The Inca Empire was the largest in terms of area and population in South America in the 11th-16th centuries, one of the civilizations destroyed during the conquest of the New World. 'History of the Inca State' is the main work of Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, a witness to the tragic demise of his people. The book is one of the main sources on the history of this lost empire. The work is divided into 9 books, which are further divided into small chapters. Despite the abundance of legends cited, the authenticity of most descriptions in the 'History of the Inca State' is recognized by researchers. The author talks about the achievements of the Incas in the field of administrative system, the humanism of the Inca emperors, and the resilience of the people. In his arguments, there is noticeable criticism of the Spaniards, who cruelly treated the indigenous population of Peru. De la Vega also speaks out against the discrimination of the native population of America and the ruthless exploitation of its natural resources. This work is also considered as the starting point for the development of Peruvian Spanish-language literature.
