What the Aztecs Told Me

<p>Introduces Aztec religion, government, warfare, and trade, and the animals and plants the Aztecs knew, as described to a sixteenth-century Spanish friar who was in Mexico shortly after the conquest.</p>

This version of the classic 16th-century story covers the Aztecs' religious rituals, describing their principal gods, the great feasts, and the importance of fire and light. It also deals with the Aztec form of government; the conduct of trade, war, and medicine; and the plants and animals of the New World. Full color.

Tecolote

<p>Este texto se basa en el libro Historia general de las cosas de la Nueva España de Fray Bernardino de Sahagún. Adaptado para niños, habla sobre las creencias y costumbres de los antiguos mexicanos: dioses, fiestas, cantos y bailes, arte adivinatorio, forma de gobierno, sistema judicial y el oficio de la guerra. Habla también de las múltiples actividades que se realizaban: astronomía, medicina herbolaria, pesca. Describe plantas y animales de la época, cuando todavía no llegaban las especies del viejo mundo. Los autores aprovecharon el hecho de que las imágenes del Códice Florentino siguen muy de cerca al texto, para crear un tipo de cómic histórico. En el momento de escribirse el Códice, la realidad allí presentada había dejado de existir. Si pudo recuperarse, fue a través de lo que contaron al fraile los informantes indígenas.</p>
