La Historia de las Indias de Bartolomé de las Casas relata tres de los viajes de Colón a la Indias, así como otras expediciones de descubrimiento y conquista. Aunque Las Casas admiraba a los descubridores, no elude la responsabilidad de estos en la destrucción del Nuevo Mundo. Su rigor histórico resulta tan notable como su sensibilidad humana.El lector advertirá aquí la obra de un hombre que, además de ser parte y testigo de la Conquista, procuró ser un cristiano consecuente. Por ello consagró una parte importante de su vida y su capacidad intelectual a la defensa de los derechos de los indios.Las Casas fue con Cristóbal Colón en el segundo viaje a América. Llegó a la Isla de La Española en 1502 y, aunque se estableció allí como colono y encomendero. En 1511 un sermón de fray Antonio de Montesinos le hizo cambiar de vida: en 1515 se incorporó a la orden de los dominicos. Desde entonces, se convirtió en el primer y más feroz crítico del colonialismo español.En 1542 escribió Brevísima relación de la destrucción de las Indias. En ella denunció la esclavitud a que se sometía a los indios. Puso, además, en evidencia que la evangelización de los colonos se había convertido en un genocidio. Más tarde, entre 1552 y 1561, escribiría esta Historia de las Indias.La presente selección, basada en la edición de Aguilar, reúne diversos capítulos del texto original. Los cinco tomos de la Historia de las Indias están también disponibles en esta colección.

Bartolomé de las Casas (11 November 1484 - 18 July 1566) was a 16th-century Spanish landowner, friar, priest, and bishop, famed as a historian and social reformer. He arrived in Hispaniola as a layman then became a Dominican friar and priest. He was appointed as the first resident Bishop of Chiapas, and the first officially appointed "Protector of the Indians". His extensive writings, the most famous being A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies and Historia de Las Indias, chronicle the first decades of colonization of the West Indies. He described the atrocities committed by the colonizers against the indigenous peoples.

Written in 1542 and first published in 1552, "A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies" by Bartolome de Las Casas, a Dominican friar, is a moving and shocking account of the atrocities and mistreatment suffered by the indigenous people of South America under Spanish colonial rule. Bartolome de Las Casas, believed to have been born in 1484, immigrated to the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean from Spain in 1502 with his father and was ordained as a priest in 1510. His work with the Church gave him a startling glimpse into the cruelty and inhumanity that the native peoples were subjected to by the powerful Spaniards. Bartolome de Las Casas was determined to advocate for these oppressed people and traveled back and forth between Spain and the New World several times to bring the plight of the indigenous peoples to the attention of the King. Bartolome de Las Casas documented the ravages of the disease and greed the Spanish brought with them across the sea. "A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies" is an important and remarkable work, as well as the earliest documentation of a concerted effort to advocate for better and more humane treatment of the native people of the New World. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Bartolomé's eye-opening account of Spanish colonialism in the early to mid-16th century has for centuries been a pivotal source on the topic.Following the discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus in 1497, a great interest in the new and virgin lands was sparked in Europe. Spain, eager to capitalise on the great resources and wealth present, sent successive fleets of vessels to the Caribbean to set up colonial outposts as footholds in the new continent. Despite being small in number, the Spanish colonists had superior arms and were able to forcibly subdue the native populations. Murder, rape and other atrocities were commonplace in the process, with many natives afterwards becoming enslaved. While wealth was amassed, the moral depravity involved would appal the socially conscious at home.For his part, Las Casas would assume place as a dogged defender of West Indian peoples, putting pressure on the Spanish court to enact laws protecting native welfare.

Basta esta cita de De las antiguas gentes del Peru para comprender la idea del "e;buen gobierno"e; de los Incas descrita por Bartolome de las Casas:Consideraba en esta visita de la tierra, si se poda hacer alguna semilla o rboles y frutales que no fructificaban, o no tanto, en otras partes, y era necesaria, y traa de otra tierra hombres que la supiesen sembrar y cultivar y a los naturales de all lo enseasen; a los cuales mandaba galardonar y repartir tierras y solares para sus casas y heredades. Consideraba asimismo la condicin e inclinaciones de las gentes, y si entenda que eran orgullosos o inquietos, traa de otros pueblos, mayormente de los que tena ms 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 all aprendiesen a vivir quietos, y para que, entendiendo que el rey los mandaba poner all por esta causa, temiesen de hacer novedades, como quien tena cabe si las espas y testigos que haban luego de avisar al seor, y por consiguiente, de causar en el pueblo inquietud se descuidasen.
