A Beggar in Paradise: Living with the Inca Indians by Chris Conroy

The amazing true story of an Irishman who spent an eventful fifteen years living with the Inca Indians in the mountains of Peru. A fascinating journey into one of the most ancient and extraordinary civilisations in the world. Humorous, tragic, romantic and earthy – as told by a gifted storyteller with a wonderful sense of humour.

Chris Conroy was born in 1932 and became a Carmelite in 1959. He volunteered, in 1979, to live with the Inca Indians in Peru, where he worked for fifteen years.
