Continue your journey through the fascinating history of Mexico with this second volume by Alvaro Tezozomoc, an exceptional 16th-century Aztec chronicler.

The Aztec Empire at Its Peak

Tezozomoc reveals the complex organization of this refined society: political institutions, religious rituals, territorial conquests, and the extraordinary artistic and architectural development of Tenochtitlan.

The Arrival of the Conquistadors: A World Turned Upside Down

Relive the dramatic events of the Spanish conquest through the unique perspective of an Aztec witness. Discover the encounter between Moctezuma II and Cortés, the alliances and betrayals, the heroic resistance of the last Aztec emperors, and the tragic fall of one of the greatest civilizations in the Americas.

An Irreplaceable Testimony from Within

Alvaro Tezozomoc, direct descendant of Aztec nobility and grandson of Moctezuma II, offers us a unique perspective on these major historical events. His account, written from within the Mexica civilization, provides an essential counterpoint to Spanish chronicles of the conquest.
