History of the Conquest of Peru

"History of the Conquest of Peru - With a Preliminary View of the Civilisation of the Incas" is an unaltered, high-quality reissue of the original edition from 1885. This scholarly book offers a comprehensive analysis of the conquest of Peru and sheds light on the civilization of the Incas. The author, William Hickling Prescott, is regarded as one of the most significant historians of the 19th century, whose works are still valued today. The publication by Hansebooks aims to preserve and make historical literature accessible, particularly works that are now only available as antiques. By reissuing these important texts, not only is historical knowledge preserved, but it also provides the opportunity to engage with the history and culture of the Incas. This edition is especially valuable for students and those interested in history and archaeology who seek a deeper understanding of the complex events and cultural backgrounds of the conquest of Peru.
