Description

Bernal Diaz del Castillo (1495-1584) served under Cortes through the entire Mexican campaign, and his narrative is both an invaluable document and a spectacular epic.

Del Castillo saw Cortes sink his own ships (to prevent desertion) as soon as they landed on Mexican soil, and watched Montezuma become a prisoner in his own palace.

The immediacy of his voice as translated by renowned scholar A.P. Maudslay reaches across the centuries to invite readers to witness for themselves the horrors and wonders of the initial, apocalyptic clash between two great civilizations.

CONDITION: Hardcover, brown leather spine with gilt lettering on red; raised bands, mild tanning to page edges, very mild warp to boards, published 1928 The Mexico Press, Mexico City. Language - English, 596 pages including index, 15 illustrative plates
