This fundamental work by Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, originally written in 1552, is the most striking testimony of the horrors and violence committed during the Spanish conquest of the New World. This edition presents the text adapted into modern Spanish for easier reading, while also including the original text for comparison.
Through a passionate and descriptive account, the author denounces the exploitation and systematic extermination of indigenous peoples, pleading for a radical change in colonial policies. It is an essential read for understanding the beginnings of colonialism, the 16th-century human rights debate, and the moral complexities that shaped the history of Latin America.
