Sinopsis:
Perhaps the most amazing thing of all about Garcilaso de la Vega's epic account of the De Soto expedition is the fact that, although it is easily the first great classic of American history, it had never before received a complete or otherwise adequate English translation in the 346 years which have elapsed since its publication in Spanish. Now the Inca's thrilling narrative comes into its own in the English speaking world.
Hernando de Soto's expedition for the conquest of North America was the most ambitious ever to brave the perils of the New World. Garcilaso tells in remarkably rich detail of the conquistadors' wanderings over half a continent, of the unbelievable vicissitudes which beset them, of the Indians whom they sought to win for King and Church and by whose hands most of them died, of De Soto's death, and of the final pitiful failure of the expedition.
Acerca del autor: Garcilaso de la Vega (1539–1616) wrote numerous works of history and poetry.

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. THE FLORIDA OF THE INCA, Garcilaso De La Vega, translated by John Varner and Jeannette Varner, softcover, stated second paperback printing, 1988. ITEM CONDITION: very good. The text block is in fine condition, with no tears, dogears, or marks. No bookplate or signature of a prior owner. Not a library item, but the bottom edge is stamped "Damaged Books" (apparently because of the sun-fading on the spine and a portion of the front cover near the spine, as well as a rubbed back cover). 9 x 6, 655 pages, 33 ounces XX [From the back cover] Although Garcilaso de la Vega's epic account of the De Soto expedition has been rightly called the first great classic of American history, three and a half centuries elapsed after its first publication in Spanish before it was finally made available to the English-speaking world in 1951 in this splendid translation by John and Jeannette Varner. THE FLORIDA OF THE INCA received instant acclaim. It commanded the front cover of the Saturday Review of Literature, was selected by the History Book Club, went quickly into a British edition, and received unstinted applause from notable reviewers. Hernando de Soto's expedition for the conquest of North America was the most ambitious ever to brave the perils of the New World. Garcilaso tells in remarkably rich detail of the conquistadors' wanderings over half a continent, of the unbelievable vicissitudes that beset them, of the Indians whom they sought to win for King and Church and by whose hands most of them died, of De Soto's death, and of the final pitiful failure of the enterprise. XX Garcilaso's FLORIDA is one of the great examples of historical writing in any language. The Varners' translation is uniformly good, at times brilliant. They have put both the words and the syntax into modern English without destroying the accuracy of the translation. They have been alive to the little nuances: for example, of the Indian prince occasionally looking down his nose at the Spanish cavalier. And where the narrative needs precise and literal translation, it is there. This is a translation which will stand for our lifetime, possibly for all time (John Cook Wyllie, curator of Rare Books of the AIderman Library, the University of Virginia). XX This author, Garcilaso de la Vega, is not the famous poet of Spain, but a man more commonly called Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, son of a Spanish conquistador and an Inca noblewoman in Peru. The title given to his account of Hernando de Soto's exploration of what is now Florida in the United States should not include the misleading word Inca. XX [Wikipedia] De la Vega's first work was LA FLORIDA DEL INCA, an account of Hernando de Soto's expedition and journey in Florida. The work was published in Lisbon in 1605 and became popular. It describes the expedition according to its own records and information Garcilaso gathered during the years. He defended the legitimacy of imposing the Spanish sovereignty in conquered territories and submitting them to Catholic jurisdiction. At the same time, he expresses and defends the dignity, the courage, and the rationality of the Native Americans. It was translated and published in English in 1951. Nº de ref. del artículo: 003097
