Book Overview

Tlatoque

En 1429 el Principe Nezahualc?yotl, Izc?atl, y una decena de pueblos m?s se unen pata derrocar a Maxtla, el tirano usurpador que gobierna todo el valle del An?huac.

Tras la ca?da de Azcapotzalco, las tropas aliadas regresan a sus ciudades de origen, en donde esperan a que Nezahualc?yotl sea reconocido y jurado com huei chichim?catl tecutli (gran gobernante chichimeca), pero eso jam?s ocurre. Mientras Chalco y Huexotla se sublevan e inician una serie de invasiones, los mexicas le exigen la mitad de tlatoc?yotl (¨se?orio¨) al coyote hambriento, beneficio que no formaba parte del acuerdo inicial. Tras bambalinas se encuentra el astuto Tlaca?lel, que mueve los hilos no para arrebatarle a su primo Nezahualc?yotl el imperio chichimeca que le heredaron sus ancestros, sino para crear uno nuevo: el huei mexica tlatoc?yotl ( ¨gran se?or?o mexica)

Enigm?tico y controvertido, Tlaca?lel se devela como el catalizador de la Triple Alianza, padre de la manipulaci?n hist?rica como adoctrinamiento e instrumento de exaltaci?n de la grandeza tenochca, inventor de su propio papado, Cihuac?atl, creador de la religi?n de la sangre y los sacrificios humanos, fundador del Estado mexica, in ceman?huac tepehua (¨conquitador del mundo¨) y consejero supremo de cuatro tlatoque. Tlaca?lel, el poder detr?s del poder.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Tlatoque.

In 1429, Prince Nezahualcoyotl, Izcoatl, and a dozen peoples unite to overthrow Maxtla, the tyrannic usurper ruling over the Valley of Anahuac.

After Azcapotzalco falls, the allied troops return to their cities, where they wait for Nezahualcoyotl to be acknowledged and sworn as huei chichimecatl tecutli (high Chichimeca ruler). But this never happens. While Chalco and Huexotla rise and incite a series of invasions, the Mexica demand half of the tlatocayotl (estate) from the hungry coyote, a profit that wasn't part of the original agreement. Backstage we have the astute Tlacaelel, not moving the strings to take the Chichimeca empire his cousin Nezahualcoyotl inherited from his ancestors, but to create a new one: the huei mexica tlatocayotl (great Mexica estate).

Enigmatic and controversial, Tlacaelel is revealed as the catalyst for the Triple Alliance, father of historical manipulation as doctrine and a tool to praise the Tenochca greatness, inventor of his own papacy, Cihuacoatl, creator of a religion of blood and human sacrifice, founder of the Mexica estate, in cemanahuac tepehua (conqueror of the world), and supreme advisor to four tlatoque. Tlacaelel was the power behind the power.
