| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Calavar; or, The Knight of The Conquest, A Romance of Mexico" by Robert Montgomery Bird is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The story centers around the Spanish conquest of Mexico, particularly focusing on the early exploits of Hernán Cortés and his encounters with the Aztecs. Through its rich, descriptive narrative, the book aims to explore themes of civilization versus barbarism, honor, and the complexities of conquest. At the start of the narrative, set in 1520, the arrival of a Spanish fleet in Mexico is described, highlighting the mixed motivations of its crew—ranging from glory to greed. Among them is the noble Don Amador de Leste, whose lofty ideals and disdain for the perceived cowardice of the indigenous people set him apart. He dreams of adventure, glory, and conversion of the native populations. The dialogue between him and the ship’s captain reveals their shared ambitions for the land ahead, while foreshadowing Amador's deeper involvement in the unfolding drama of conquest. A prominent figure mentioned is Calavar, a relative of Amador who is implied to be in need of rescue following the chaos surrounding the conquest, setting up the central conflict of the story.
