The Conquest of New Spain by Bernal Diaz del Castillo Pdf

Vivid, powerful and absorbing, this is a first-person account of one of the most startling military episodes in history: the overthrow of Montezuma's doomed Aztec Empire by the ruthless Hernan Cortes and his band of adventurers. Bernal Díaz del Castillo, himself a soldier under Cortes, presents a fascinatingly detailed description of the Spanish landing in Mexico in 1520 and their amazement at the city, the exploitation of the natives for gold and other treasures, the expulsion and flight of the Spaniards, their regrouping and eventual capture of the Aztec capital.

The Memoirs of the Conquistador Bernal Diaz Del Castillo, Vol. 1 of 2 by Bernal Díaz del Castillo Pdf

Excerpt from The Memoirs of the Conquistador Bernal Diaz Del Castillo, Vol. 1 of 2: Written by Himself Containing a True and Full Account of the Discovery and Conquest of Mexico and New Spain The History of the Conquest of New Spain is a subject in which great interest is felt at the present day, and the English public will hail these memoirs, which contain the only true and complete account of that important transaction. The author of this original and charming production, to which he justly gives the title of The True History of the Conquest of New Spain, ' was himself one of the Conquistadores; one who not only witnessed the transactions which he relates, but who also performed a glorious part in them; a soldier who, for im partiality and veracity, perhaps never had his equal. His ac count is acknowledged to be the only one on which we can place reliance, and it has been the magazine from which the most' eloquent of the Spanish writers on the same subject, as well as those of other countries, have borrowed their best materials. Some historians have even transcribed whole pages, but have not had sufficient honesty to acknowledge it.

Bernal Diaz Del Castillo by R. B. Cunninghame Graham Pdf

Excerpt from Bernal Diaz Del Castillo: Being Some Account of Him, Taken From His True History of the Conquest of New Spain Thus after four hundred years the manuscript so long preserved in Guatemala has been given to the world, just as it came forth from the brain of the old conqueror. In this, my little sketch, I am not much concerned with this or that edition; but chie y with the man. What I discern in him is steadfastness, sincerity, and in the main an absence of the gross superstitions that in his time blinded so many of his contemporaries, though he was ardent in his faith. His style is nervous, and though occasionally involved, remains after so many hundred years a well of pure Castilian, into which when you let down a bucket, it comes up, filled with good water, still sparkling, after the lapse of time. Diaz had, as it were, a foot both in the camps of literature and arms. One was his natural place, the other he made for himself and filled it worthily. To be a conqueror and an historian at the same time falls to the lot of few. Most conquerors (with some notable exceptions) have not been men of words.

The True History of The Conquest of New Spain by Bernal Diaz del Castillo Pdf

This rugged new translation--the first entirely new English translation in half a century and the only one based on the most recent critical edition of the Guatemalan MS--allows Diaz to recount, in his own battle-weary and often cynical voice, the achievements, stratagems, and frequent cruelty of Hernando Cortes and his men as they set out to overthrow Moctezuma's Aztec kingdom and establish a Spanish empire in the New World. The concise contextual introduction to this volume 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 those terms, names, and cultural references in Diaz's text that may be unfamiliar to modern readers. A chronology of the Conquest is included, as are a guide to major figures, a select bibliography, and three maps.
