Sangre Azteca

Rate this book
Regresamos a una era remota, a una sociedad cuyas tierras han sido arrebatadas y sus almas aplastadas por el imperio español, el más poderoso del mundo. El pueblo azteca ha sido conquistado y la sangrienta rebelión indígena reprimida. El antiguo Imperio ahora es llamado Nueva España, y los aztecas han sido reducidos a esclavos en grandes estados organizados como feudos. Los conquistadores españoles gobiernan como someten a los indígenas a trabajos forzosos y las mujeres han pasado a ser de su propiedad. En esta colorida y apasionante época, en medio de tumultos y rebeliones, un joven mendigo mestizo, por cuyas venas corre la sangre de la realeza española y azteca. debe desvelar el secreto mortal que esconde su linaje paterno y reclamar los derechos que le corresponden por nacimiento. Como en sus aclamadas novelas Azteca y Otoño azteca, Gary Jennings nos invita de nuevo a viajar a través de la crueldad, la valentía, el erotismo y la grandeza de una civilización ya desaparecida.

About the author

Gary Jennings

139 books454 followers
Gary Jennings led a paradoxically picaresque life. On one hand, he was a man of acknowledged intellect and erudition. His novels were international best sellers, praised around the world for their stylish prose, lively wit and adventurously bawdy spirit. They were also massive - often topping 500,000 words - and widely acclaimed for the years of research he put into each one, both in libraries and in the field.

Jennings served in the Korean War, where he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal- a decoration rarely given to soldier-reporters- and a personal citation by South Korean President Syngman Rhee for his efforts on behalf of war orphans.

Where the erudition came from, however, was something of a mystery.
