  Peruvian literature has kept numerous quechua texts. From the Inca time, Ollantay, a drama at the Inca court, is perhaps the best-known work of Quechua literature. An unknown author composed it around 1470. Peruvian literature has its roots in the oral traditions of pre-Colombian Los Comentarios Reales de los Incas, published in 1609. After independence, Costumbrism and Romanticism became the most common literary genres, as exemplified in the works of Ricardo Palma. In the early 20th century, the Indigenismo movement produced such writers as Ciro Alegria, José Maria Arguedas, and César Vallejo. José Carlos Mariátegui’s essays in the 1920’s were a turning point in the political and economic analysis of Peruvian history. During the second half of the century, Peruvian literature became more widely known because of authors such as Mario Vargas Llosa, a leading member of the Latin American Boom.

The majority of these languages are  Indigenous , but the most common language is Spanish, the main language that about 94.4% of the population speaks. Spanish is followed by the country's Indigenous languages, especially all types of  Quechua  (11.1% combined) and  Aymara  (1.4%), [2]  who also have co-official status according to Article 48 of the  Constitution of Peru , [3]  as well as the languages of the  Amazon  and the  Peruv...

 History: The  history of  Peru  spans 10 millennia, extending back through several stages of cultural  development along the country's desert coastline and in the  Andes  mountains.  Peru's coast was home to the  Norte Chico civilization , the oldest civilization in the  Americas  and one of the six  cradles of civilization  in the world. When the Spanish arrived in the sixteenth century, Peru was the homeland of the highland  Inca Empire , the largest and most advanced state in  pre-Columbian America. After the conquest of the Incas, the  Spanish Empire established a  Viceroyalty  with jurisdiction over most of its  South American  domains. Peru declared  independence  from Spain in 1821, but achieved independence only after the  Battle of Ayacucho  three years later
