Reviews

"[A] welcome re-issue of Anthony Pagden’s fine translation of Cortés’ Cartas De Relacion. . . . This edition is a model of how to present a sometimes difficult text to an English-speaking readership."—B.W. Ife, Times Higher Education Supplement


"[The] definitive translation. . . . It adds up to one of the most fascinating Machiavellian documents to come out of the Renaissance."—Carlos Fuentes, The Guardian


"The definitive edition [of the letters] in any language. . . . The book is a 'must' for all those who are seriously interested in this traumatic clash of civilisations and the consequences, both for good and ill, which ensued."—C.R. Boxer, English Historical Review


"Ensures that the achievements and controversies of Hernan Cortés will have a source and a guide worthy of these extraordinary events."—John Lynch, Journal of Latin American Studies
