Conquest Mexico

In 1519, Hernando Cortés arrived in Mexico to investigate stories of a wealthy empire. What he encountered was beyond his wildest dreams; an advanced civilization with complex artistic, political, and religious systems (involving extensive human sacrifice) and replete with gold. This was the Aztec empire, headed by the aloof emperor, Montezuma.

Bring history back to life through Jim Hodges' historically accurate, exciting, and edifying audio recordings. The conquest of the Aztec Empire by Hernando Cortez and a mere handful of Spaniards is one of the greatest romances of history. A writer of fiction would scarcely have dared to invent so improbable a story, but it is true. Fortunately Cortez was able to ally himself with many peoples conquered by the Aztecs who were all too happy to assist in their downfall.

Este audio libro integra, en una redacción original, por un lado, algunos fragmentos de la crónica de Bernal Díaz del Castillo, Historia de la Conquista de la Nueva España, y, por otro, las aportaciones de Fernando Orozco Linares, investigador en historia, lo que da como resultado una obra fascinante que actualiza la narración de la Conquista.
