Bøger af Bartolome de las Casas

De las antiguas gentes del Perú es una compilación de capítulos de la Historia de las Indias, del padre Bartolomé de las Casas, confeccionada por Marcos Jiménez de la Espada. Esta edición recoge y organiza capítulos del Apéndice final de dicho libro.La cuidadosa selección de Jiménez de la Espada confiere un gran valor a esta edición si se quiere entender en un panorama la enorme complejidad del Imperio Inca. Acaso baste esta cita de las De las antiguas gentes del Perú para comprender la idea del buen gobierno de los Incas:Consideraba (...) la condición e inclinaciones de las gentes, y si entendía que eran orgullosos o inquietos, traía de otros pueblos, mayormente de los que tenía más conocidos y experimentados por fieles y obedientes, aprobados y leales, donde mandaba que morasen y usasen de sus oficios o ejercicios que en su naturaleza usaban, para que los de allí aprendiesen a vivir quietos, y para que, entendiendo quel rey los mandaba poner allí por esta causa, temiesen de hacer novedades, como quien tenía cabe si las espías y testigos que habían luego de avisar al señor, y por consiguiente, de causar en el pueblo inquietud se descuidasen.En todas las fronteras y límites de su imperio traía de los más esforzados y belicosos de su reino con sus mujeres y casas, mandándoles que allí poblasen y rompiesen las tierras para sus labranzas, dándoles privilegios y exenciones, para que con mejor gana lo aceptasen. Hacíales edificar fortalezas para su defensión y de los pueblos y provincias comarcanos; y esto principalmente se hacía en los confines de las gentes que vivían en las montañas, porque era gente indómita y que salían muchas veces a inquietar y dañar los pacíficos, haciendo saltos. Cuando sentía que algunas gentes de su imperio eran bulliciosas, sacábalos de aquella provincia y dábales tierras en otra parte donde no tuviesen ocasión de bullir o levantarse, cuidando siempre que el temple de la tierra donde los pasaba fuere al de la tierra que dejaban semejante.Bartolomé de las Casas

Los tratados de Bartolomé de las Casas son alegatos en favor de los indios. El más célebre de éstos, Brevísima relación de la destrucción de las Indias, no fue publicado hasta 1552. De las Casas se interesa por las condiciones de los habitantes autóctonos del Nuevo Mundo y describe sus maravillas.Así escribe, por ejemplo, sobre el tabaco:son unas hierbas secas metidas en una cierta hoja, seca también, a manera de mosquete hecho de papel, de los que hacen los muchachos la pascua del Espíritu Santo; y, encendida por la una parte dél, por la otra chupan o sorben o reciben con el resuello para adentro aquel humo, con el cual adormecen las carnes y casi emborrachan.Junto a pasajes como el anterior, con apasionadas descripciones del Nuevo Mundo, Bartolomé de las Casas reflexiona sobre la Conquista y sus secuelas.Desde entonces el genocidio fue la idea de referencia a la hora de pensar en la experiencia americana.Brevísima relación de la destrucción de las Indias sufrió en 1660 la condena del Tribunal de la Inquisición. Se le consideró un libro pernicioso para el justo prestigio nacional.El alegato de Bartolomé de las Casas cuestionó de manera incisiva y explícita los métodos, los procedimientos y las acciones violentas de la conquista española. Condenó también formas encubiertas de la esclavitud como las encomiendas. Denunció, además, el exterminio masivo de la población indígena, así como también alertó de los desastrosos efectos ecológicos sobre la naturaleza americana.

Este libro es un testimonio de lo ocurrido de verdad durante la conquista y de los horrores cometidos sobre los indios en nombre de la religión.

Fray Bartolomé de las Casas (Sevilla, 1474 - Madrid, 1566). Religioso español, defensor de los derechos de los indígenas en los inicios de la colonización de América. Tuvo una formación más bien autodidacta, orientada hacia la Teología, la Filosofía y el Derecho. Pasó a las Indias diez años después de su descubrimiento, en 1502; en La Española (Santo Domingo) se ordenó sacerdote en 1512 (fue el primero que lo hizo en el Nuevo Mundo) y un año después marchó como capellán en la expedición que conquistó Cuba. La Brevísima relación de la destrucción de las Indias es un libro publicado en 1552 en el que denunció el efecto que tuvo para los naturales la colonización de España del Nuevo Mundo. Añadimos a la presente edición la obra De las antiguas gentes del Perú, pues complementa a la perfección a la anterior y prologada por Marcos Jiménez de la Espada.

