Rating:
Summary: beautifully illustrated, clear story line, human scale,
Review: Andrea Gaudiano, utilizing up-to-date ethnohistorical research and interviews with leading Aztec scholars presents a dramatic account of the birth, growth, romance, daily life of two Aztec people (male and female) just before and during the Conquest of Tenochtitlan. The book is appropriate for junior high to adult readers and uses innovative drawing techniques and perspectives on human action, emotion and religious ideas. One of the best publications to come out of the unique exhibition "Aztec: The World of Moctezuma" held at the Denver Museum of Natural History in 1993.
