The True History of The Conquest of New Spain by Bernal Diaz del Castillo
Bernal Diaz del Castillo
Experience the conquest of the Aztec kingdom through the eyes of Bernal Diaz del Castillo in this new translation of "The True History of the Conquest of New Spain." This edition is the first entirely new English translation in half a century and is based on the most recent critical edition of the Guatemalan MS. Recount in his own voice the achievements, stratagems, and frequent cruelty of Hernando Cortes and his men as they established a Spanish empire in the New World. The book includes a concise contextual introduction that traces the origins, history, and methods of the Spanish enterprise in the Americas. It also discusses the nature of the conflict between the Spanish and the Aztecs in Mexico, and compares Diaz's version of events to those of other contemporary chroniclers. Editorial glosses summarize omitted portions, and substantial footnotes explain terms, names, and cultural references unfamiliar to modern readers. A chronology of the Conquest, a guide to major figures, a select bibliography, and three maps are also included.
