The author, \u003cb\u003eAlvar Nonez Cabeza de Vaca\u003c\/b\u003e, was a fortune-seeking Spanish nobleman and the treasurer of an expedition sent to claim for Spain a vast area of today's southern United States. In simple, straightforward prose, Cabeza de Vaca chronicles the nine-year odyssey endured by the men after a shipwreck forced them to make a westward journey on foot from present-day Florida through Louisiana and Texas into California. In thirty-eight brief chapters, Cabeza de Vaca describes the scores of natural and human obstacles they encountered as they made their way across an unknown land. Cabeza de Vaca's gripping account offers a trove of ethnographic information, including descriptions and interpretations of native cultures, making it a powerful precursor to modern anthropology.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Panfilo de Narvaez set sail in 1527 to conquer and settle present day Florida. Setting out with a crew of approximately 600 members ultimately only four members would survive the ill-fated expedition. The journey would take these four survivors from Spain to Hispaniola and Cuba and then onto Florida. Sailing through a hurricane and other storms the expedition would finally land near Tampa Bay. Suffering from Indian attacks and the effects of poor food and disease the crew, of which there was now only eighty, decided to sail from Florida to Mexico. In 1536, the four survivors-Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, Alonso del Castillo Maldonado, Andres Dorantes de Carranza, and his enslaved Moor Estevanico-finally managed to rejoin Spanish countrymen in present-day Mexico City. Upon returning to Spain Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca would receive considerable notoriety for his published account of the ordeal.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50381863682321,"sku":"CIN142094844XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51204672389393,"sku":"NIN9781420948448","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/142094844X.jpg?v=1751178178"},{"product_id":"naufragios-book-alvar-nunez-cabeza-de-vaca-9781539655763","title":"Naufragios","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51035784380689,"sku":"NIN9781539655763","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1539655768.jpg?v=1750990212"},{"product_id":"naufragios-book-alvar-nunez-cabeza-de-vaca-9781456592738","title":"Naufragios","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51175373406481,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51175375110417,"sku":"NIN9781456592738","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1456592734.jpg?v=1751404755"},{"product_id":"journey-of-alvar-nunez-cabeza-de-vaca-book-alvar-nunez-cabeza-de-vaca-9781437095814","title":"The Journey Of Alvar Nunez Cabeza De Vaca","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51642910998801,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51642911195409,"sku":"NIN9781437095814","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/143709581X.jpg?v=1751210217"},{"product_id":"relation-of-alvar-nunez-cabeca-de-vaca-book-alvar-nunez-cabeza-de-vaca-9781275799967","title":"Relation of Alvar Nunez Cabeca de Vaca","description":"\u003cbr\u003e Title: Relation of Alvar Nunez Cabeca de Vaca: translated from the Spanish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, Alvar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Gale, Sabin Americana \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDescription: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on Joseph Sabin's famed bibliography, Bibliotheca Americana, Sabin Americana, 1500--1926 contains a collection of books, pamphlets, serials and other works about the Americas, from the time of their discovery to the early 1900s.
