Product Description

""A Vanished Arcadia"" is a historical account of the Jesuit missions in Paraguay from 1607 to 1767, written by R. B. Cunninghame Graham. The book explores the unique and complex society that the Jesuits created in Paraguay, which was based on communal living and agriculture, and the impact that this had on the indigenous Guarani people. It also delves into the political and economic factors that led to the expulsion of the Jesuits from Paraguay by the Spanish Crown, and the subsequent decline of the missions. The author draws on a variety of sources, including Jesuit letters and reports, to provide a detailed and nuanced picture of life in the missions. ""A Vanished Arcadia"" is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of South America, the Jesuits, or the indigenous peoples of the region.1924. With a Map.
