This ruthless conquistador who toppled the Inca Empire came from humble origins. The illegitimate son of a soldier, Pizarro made his way to the New World to make his fortune. He took part in expeditions led by Alonso de Ojeda and Vasco Núñez de Balboa, before partnering up with Diego de Almagro and Hernando de Luque to lead an expedition of his own. The story of Pizarro’s strategically brilliant, if ethically problematic, conquest of the Inca will draw readers in, as will the tale of how infighting among Pizarro’s followers and those of Almagro led to Pizarro’s death.
Ñusta: the Inka love of Francisco Pizarro by Rafael Olivares Pdf
Dr. Rafael Olivares uses historical fiction to transcribe the recently found personal diary of Ñusta Yupanqui. The daughter and sister of Inkas, Ñusta was also the lover of Francisco Pizarro, the conqueror of Peru. Although she was an Inka princess and gave Pizarro the only children he ever had, the official history of the Spanish conquest ignores her. This novel suggests that, because she was in the middle of the struggle, the successes described in the diary could be the real history of the Spanish domination of the Inka Empire. Ñusta’s narrative not only presents the historical interpretation of the conquest as seen by the defeated but also reveals the existence of a treasure still hidden in the Andes Mountains. This Inka treasure is bigger than anything found until now.
Explores the life and exploits of Francisco Pizarro, who conquered the Inca Empire and with a combination of trickery, treachery, and brutality, went on to plunder the Inca's riches and exploit the people for his own gain.
Establishing Francisco Pizarro firmly as a man of his time, Stuart Stirling shows that there was little difference in moral terms between Elizabeth I's political expediency in ordering Mary Queen of Scots's execution and Pizarro's killing of the Inca Atahualpa - a deed for which his name has been regarded with infamy.
