Zustand: Fair. From the bestselling author of Like Water for Chocolate, an extraordinary retelling of the passionate and tragic love affair during the conquest of the Aztecs between the conquistador Cort s and his interpreter, Malinalli. A brilliant and multilingual woman, Malinalli has been reviled throughout Mexican history for the betrayal of her people--but her role was actually much more complex. When a young Malinalli's tribe was conquered and enslaved by the Aztec warriors, her grandmother imparted to her that their founding forefather god, Quetzalcoatl, had abandoned them--but he was destined to return with the rising sun and save her tribe from captivity. When the Spanish conquistador Hern n Cort s first arrives, she--like many--believes he is the reincarnated forefather god of her tribe, here to free them. With her talent for linguistics, Malinalli became an indespensable guide and translator for Cort s. In the hopes of freeing her people--and wanting to please this supposed god--she welcomes Cort s and assumes her new role as an interpreter for the Spanish. Throughout their travels and various conquests, Cort s and Malinalli gradually fall passionately in love. But it's not long before Malinalli realizes that Cort s's thirst for conquest is all too human, and that he is willing to destroy anyone, even his own men, and even their own love.…

A richly textured historical novel recounts the story of the love affair between the conquistador Hernan Cortez and Malinalli, his Indian interpreter during the conquest of the Aztec empire, describing her diverse roles as a slave to the Aztecs and as a mediator between two very different languages and cultures.
