About this ebook
In the first story in this collection, "Gaspar Ruiz", Conrad is carried away by the anti-Spanish legend in its British version, according to which the pro-independence creole fought for freedom against the Spanish oppression, when it actually was a struggle for power. Proof of this is that the Indians mostly supported the continued dependence on Spain.
