Incompatible civilisations The conquest of the Incas review
John Hemming's Macmillan volume weighs over three pounds and expands the Inca story beyond 1524 to 1572. The reviewer notes Hemming's access to Peru documents, his broader scope than Prescott, and his final conquest through Toledo. The book purportedly settles Wilcabamba's location with new document study.

The Sleepers Den and Over Gardens Review Collapse
A sharp critique denounces the plays The Sleepers Den and Over Gardens by Peter Gill. It questions neo realistic slice-of-life drama and its sentimental aims, arguing that the works reveal only unremarkable, ungrammatical characters. The reviewer condemns the lack of true dramatic conflict and notes uneasy depictions of violence and moral ambiguity without meaningful resolution. The piece also contrasts other cultural themes, including linguistic diversity in the Inca Empire, arguing for a more honest, conflict-driven drama and critiquing misapplied psychoanalytic insight.
