Revered by some as a wisewoman but rebuked by others as a witch, Ultima has now come back to stay with Tony's family in New Mexico. As Tony seeks out his destiny--torn between his mother's farming forebears and his father's wandering \u003ci\u003evaquero\u003c\/i\u003e roots, between Spanish Catholicism and the gods of his indigenous ancestors--Ultima's loving tutelage will help him navigate questions of life and death, good and evil, and reveal to him the vastness of the heritage that shapes him, in this pioneering work of literature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePenguin Vitae--loosely translated as \"Penguin of one's life\"--is a deluxe hardcover series from Penguin Classics celebrating a dynamic and diverse landscape of classic fiction and nonfiction from seventy-five years of classics publishing.
