- 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 and his companions embarking on a journey from the United States to Yucatan, driven by previous reports of extensive and mysterious ruins in the region. Upon arrival, they are greeted with the vibrant culture of Merida, where they witness local festivities, including bullfights and religious ceremonies, which provide a backdrop to their archaeological pursuits. Stephens describes the logistical challenges of traveling through the dense jungles and the excitement of uncovering the remnants of ancient cities. The book details visits to numerous sites, including Uxmal, Kabah, and Mayapan, where Stephens and his team document the architectural marvels and intricate carvings that hint at the sophisticated civilization that once thrived there. The narrative is enriched with vivid descriptions of the local landscape, flora, and fauna, as well as the customs and daily life of the indigenous people. Throughout the journey, Stephens reflects on the historical significance of the ruins and the urgency of preserving these sites from the ravages of time and nature. His work is accompanied by illustrations from Frederick Catherwood, which provide visual context to the detailed descriptions. The book serves as both a travelogue and an archaeological report, offering insights into the history and culture of the ancient Maya civilization.
