El descubrimiento y conquista de América fueron acontecimientos cruciales de incalculables consecuencias, aun hoy en vías de resolución. La Historia de la conquista de Nueva España es una crónica portentosa y minuciosa de un testigo directo de aquella empresa descomunal. El brío excepcional del relato, el vigor de la prosa y su infatigable capacidad para evocar hombres, acciones y escenarios le conceden, sin lugar a dudas, un sitio de privilegio en la literatura española. El libro contiene tres grandes bloques temáticos: el descubrimiento de Yucatán por las expediciones de Francisco Hernández de Córdoba y Juan de Grijalva (1517-18); la epopeya propiamente dicha bajo los estandartes de Hernán Cortes (1519-21); y el viaje a Honduras, complementado con una extensa miscelánea de noticias sobre la Nueva España. Cada página es un dechado de prodigiosa intensidad, producto del talento narrativo de Bernal Diaz, de la energía de su estilo y del terrible verismo con que narra la aventura. Nada queda fuera de su crónica en esta edición concentrada en sus mejores capítulos, que se incluyen por entero: ni las vicisitudes y sucesos militares, ni la caracterización de los personajes más relevantes (Cortes, Moctezuma, etc.), ni los sentimientos y experiencias personales de un soldado empeñado en dar exacta y precisa cuenta de los avatares vividos en esa tierra desconocida. Pero quizás la grandeza de esta obra radique en el aliento épico que la anima. A diferencia de otros cronistas, a los que se enfrenta y critica, Bernal Diaz presenta la conquista de México como una empresa común, como la gesta de un colectivo de hombres cuyos aciertos y errores corresponden al pueblo español.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Vivid, powerful and absorbing, this is a first-person account of one of the most startling military episodes in history: the overthrow of Montezuma's doomed Aztec Empire by the ruthless Hernan Cortes and his band of adventurers. Bernal Díaz del Castillo, himself a soldier under Cortes, presents a fascinatingly detailed description of the Spanish landing in Mexico in 1520 and their amazement at the city, the exploitation of the natives for gold and other treasures, the expulsion and flight of the Spaniards, their regrouping and eventual capture of the Aztec capital.

Still the very best
this product is so good that it is enough to take the 'wrinkles' out of any alligator. During my times spent in Africa(23 years) this product helped sustain and maintain the texture and the quality of my skin. I will deeply recommend this product ANY DAY, ANY TIME, AND ANYWHERE.

Great Lotion, ridiculous price. Get it cheaper somewhere else.
The lotion is amazing! Been using it since I was a little girl back in Ivory Coast, the country it originates from!!! The only thing I have an issue with somehow is the price. $13 is just too damn expensive when you can get it cheaper at house of beauty world. (Website) But then again, mine comes directly from Ivory Coast when I have family that happens to be traveling back home.

Potential Buyers Be Fore-warned
Some how, my 1st review with photos & details of why I WAS rating 3 stars did not get posted. Cannot include those images that showed the condition that I found this product after I opened the shipping material. I found the exterior of the container covered with the cream & more cream was oozed out all around the bottom edge of the lid. I had to take a paper towel & wipe the excess cream product from the exterior of the container, in order to open the jar. When I did, there was more cream smeared all over the foil that was supposed to be sealed, & the grab tab to remove the foil was crimpled up off the rim of the jar with more cream oozed out all over the jar threads (for turning the lid to close the jar shut). I don't know when all of that happened to this item, & I wondered about the integrity & safety of the cream product having received it opened & appearing to have been very much compromised.
The only reason that I took the time required to clean this product off was that at least it looked, felt, & smelled like the cream product that I have used before.
