Popis: The shipwreck accounts of the 16th century are not only fascinating documents about very extreme experiences, but they can be seen also as interesting literary documents. Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, the most famous Spanish castaway, was forced to spend almost ten years among different indigenous tribes. His account is a testimony of his unusual experiences and it is very interesting from the point of view of narrative techniques since he had to find the way to narrate his strange story. It is also important to compare his account with other shipwreck accounts since they share many images and motifs.
