Summary "Verdadera historia de los sucesos de la conquista de la Nueva-España" by Bernal Díaz del Castillo is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book provides a firsthand narrative of the events surrounding the Spanish conquest of what is now Mexico, capturing the experiences of the soldiers involved, particularly focusing on the figure of the author himself, Bernal Díaz, who served under Hernán Cortés. The narrative aims to offer a detailed and authentic perspective on the conquests and the interactions between the Spanish soldiers and the indigenous peoples. At the start of the text, the author introduces himself and recounts his journey from Castilla to the New World, highlighting the early challenges he faced, including disease and conflicts among his comrades. Díaz describes his participation in various expeditions, leading to the decision to join Hernán Cortés on his mission to explore and conquer new lands. The opening portion of the book includes details about the preparation for expeditions, encounters with indigenous groups, and the harsh realities of life as a soldier during this tumultuous time. The groundwork is laid for a vivid retelling of the early days of the Spanish conquest, filled with danger, intrigue, and the struggle for resources in a foreign land.
