loss of a culture
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Hassig gives a new telling of how Mexico fell to the Spaniards. A tale of courage and brutality. The reader can certainly see bravery in the saga of how a relatively few conquistadors managed to outthink and outfight the Aztec empire. We also see glimpses into the character and resourcefulness of Hernan Cortes. And there is no shirking of the methods by which the Aztecs held together their empire, with the well known customs of human sacrifices. But the book also shows that Cortes and his men could on occasion match the Aztecs for savage behaviour. There is somewhat of a sense of loss in the narrative. That much of the Aztec culture is now irretrievably gone. So different from the European societies of that time.
