<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Desde la enfermedad, cercana a la muerte, olvidado su papel en las arriesgadas avanzadas que dieron el triunfo a las tropas de Hernán Cortés, Malintzin (o Marina, o Malinche) recuerda su vida. Ofrendada como tributo cuando era casi una niña, poco más que esclavizada en su primera juventud, su capacidad para servir de intérprete y su instinto de sobrevivencia la volvieron parte indispensable del ejército conquistador y símbolo incomprendido de la derrota indígena. En su exploración del personaje y sus motivaciones, José Luis Trueba Lara ha producido una novela histórica trepidante y provocadora sobre la caída del imperio azteca y los albores de la Nueva España. <p/><i>Being near death, having forgotten her role in the risky outposts that gave the triumph to the troops of Hernán Cortés, Malintzin (Malinche) remembers her life.

In his exploration of the character and his motivations, José Luis Trueba has produced a fast-paced and provocative historical novel about the fall of the Aztec empire and the dawn of the New Spain.</i><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>José Luis Trueba</b> is a writer, journalist, editor, and professor.
