En estas páginas se presenta una selección de los párrafos más iluminados de la Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva España. Se trata de las descripciones más apasionadas y asombrosas que se quedarían para siempre en la memoria del cronista. Aquí se perciben el azoro ante lo desconocido, la admiración ante las grandezas del mundo mexica, la sentida importancia que el autor confiere a los hechos en los que participa y todo un vértigo de colores, sabores, edificios y multitudes que no parecen sino cosas de encantamiento.
