Hernán Cortés. La verdadera historia

By Antonio Cordero

Hace 500 a?os Espa?a llega a M?xico e impone, entre muchas otras cuestiones, lengua, gobierno y religi?n. Qu? era M?xico antes de la llegada de los espa?oles? Cort?s destruy? una maravillosa civilizaci?n? Por qu? en el imaginario colectivo al conquistador se lo considera un militar cruel? Qu? habr?a pasado si los europeos no hubiesen llegado a Am?rica? En este libro Antonio Cordero analiza todas estas cuestiones de forma directa. Distinguiendo entre "naci?n" y "patria", Cordero afirma que La Malinche, compa?era de Cort?s, es la mujer m?s importante que ha dado Am?rica. Que la toma de Tenochtitl?n supuso una liberaci?n de los pueblos ind?genas del yugo mexicano y que el propio Cort?s fue quien dio el banderazo de salida de la nacionalidad mexicana. Las razones de la grandeza del conquistador y tambi?n de su desprestigio, las virtudes, los defectos... pero sobre todo, las consecuencias de su olvido. Cu?les son los aspectos positivos de toda conquista, el posterior intercambio cultural y los beneficios del mestizaje racial y cultural. Para el autor M?xico es Espa?a aunque no se sea consciente de ello. Desconocer lo anterior tiene hoy un precio, y el pa?s lo est? pagando. El lector tiene entre sus manos una obra que no elude las grandes preguntas y se atreve a dar respuestas. Con valor, visi?n personal y sin miedo a la pol?mica.

500 years ago, Spain came to Mexico and imposed, among many other things, language, government and religion. What was Mexico before the arrival of the Spanish? Did Cort?s destroy a wonderful civilization? Why is the conqueror considered, in the collective imagination, a cruel military man? What would have happened if the Europeans had not reached America? In this book, Antonio Cordero analyzes all these questions head on. Distinguishing between "nation" and "homeland", Cordero affirms that La Malinche, Cort?s's companion, is the most important woman that America has given. That the taking of Tenochtitl?n meant a liberation of the indigenous peoples from the Mexican yoke and that Cort?s himself was the one who gave way to Mexican nationality. The reasons for the greatness of the conqueror and also for his disgrace, the virtues, the defects ... but above all, the consequences of his oblivion. What are the positive aspects of any conquest, the subsequent cultural exchange and the benefits of racial and cultural miscegenation? For the author, Mexico is Spain even if people are not aware of it. Ignorance of the above has a price these days, and the country is paying it. The reader holds in his hands a book that does not avoid the big questions and dares to give answers. With courage, personal vision and without fear of controversy.
