrative begins with Stephens' return to Yucatan, accompanied by Mr. Catherwood and Dr. Cabot, after a previous visit was cut short due to illness. The journey is marked by a series of adventures and challenges, including a perilous sea voyage and the vibrant cultural festivities of Merida. Stephens provides vivid descriptions of the local customs, such as the bullfights and the popular game of La Loteria, which reveal the social dynamics and entertainment practices of the region. The core of the work is Stephens' exploration of the ruins, which he believes to be remnants of a mysterious and ancient civilization. He documents visits to forty-four ruined cities, many of which were unknown even to the local inhabitants. The narrative is enriched with detailed illustrations by Mr. Catherwood, capturing the architectural grandeur and intricate carvings of the ruins. Stephens emphasizes the urgency of his work, as these structures are rapidly deteriorating due to natural elements. His account serves as an archival record, aiming to preserve the legacy of these ancient sites for future generations. Throughout the text, Stephens combines his observations with historical context, offering insights into the early European expeditions and the subsequent conquest of Yucatan. His work is not only a travelogue but also an important contribution to the field of archaeology, shedding light on the rich cultural heritage of the Maya civilization.
