Download or read book The Conquest of Mexico written by Hugh Thomas and published by Harvill Press. This book was released on 2004-11 with total page 848 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hugh Thomas' account of the collapse of Montezuma's great Aztec empire under the onslaughts of Cort's' conquistadors is one of the great historical works of our times. A thrilling and sweeping narrative, it also bristles with moral and political issues. After setting out from Spain - against explicit instructions - in 1519, some 500 conquistadors destroyed their ships and fought their way towards the capital of the greatest empire of the New World. When they finally reached Tenochtitlan, the huge city on lake Texcoco, they were given a courtly welcome by Montezuma, who believed them to be gods. Their later abduction of the emperor, their withdrawl and the final destruction of the city make the Conquest one of the most enthralling and tragic episodes in world history.

Download or read book Chimalpahin s Conquest written by Susan Schroeder and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-19 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the story of Hernando Cortés's conquest of Mexico, as recounted by a contemporary Spanish historian and edited by Mexico's premier Nahua historian. Francisco López de Gómara's monumental Historia de las Indias y Conquista de México was published in 1552 to instant success. Despite being banned from the Americas by Prince Philip of Spain, La conquista fell into the hands of the seventeenth-century Nahua historian Chimalpahin, who took it upon himself to make a copy of the tome. As he copied, Chimalpahin rewrote large sections of La conquista, adding information about Emperor Moctezuma and other key indigenous people who participated in those first encounters. Chialpahin's Conquest is thus not only the first complete modern English translation of López de Gómara's La conquista, an invaluable source in itself of information about the conquest and native peoples; it also adds Chimalpahin's unique perspective of Nahua culture to what has traditionally been a very Hispanic portrayal of the conquest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La aparición de una nueva edición del libro de Prescott siempre es novedad bibliográfica por tratarse de una obra de presencia obligada en los anaqueles de la biblioteca de toda persona con gusto por la historia, y sigue siendo lectura sugerida para aquel lector en busca, sobre todo, de un libro legibilísimo, divertido y ágil, más que de una obra que cumpla con la doxografía científica contemporánea.

Download or read book Historia de la Conquista de M xico written by James Lockhart and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians are concerned today that the Spaniards' early accounts of their first experiences with the Indians in the Americas should be balanced with accounts from the Indian perspective. We People Here reflects that concern, bringing together important and revealing documents written in the Nahuatl language in sixteenth-century Mexico. James Lockhart's superior translation combines contemporary English with the most up-to-date, nuanced understanding of Nahuatl grammar and meaning. The foremost Nahuatl conquest account is Book Twelve of the Florentine Codex. In this monumental work, Fray Bernardino de Sahag�n commissioned Nahuas to collect and record in their own language accounts of the conquest of Mexico; he then added a parallel Spanish account that is part summary, part elaboration of the Nahuatl. Now, for the first time, the Nahuatl and Spanish texts are together in one volume with en face English translations and reproductions of the copious illustrations from the Codex. Also included are five other Nahua conquest texts. Lockhart's introduction discusses each one individually, placing the narratives in context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: V Centenario del inicio de la Conquista de México. 1519-2019 En el V Centenario de la llegada de Cortés a México es imprescindible volver sobre aquellos hechos que las crónicas antiguas nos han legado. Lo ocurrido desde 1519 hasta la caída del Imperio mexica constituye el primer avance continental hispano en el Nuevo Mundo. Estos acontecimientos se han prestado a diversas mitificaciones que presentan a los españoles como una suerte de superhombres de relucientes corazas, pero también como a una banda depredadora que acabó con un mundo arcádico. Iván Vélez, con gran agudeza y sentido crítico, analiza los complejos aspectos —bélicos, jurídicos, económicos y religiosos— que acompañaron a la conquista, pero también al orden político que la sucedió. Una historia cruda, emocionante y extraordinaria sobre una de las más grandes aventuras que el mundo ha visto.
