Focusing on certain key firsthand narratives of the discovery, exploration, and conquest of the New World, the author views various journals, letters, and other documents not merely as narratives of facts and events but as literary expressions of the dynamics of the writer's experience.

"Of all the books inspired by the Columbian quincentenary, this is easily one of the most challenging. Bodmer uses early Spanish chronicles to take the reader on a journey of exploration. . . . A richly detailed analytical history of the gradual awakening of a critical consciousness concerning accepted versions of the discovery and conquest of America."--Canadian Journal of History
"A quite splendid book."--Journal of Latin American Studies
