Abstract


In his Peruvian Traditions Ricardo Palma gave visible form to an image of the society, habits and most representative figures of the Peruvian history, focusing on the priviledged group integrated by the Viceroyalty's nobility. Mirroring the colonial heritage of the 19th Century, Palma represents an exceptional bridge towards the popular imaginario of the Ancient Regime. Although nonvoluntary errors or even distortions may have tainted his reconstruction of the facts, the «Traditions» put forward a mental universe which helps us to understand the experiences and human conditions of the past.
