Historia de las Indias (vol. 2 de 5)

A vivid, first‑hand account brings listeners into the bustling world of the early Caribbean, where the famed admiral returns from his second voyage to lay the foundations of a new settlement. The narrative follows his arrival in Santo Domingo, the establishment of La Isabela, and the daring explorations of nearby islands such as Cuba and Jamaica, all recounted with the detail of a contemporary chronicler.

Beyond the voyages, the work captures the tense encounters between the Spaniards and the island’s indigenous peoples—negotiations, clashes, and the uneasy balance of power that emerges. Interwoven with these events are the author’s reflective essays on geography, natural phenomena, and the myths that shaped European understanding of the New World. Listeners will experience a rich tapestry of adventure, politics, and early scientific curiosity that illuminates the complex beginnings of European presence in the Americas.
