Aztec by Gary Jennings

An interesting view of the times of the Aztec. Here, we have Spanish priests, interpreters, speechwriters conversing with an Aztec elder who lived in the land before Spain’s inquisition, conquering, and conversion of Mesoamerica. The elder speaks and paints a picture of the ways of the land, the customs, rituals, and religion of his people, and of his own life, before the arrival of the Spanish, in their great boats, with steel and iron. In this novel, you will be able to see, feel and hear the thinking, faith, culture, and visualize the way of life of the Aztecs, and the differences between systems of the new and the old.
