Description

The Aztecs by Inga Clendinnen is a vividly dramatic analysis of the culture of Tenochtitlan in its last unthreatened years. This account recreates the city's social existence and provides insight into the mannered violence of their ritual killings, which were a key part of their ceremony as performance art. The book explores the experiences and concerns that bound Aztec society together, shedding light on the complexities of life in a late imperial city. Clendinnen's work is a compelling study of a fascinating culture, offering a unique perspective on the history of Mexico and its indigenous peoples. With 554 pages, this paperback edition provides a comprehensive look at the Aztecs, their traditions, and their place in world history.
