An analysis of „Aves sin Nido”

“I repeat that I submit my work to the judgement of the reader with the hope that he will be inspired to improve the condition of the small villages of Peru; and, even though it may evoke nothing more than simple consideration, the author of these pages will have attained her goal by awakening people to the fact that in the country there are brothers who suffer, exploited in the night of ignorance and persecuted in darkest ignorance which begs for light; and by signaling points of no small importance for national progress; while at the same time creating Peruvian literature.” Clorinda Matto de Turner “Preface” toAves sin Nido, an excerpt.
