A Different Take on Aztec Culture,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Poet King of Tezcoco: A Great Leader of Ancient Mexico (Hardcover)
Like most people, my knowledge of the Aztecs is shaped by their eventual conquest by the Spaniards. Their entire culture exists to be a foil to their European conquerors. So it was with pleasure that I read this children's biography of Nezahualcoyotl, the great poet king of Tezcoco. He lived in the years immediately preceeding the conquest and was famed as a soldier, builder and poet of the highest order. This biography allows the young reader to enter the pre columbian world in its own context. This is a fresh point of view and I thought the book was very well done. Recommended.
