Infortunios de Alonso Ramirez / The Misfortunes of Alonso Ramirez (1690)

In 2009, 319 years after its publication, José F. Buscaglia was the first to furnish irrefutable proof that the story contained in the Infortunios/Misfortunes is based on the life and times of Alonso Ramírez who was shipwrecked in 1689. This Rutgers edition is the most complete and authoritative study on a work that grants us privileged access to the intricacies of early American subjectivity.
