The gruesome Aztec practice of mass human sacrifice horrified Cortes when he entered Tenochticlan in 1519. Yet these bloodthirsty warriors also created a refined society, monumental architecture, powerful sculpture, magnificently illustrated codices, fine goldwork and brilliant feathered costumes. How did these contradictory aspects co-exist in one people? The richly illustrated text is supplemented by contemporary documents including evidence on Aztec myths, social organization, trade, the arts, human sacrifice, the conquest, the continuation of Aztec religion after Christianity and the fate of the Indian population today.

Zustand: Fair. : Este libro explora la historia completa de la cultura azteca, desde sus inicios nómadas hasta su época como constructores de un poderoso imperio y el período del dominio español. Examina cómo coexistieron aspectos aparentemente contradictorios, como la creación de una sociedad refinada y la práctica de sacrificios humanos masivos. El texto está ricamente ilustrado y se complementa con documentos contemporáneos que incluyen evidencia sobre mitos aztecas, organización social, comercio, artes, sacrificios humanos, la conquista, la continuación de la religión azteca después del cristianismo y el destino de la población indígena en la actualidad.
