La protagonista indiscutible de la Conquista de México cuenta su verdadera historia.

Durante la primavera de 1519, Hernán Cortés recibe como tributo varias esclavas, sin saber que entre ellas se encuentra una joven que cambiará su destino.

Malintzin también conocida como Malinche, sabe hablar con fluidez maya y náhuatl, y utilizará estas lenguas para sobrevivir en medio de una guerra inevitable y un mundo que dejará de existir entre el humo y el fuego.

De forma íntima, esta inolvidable novela recrea la vida de una mujer que fue protagonista de momentos y batallas que marcaron el violento choque de dos mundos, y que llevó palabras entre el capitán castellano Hernán Cortés y el huey tlatoani Motecuhzoma, dos hombres que tenían ideas muy diferentes sobre la vida, el honor, la fe y la muerte. También rescata los períodos más desconocidos de la vida de Malitnzin, desde su infancia y adolescencia hasta los primeros años de la Colonia española en América, tras la caída de la Gran Tenochtitlan.

Sin duda, esta reveladora novela invita a reflexionar sobre uno de los momentos más dolorosos y menos comprendidos de la historia de México.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The undisputed protagonist of the Conquest of Mexico tells her true story.

During the spring of 1519, Hernán Cortés receives several slaves as payment, without knowing that among them is a young woman who will change his destiny. Malintzin, also known as Malinche, can speak Mayan and Nahuatl fluently, and she will use these languages to survive in the midst of an inevitable war and a world that will cease to exist between smoke and fire.

In an intimate way, this unforgettable novel recreates the life of a woman who was the protagonist of moments and battles that marked the violent clash of two worlds, and who brought words between the Castilian captain Hernán Cortés and the huey tlatoani Motecuhzoma, two men who had very different ideas about life, honor, faith, and death. It also rescues the most unknown periods of Malitnzin's life, from her childhood and adolescence until the early years of the Spanish Colony in America, after the fall of Great Tenochtitlan.

Without a doubt, this revealing novel invites us to reflect on one of the most painful and least understood moments in Mexico's history.
