Description

David Frye's skillful translation and abridgment of Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala's monumental First New Chronicle and Good Government (composed between 1600-1616) offers an unprecedented glimpse into pre-colonial Inca society and culture, the Spanish conquest of Peru (1532-1572), and life under the corrupt Spanish colonial administration.

An Introduction provides essential historical and cultural background and discusses the author's literary and linguistic innovations.

Maps, a glossary of terms, and seventy-five of Guaman Poma's ink drawings are also included.
