Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This epic poem tells of the conflict that arose as Spanish conquistadors attempted to colonize the coastal regions of central and southern Chile in the 16th century. The text is divided into cantos, each of which tells of a different battle, siege, negotiation, or exploration. A mixed record of tragedy and heroism, the book stands as a testament to the savage nature of the conflict with detailed scenes of battle and skirmishes that bring to life the reality of life and death struggles between these two distinct cultures. The detailed descriptions of the landscape and the customs of the native peoples provide an invaluable historical record of this period. There are fantastical elements to this poetic text too, which the author uses to explore themes of fate, destiny, heroism, civilization, freedom and the ethics of conquest. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
