William H. Prescott
Although he never visited Mexico or Peru, his works The Conquest of Mexico and The Conquest of Peru awakened the curiosity of the English-speaking world about the Mexica and Inca civilizations and the processes of conquest. What is extraordinary is that, despite having partially lost his sight, Prescott devoted himself with almost heroic discipline to reviewing chronicles in Spanish, letters from conquistadors, and original documents, in order to bring to life accounts that combined historical rigor with literary force. Thanks to his vibrant and accessible style, Prescott became a cultural bridge between the Hispanic and Anglo-Saxon worlds. His legacy remains a fundamental reference in the historiography of the Americas and a testament to the power of intellectual passion to transcend borders.
