History of the Conquest of Peru

Привет, меня зовут Финн, и я помогу тебе понять эту книгу.

Вот она, объяснённая так, будто тебе 10 лет:

Горстка испанцев во главе с Франсиско Писарро сокрушила империю миллионов. Как? Прескотт рассказывает всю драматичную историю: богатый и упорядоченный мир инков, пленение их правителя, комнаты выкупа, наполненные золотом, а затем ожесточенные войны между самими завоевателями. Он пишет как романист, но работает с подлинными испанскими документами. Это грандиозная и захватывающая история, печальная в своей основе, потому что цивилизация гибнет.
