Synopsis "Moctezuma Xocoyotzin, Entre La Espada Y La Cruz / Moctezuma Xocoyotzin: Between the Sword and the Cross (in Spanish)"
Con una narrativa apegada a los pensamientos de los habitantes del México antiguo, Sofía Guadarrama Collado nos acerca al otro lado de la Conquista de México. Motecuzoma Xocoyotzin, arquitecto, poeta versado, sacerdote ferviente, guerrero temerario, político astuto, hombre analítico e injustamente menospreciado por historiadores y novelistas, estuvo al frente del suceso más importante de la historia del continente americano; y consciente del alto riesgo que conllevaba una batalla contra un ejército invencible, por la calidad de sus armas y el avasallador número de tropas aliadas, decidió, para librar a su pueblo de una masacre, adoptar como estrategia un duelo de inteligencias contra un adversario a su altura, Hernán Cortés. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION With a narrative close to the mindset of antient Mexico's inhabitants, Sofía Guadarrama Collado takes us to the other side of the Conquest of Mexico.
