The Narrative of Cabeza de Vaca

The Narrative of Cabeza de Vaca

This edition of Ãlvar NÃºÃ±ez Cabeza de Vacaâ€™s RelaciÃ³n offers readers Rolena Adorno and Patrick Charles Pautz's celebrated translation of Cabeza de Vacaâ€™s account of the 1527 PÃ¡nfilo de NarvÃ¡ez expedition to North America. The dramatic narrative tells the story of some of the first Europeans and the first-known African to encounter the North American wilderness and its Native inhabitants. It is a fascinating tale of survival against the highest odds, and it highlights Native Americans and their interactions with the newcomers in a manner seldom seen in writings of the period.
Â
In this English-language edition, reproduced from their award-winning three-volume set, Adorno and Pautz supplement the engrossing account with a general introduction that orients the reader to Cabeza de Vacaâ€™s world. They also provide explanatory notes, which resolve many of the narrativeâ€™s most perplexing questions. This highly readable translation fires the imagination and illuminates the enduring appeal of Cabeza de Vacaâ€™s experience for a modern audience.
