Description

Originally titled Historia Verdadera de la Conquista de la Nueva Espa�a (The True History of the Conquest of New Spain), this first-person narrative by the military adventurer, conquistador, and settler Bernal D�az del Castillo (1492-1584) recounts the fall of Aztec Emperor Moctezuma II, the defeat of the Aztec Empire, and his participation in the Spanish military campaigns that brought them about. D�az served in three Mesoamerican expeditions, that of Francisco Hern�ndez de C�rdoba to the Yucat�n peninsula (1517); that of Juan de Grijalva (1518), and finally the expedition of Hern�n Cort�s (1519) in the Valley of Mexico. Amongst chroniclers, D�az was most celebrated as Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) was amongst novelists.
