Este libro, 'Florilegio histórico de las Indias', es una selección de escritos de Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo, que ofrece una visión de la historia natural y general de las Indias. La edición, a cargo de José M. Gómez-Tabanera, incluye una presentación biográfica del autor y extractos de sus obras más importantes, como la 'Historia Natural de las Indias' y la 'Historia General y Natural de las Indias'. El libro también aborda el debate entre Fernández de Oviedo y Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas sobre la colonización de América.
Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo y Valdés, commonly known as Oviedo, was a Spanish soldier, historian, writer, botanist and colonist. Oviedo participated in the Spanish colonization of the West Indies, arriving in the first few years after Christopher Columbus became the first European to arrive at the islands in 1492. Oviedo's chronicle Historia general de las Indias, published in 1535 to expand on his 1526 summary La Natural hystoria de las Indias, forms one of the few primary sources about it. Portions of the original text were widely read in the 16th century in Spanish, English, Italian and French editions, and introduced Europeans to the hammock, the pineapple, and tobacco as well as creating influential representations of the colonized peoples of the region.
