Book Synopsis



Edición especial conmemorando el V centenario de la conquista de México, episodio que marcó el devenir de un imperio y todo un continente.


En 1519, la armada de Hernán Cortés, con quinientos infantes y once buques, zarpó de Cuba desoyendo órdenes directas con la intención manifiesta de llegar al corazón del mayor imperio del Nuevo Mundo. Cuando finalmente se adentraron en Tenochtitlán, fueron recibidos con honores por Moctezuma y su pueblo, quienes les reverenciaron como si de dioses se trataran. No obstante, el posterior secuestro y destitución de Moctezuma, así como la destrucción de la capital, convierten la conquista de México en uno de los episodios más cautivadores y trágicos de la historia del mundo.


«Una obra suprema y hasta ahora insuperada de conocimiento histórico. Un libro para todas las épocas.» --Del prólogo de Enrique Krauze

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Special edition commemorating the 500th anniversary of the conquest of Mexico--an event that reshaped the fate of an empire and an entire continent.


In 1519, Hernán Cortés set sail from Cuba with five hundred soldiers and eleven ships, defying direct orders with the clear intent of reaching the heart of the greatest empire in the New World. Upon entering Tenochtitlán, he and his men were welcomed with honors by Moctezuma and his people, who revered them as gods. However, the subsequent abduction and removal of Moctezuma, followed by the destruction of the capital, turned the conquest of Mexico into one of the most gripping and tragic episodes in world history.


"A supreme and, to this day, unmatched work of historical insight. A book for all times." --From the foreword by Enrique Krauze
