Bernal Díaz del Castillo war ein spanischer Konquistador und Chronist, dessen Werk einen einzigartigen Augenzeugenbericht über die Eroberung des Aztekenreichs liefert. Er schildert anschaulich die rauen Realitäten militärischer Feldzüge, die Motivationen der Soldaten und das koloniale Aufeinandertreffen mit indigenen Kulturen. Sein Erzählstil ist direkt und sachlich, wobei er oft die persönlichen Erfahrungen eines einfachen Soldaten hervorhebt. Seine Schriften sind eine wesentliche Quelle zum Verständnis eines entscheidenden Moments in der Geschichte Amerikas.
Diaz del Castillo berichtet von den Intrigen zwischen den Spaniern, ihrem Vorgehen mit Schwert und Kreuz gegen die Eingeborenen, den weiteren Feldzügen in Honduras auf der Suche nach noch mehr Schätzen, der ungleichen Aufteilung der Kriegsbeute durch Hernan Cortes, dem Unwillen der Soldaten, die sich zu Recht betrogen fühlen und doch stets aufs neue Cortes’ Faszination erliegen.
