Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book presents a historical look at the life in Chile during the 17th century. It contains a rich ethnographic survey of the social conditions and religious conflicts of the period. While this book is a valuable resource for scholars of ecclesiastical history, it is also a compelling narrative of adventure for lay readers. The author, Father Alonso de Ovalle, was a Jesuit missionary who arrived in Chile as a young priest. He began work as a missionary to the indigenous Mapuche people. In this book, he reveals the tension between the Mapuche and Spanish settlers, who encroached on Mapuche lands, precipitating the Arauco War. The author himself was present during some of these conflicts. His work demonstrates his passionate love of the area, its landscape, and peoples. This book is a significant contribution to the historical record of Spanish colonialism and of the military and political conflicts of the age of European colonialism.
