Description
by Carlos Prince (Editor)
Lima Antigua is a historical book written by Carlos Prince and first published in 1890. The book provides a detailed account of the ancient city of Lima, Peru, from its founding in 1535 by Francisco Pizarro to the early 19th century. The author delves into the city's rich history, culture, architecture, and social life, highlighting significant events and personalities that shaped Lima's development over the centuries.Prince's work is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of Lima's past. He begins with a brief overview of the city's founding and early years, before moving on to explore its colonial period, during which Lima became the capital of the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru. The author describes the city's magnificent architecture, including its grand churches, monasteries, and palaces, as well as its bustling markets, lively festivals, and vibrant cultural scene.Throughout the book, Prince also examines the social and economic realities of life in Lima, including the roles of indigenous peoples, African slaves, and European settlers in shaping the city's culture and economy. He also explores the impact of various historical events on Lima, such as the earthquake of 1746, which destroyed much of the city and forced its inhabitants to rebuild.Lima Antigua is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Peru and Latin America. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of one of the region's most important cities, and sheds light on the complex interplay of social, economic, and political forces that have shaped Lima's past and present.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
