Desde la enfermedad, cercana a la muerte, olvidado su papel en las arriesgadas avanzadas que dieron el triunfo a las tropas de Hernan Cortes, Malintzin (o Marina, o Malinche) recuerda su vida. Ofrendada como tributo cuando era casi una niña, poco mas que esclavizada en su primera juventud, su capacidad para servir de interprete y su instinto de sobrevivencia la volvieron parte indispensable del ejercito conquistador y simbolo incomprendido de la derrota indigena. En su exploracion del personaje y sus motivaciones, Jose Luis Trueba Lara ha producido una novela historica trepidante y provocadora sobre la caida del imperio azteca y los albores de la Nueva España. Being near death, having forgotten her role in the risky outposts that gave the triumph to the troops of Hernan Cortes, Malintzin (Malinche) remembers her life. Offered as a tribute when she was almost a child, her ability to serve as an interpreter and her instinct for survival made her an indispensable part of the conquering army. In his exploration of the character and his motivations, Jose 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.
