Sobre este artículo
San Antonio, Texas, U.S.A.: Corona Publishing Company, 1988. Trade Paperback. Very Good. 5 1/2" x 8 1/2. 143 Pages Indexed. Cover show minor wear. No other defects noted. In all of human history there is no more thrilling tale of adventure than the conquest of the Aztec Empire by Hernando Cortes and his motley band of soldiers, priests, and ruffians. It inspired the great New England historian William H. Prescott to produce, in 1843, his brilliant three-volume History of the Conquest of Mexico. It has appeared in over 200 editions and at least twenty languages. Prescott's dramatic and carefully documented account stands as one of the most reliable chronicles of the 16th-century confrontation between the Old World Spaniards and the New World Mexican peoples. Carl Van Doren wrote in 1934 regarding Prescott's book that only its length has kept it from being more widely read. Berler cautions modern readers to keep in mind the distinct moral standards of the 16th century, for the conquerors and Aztecs alike must be judged in the sprit of those faraway times. Contents in 12 Chapters: View of Aztec Civilization, Discover of Mexico, Meeting with the Tlascalans, Encounter in Cholula, March to Tenochtitlan, The Insurrection of Narvaez, Death of Montezuma, The Noche Triste, The War on the Water, Before the Towers of Tenochtitlan, Siege and Surrender of Mexico, and The Legacy of Cortez. Plus Preface, Prescott's Reflections, and Notes.
