Inca Garcilaso de la Vega
Peruvian writer
He was born April 12, 1539 in Cuzco (Peru) in a noble family.
She was present at the first actions of the conquest of the Peru and the civil wars among the conquerors; He summed up that vision of the end of an era and the beginning of another, in a famous phrase: "Trocosenos reign in vassalage".
He travels to Spain in 1560, which claims the right to its name - among its illustrious ancestors poet Garcilaso de la Vega, Jorge Manrique and the Marquis of Santillana-, were what get and which proudly adds the name Inca, for which it is known. In 1561 he settles in Montilla, where it has the protection of paternal relatives, and some time later in Córdoba (1589), where he joined Spanish humanist circles and was devoted to the study and research that would allow writing his Chronicles.
Their links with the world of literature, began with the remarkable translation (1590) dialogues of love of León Hebreo, written in Italian. His first Chronicle, La Florida del Inca (1605), epic in prose, is the conquest of the peninsula of the same name (now part of the United States) by Hernando de Soto. As great maximum work highlight the actual comments. The first part (1609) narrates the story, culture and social institutions of the Inca Empire; and the second, which he called history general of the Peru (published posthumously in 1617), deals with the conquest of these lands and of the civil wars.
Garcilaso de la Vega died in Cordoba, Spain, on April 23, 1616.
