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.

Deep Moisture Without the Greasy Feel
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Deep Moisture Without the Greasy Feel I’ve tried countless lotions over the years for my dry skin, and this Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair is one of the best. It has that classic Vaseline jelly component, but in a light lotion form that actually sinks in quickly instead of sitting on top of your skin. The first thing I noticed is how non-greasy it feels—you don’t get that sticky film that some heavy moisturizers leave behind. I can put this on in the morning and go about my day without leaving residue on my clothes or phone. The formula works fast. Within a couple of days, the dry patches on my arms and shins were noticeably softer, and by the end of the week my skin felt consistently smooth. It’s also truly unscented—no heavy perfumes, which makes it perfect for sensitive skin or for layering with a cologne or perfume. The fact that it carries the National Eczema Association seal of acceptance is reassuring too. The 20.3 oz bottles are generous, and the pack of three means I can keep one in the bathroom, one by the bed, and one in the guest room. That kind of convenience makes it easy to stick to daily use. A small note: because it’s a “healing” lotion, the texture is a little thicker than a lightweight daily moisturizer, but that’s exactly why it works so well. Just don’t expect it to be a thin, watery lotion—it’s more substantial. Bottom line: A rich but non-greasy lotion that heals dry, itchy, or sensitive skin quickly, and the value of the 3-pack makes it a smart buy for anyone who needs reliable daily moisture.

Excellant product..excellant pricing
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Another great product that I can now get from Amazon and not have to worry about "locating" in some store. Amazon's price is great for the sizing of the bottle, the product is absolutely non-greasy, very low in fragrance. I use it for an all-over body lotion and my skin stays soft.
