Gonzalo Fern ndez de Oviedo y Vald z's General and Natural History of the Indies (1535) provides a different account of the same journey, while sequels can be found in a 1539 letter from the Viceroy of New Spain to the Emperor and in Fray Marcos de Niza's Relaci n on the Discovery of the Kingdom of Cibola (1539).The Spanish explorers, soldiers, and missionaries of the period saw the New World as a place of enchantment, riches, and opportunity.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Si bien las primeras expediciones a la Florida desde su descubrimiento en 1512 tuvieron en común su fracaso final, el intento de Pánfilo de Narváez en 1527 ha pasado a la posteridad como máximo ejemplo de insensatez e improvisación. Felizmente, tal catástrofe nos dejó el documento excepcional en que Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca relató sus desventuras, desde la dispersión de las naves y el cautiverio de sus tripulantes, hasta su posterior liberación y la penosa peregrinación durante años por las tierras del actual sur de Estados Unidos. Si "Naufragios" posee un inestimable valor etnográfico por sus descripciones de pueblos y costumbres, la crónica alcanza tonos épicos en su narración de hazañas, calamidades y peligros, siendo la experiencia de su autor, como concluye Trinidad Barrera, un verdadero «descenso a los infiernos que sólo una naturaleza superior podía resistir». *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
