This volume contains selections from William Hickling Prescott’s monumental histories: 'Ferdinand and Isabella,' 'The Conquest of Mexico,' and 'The Conquest of Peru.' Prescott, a master of narrative history, brings to life the dramatic events and complex personalities of these pivotal periods. Readers will encounter the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, whose reign saw the unification of Spain and the sponsorship of Columbus’s voyages. Prescott vividly recounts the Spanish conquest of the Aztec and Inca empires, detailing the clash of cultures, the strategies of the conquistadors, and the tragic fates of Montezuma and Atahualpa. Prescott’s work is valued for its meticulous research, engaging prose, and balanced judgments. These selections offer a compelling introduction to Prescott’s historical vision and the enduring significance of these events.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
