This work is an excellent way to bring back the memories of Colombia’s conquest to make them your own. By reading this work, you will access documents from those days. In these documents, the Spaniards – soldiers, settlers, officers, priests, or chroniclers- gave an account of what they saw or used to do at the time. These testimonies -historical chronics, official reports, letters, and even poems- provide readers with the main characters’ worldview. This work is full of enthusiastic narratives, full of distortions and prejudices on a dramatic and violent period, where indigenous peoples, whose version was also written by Spaniards, suffered a cruel war.
