"This abridgment of Harold V. Livemore's classic translation is the only edition in any language to represent both halves of Garcilaso's historical narrative in one volume. Karen Spalding's new introduction and notes set Garcilaso in his intellectual, historical, and cultural contexts."--BOOK JACKET
