Los naufragios is a work written by Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, where he recounts his experiences and adventures during the Pánfilo de Narváez expedition to the Florida peninsula in 1527. This account is a historical document of great value, which narrates the feats, calamities, and dangers faced by the survivors of the expedition. In this edition, José María Merino has adapted the language to bring the work closer to a contemporary audience, without losing its original essence.
Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca was a Spanish explorer of the New World, and one of four survivors of the 1527 Narváez expedition. During eight years of traveling across what is today the Southwestern United States, he became a trader, evangelist, and faith healer to various Native American tribes before reconnecting with Spanish civilization in Mexico in 1536.
