Produktbeschreibung
A vivid doorway into the sixteenth century, Las Casas opens a window on the New World Latin America and the enduring questions of power, faith, and justice. A compelling historical biography, it traces Bartolomé de las Casas through the Spanish colonial era with clarity, empathy, and moral rigour. This edition frames a masterful Spanish colonial biography as a living conversation about indigenous rights advocacy, christian missionary work, and critique of empire. Written for history students and general readers alike, it blends lucid storytelling with scholarly insight, turning complex debates about empire, religion, and humanity into an accessible, resonant narrative. The work stands as both a historical document and a human portrait, inviting readers to weigh colonial motives, humanitarian ideals, and the legacies that still shape the modern world. A note on literary and historical significance: the book contributes to the canon of early modern biography while highlighting the moral urgency of colonial critique. For casual readers and classic-literature collectors, this is a tangible link to a pivotal era and a vivid reminder of how biography can illuminate collective memory. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, complete with the original scope and fresh clarity for new scholarship. This is a complete collection, now illustrated, and a essential reference for anyone exploring the sixteenth century, the new world, and the enduring dialogue between faith and justice.
