Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca

Juan Francisco Maura

Esta historia posee la veracidad de alguien que ha vivido personalmente los hechos que narra, pero tambien tiene elementos novelescos. Por eso no se puede decir que sea un relato historico. Fue escrita para convencer a Carlos V de la importancia de la empresa realizada en el continente americano.

Naufragios

The erroneous idea that the -conquistadors- came to the New World without female company has been perpetuated even to our day. This book dispels this myth by demonstrating, through the use of texts and documents of the conquest, how crucial the presence of women was in the enterprise of the Americas. Women had never before had to overcome such physical difficulties as those encountered in this period of world history."
