En la ciudad de El Tocuyo

the long version

"Called an homage to the city of El Tocuyo, which was established in 1545 and ceased to exist 400 years later, the work is more a comprehensive encyclopedia of the city's 16th-century history than an analytical treatment. Yet, as an informational 'vision of the complex process of formation, growth, and permanence' of a city established by first-generation Venezuelan conquerors, this 2-volume work is fundamental"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
