The Conquest of New Spain - Book by Bernal Díaz
Bernal Díaz, a foot soldier in Hernán Cortés’s expedition, provides a firsthand account of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire. His detailed narrative chronicles the dramatic encounters with Indigenous peoples, the siege of Tenochtitlán, and the challenges faced by the conquistadors. Unlike official histories, Díaz’s work captures the perspectives of common soldiers, blending admiration for Cortés with reflections on the brutality of conquest.Original Language: Spanish
