Amazing Epic Tale of the Aztec Empire and its Ruin and Domination by Spain
This is a unique book which probably would not have been published if it was brought forth today,
given the shift towards our concern with moral correctness in the arts (virtually every sexual taboo
is violated many times in the narrative, which is also extremely violent and at times, grossly sadistic).
It is a very disturbing tale, but always gripping and ultimately satisfying. The story is told by an old
Aztec Indian recalling a life that was a steady climb from the bottom to the top up the social ladder in
the ancient Mexican empire until the arrival of the Spanish invaders. It chronicles the wholesale
annihilation of a complex society by a small band of cunningly bold European interlopers motivated by
greed and assisted by superior weaponry. A must read.
