Summary: "History of the Incas" by Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa is a historical account written in the late 16th century. The book focuses on the civilization of the Incas, delving into their origins, governance, and the societal structures that defined their empire. It is a pivotal work that captures the history and mythos of the Incas, providing insights into their achievements and the events leading to their downfall. The opening of the text sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Incan history, beginning with the dedicatory letter to King Philip II of Spain and an introduction by Sir Clements Markham, who translated and edited the work. Sarmiento outlines his intent to document the lineage of the Inca rulers, particularly their tyrannical rule and the broader cultural context within which they operated. He asserts the significance of his work as a reliable historical source, drawing upon testimony from Incan descendants and contemporaries. Sarmiento aims to unveil the complexity of Incan society, juxtaposed with the challenges they faced during Spanish colonization, providing a rich narrative that combines historical facts and native perspectives.