This Is A New Release Of The Original 1656 Edition.

Few people read the full account of De Las Casas. Frequently this piece is referenced in excerpts in anthologies. However, should the reader want an authentic and direct account of the real events of the Spaniards' treatment of native peoples of the Carribbean and elsewhere, this is the narrative. This can be read in one sitting, and is clearly the work of an informed and intelligent writer. Some extremity of language is apparent, and the author's bias can be seen on nearly every page. For history junkies, this is a wonderful read. Bartolomé de Las Casas, born in 1474, came to Cuba with Diego Velázquez's expedition in 1511 as a soldier. In Cuba, he became an "encomendero", receiving Indian labor parceled out to the conquistadors. The horrors of the conquest of the Caribbean sparked a religious conversion in him and he became a Dominican friar in 1515. Soon, he made his way to the Central American mainland, where he started missionary work among the Maya in Guatemala. Dubbed later "The Apostle to the Indians" for his work on their behalf, he was eventually appointed Bishop of Chiapas. An intimate friend of the Indians, fluent in their languages, Las Casas witnessed Spanish cruelties perpetrated against them between the very year of his arrival and some years before his death in Spain in 1566. In 1552, Las Casas published his empassioned "Short Account" (actually written 13 years earlier), in which he laid bare Spanish cruelties in America. Though generally condemned as slander in Spain, the book rapidly became popular in the rest of Europe, where it served to fuel anti-Spanish hate. Spain's enemies used it to depict Spaniards as evil tyrants and to rationalize carving out their own empires in the Americas. New editions appeared repeatedly, even as late as 1898, during the Spanish-American War. Few credible historians take the "Account" for gospel truth. Much of what Las Casas says is certainly true. And while the rest is exaggerated, it is not "propaganda". Whatever truth the narrative has, though, many people miss its importance in understanding the Spanish Black Legend. The Black Legend is the perception of Spain as a uniquely cruel and bigoted nation in excess of reality. Spanish culture is boiled down to the Inquisition and the bullfight. Spain's authors are ignored. The Spanish did nothing in the Americas but kill millions of Indians. This is the legacy of the 16th century. The substance of many European attitudes toward Spain up to about 1950 can be traced right to Las Casas' "Account." Appearing at the time when England and the Netherlands were emerging as major powers, grappling with Spain, the imagery from the book was woven right into their national mythologies. Because of historical circumstance, other nations that committed atrocities far worse than Spain's -- France, Britain, the United States -- never had to undergo the same humiliating scrutiny, the same alienation. Las Casas's book, certainly against its author's will, helped shape this. The account's real value is the key it offers to understanding Western perceptions of Spain. Like so many anti-Spanish documents of its time, the book, in the end, can tell us as much about the fascinating figure of its author and the character of Spain's enemies as about the horrors of the conquest and the nation it vilifies.

The Tears of the Indians is a historical account written by Bartolome De Las Casas in 1656. The book offers a true and detailed description of the cruel massacres and slaughters of over twenty million innocent people, specifically the indigenous population of the Americas, at the hands of the Spanish conquistadors. Las Casas, a Spanish historian and Dominican friar, was a witness to the atrocities committed against the native people during the early colonization of the Americas. He provides a first-hand account of the violence, brutality, and exploitation that the indigenous people suffered at the hands of the Spanish colonizers. The book is a powerful condemnation of the Spanish colonial system and the devastating impact it had on the native population. Las Casas argues that the Spanish conquest of the Americas was not a noble endeavor but rather a brutal and inhumane exploitation of an entire population. He also highlights the hypocrisy of the Spanish colonizers who claimed to be spreading Christianity and civilization while committing unspeakable acts of violence and cruelty. The Tears of the Indians is a significant historical document that sheds light on a dark period in the history of the Americas. It is a powerful reminder of the devastating impact of colonialism and the importance of acknowledging and learning from the past. The book remains relevant today as it raises important questions about the legacy of colonialism and the ongoing struggles faced by indigenous communities around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
