Synopsis
Excerpt from Historiadores Primitivos de Indias, Vol. 1
Por el mismo tiempo dió a luz en Sevilla la primera parte de su Crónica del Perú Pedro Cieza de Leon, escritor poco conocido, pero tal vez el mas digno de atencion de cuantos han tratado del imperio de los Incas una residencia de veinte y tantos años en aquellas remotas regiones un conocimiento vasto de sus calidades, producciones y recursos; un estudio concienzudo de las cosas y los hombres de aquel país, le proporcionaron datos que casi puede asegurarse no ha po seido español ninguno de aquellos tiempos; y ciertamente si hubiese llegado a imprimir las tres partes completas de su obra dificil seria que compitiese ningun otro escritor con él ni en la co pia de noticias, ni en la suma de hechos importantes, ni en la exacta y completa descripcion de aquella tierra. Por desgracia solo se imprimió un volúmen que contiene esto último quedando el resto desconocido 6 extraviado; pero tal cual es, la obra de Cieza es la mejor pintura geográ fica, natural y lisica del Perú en aquellos tiempos y revela sucesos que la timidez 6 mala fe de otros historiadores ocultó al público. Esta obra se reimprimió en Amberes al año siguiente de 1555, y ha tenido la mala suerte de no volver a publicarse después echándola muy de menos los aficio nados á la lectura de las cosas del Nuevo - Mundo.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a collection of writings from the 16th century, provides a fascinating glimpse into the European discovery and conquest of the Americas. The author, a chaplain in the household of Hernán Cortà s, offers a firsthand account of the Spanish conquistadors' arrival in Mexico and their subsequent conquest of the Aztec Empire. Through the author's eyes, readers witness the clash of two vastly different cultures, the brutality of war, and the profound impact that European colonization had on the indigenous peoples of the Americas. The writings also shed light on the motivations and experiences of the conquistadors themselves, their dreams of glory and riches, and their role in shaping the course of history. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Americas, the age of exploration, and the complex legacy of European colonialism.
