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.
