Item is an audio cassette containing a recording of a speech by Jean-Marie Le Clezio on the topic 'Sacred Cities (the Aztec)'. Note enclosed in cassette case: "One of France's leading novelists and essayists, Jean-Marie Le Clezio has been hailed as the literary successor to Camus. His first novel, 'The Interrogation', published in 1964 when he was 23, won the prestigious Renaudot Prize, and his subsequent novels and essays have received similar acclaim. His current work focuses on the catastrophic encounter between the simple, 'magical' civilization of the Aztecs and the brutal dynamism of Western civilization represented by the Spanish conquerors."
