This historical text provides an account of the Inca civilization and the arrival of the Spanish in Peru. Written in the nineteenth century, it reflects the academic style of that era. You will encounter complex sentence structures and specialized vocabulary related to colonial history and indigenous governance. The text is demanding due to its formal tone and dense, descriptive prose. It is a useful resource for those interested in historical narratives and the challenges of interpreting early chronicles of the Andean region.

Questions about this book
What level of Spanish do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 3 h 21 min at a native pace, spread over 3 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
