Publisher's Summary
FonoLibro se enorgullece en presentar la nueva novela de la laureada escritora mexicana Laura Esquivel, Malinche, narrada por la laureada estrella mexicana Lucia Méndez.
Cuando Malinalli conoce a Cortés asume que se trata del propio Dios Quetzalcóatl que regresa a liberar a su pueblo. Los dos se enamoran apasionadamente, pero este amor pronto es destruido por la desmedida sed de conquista, poder y riqueza de Cortés.
A lo largo de la historia de México Malinalli/Malinche ha sido conocida por su traición al pueblo indio. Pero recientes investigaciones históricas han mostrado que Malinalli fue la mediadora entre dos culturas, la hispánica y la americana nativa; y entre dos lenguas, el español y el náhuatl.
Lo que Esquivel ha hecho aquí es desafiar la mitología tradicional mediante un retrato muy temperamental del Adán y la Eva de la cultura mestiza, Cortés y Malinalli, con la caída del imperio azteca como telón de fondo. Contada con el lirismo de la tradición cantarina y pictórica del náhuatl, Laura Esquivel nos brinda un mito fundacional de la cultura híbrida del Nuevo Mundo y una extraordinaria historia de amor.

"Did not like it! Good book not a good audible."
I was so looking forward to listen to this book. Lucia Mendez is not good at narrating this story and the music does not help her. She over does it with the dramatic tone of voice. Could not hear more than 30mins. I just couldn't take it. I'll try to buy the printed book and read it even if it takes me weeks.

"Nice book"
The book is nice, but the background music drove me crazy. Especially since I was listening to this in part to practice my Spanish comprehension, the music made it hard to listen.

"Absurda y ridícula novela."
Would you try another book from Laura Esquivel and/or Lucia Mendez?No.
What could Laura Esquivel have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?Esta novela no está basada en hechos o en la realidad sociocultural de los nativos de la época. Es más, hace perpetua los mismos prejuicios que, desafortunadamente, todavía son parte de la cultura actual. Me horrorizó escuchar como -supuestamente- hablaba la abuela de
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?Disappointment.
Any additional comments?No pude terminar de escucharla... a lo mejor hubiera logrado redimir algo, pero me fué imposible soportar más...

"A marvelous delight"
Mas, mas, mas. This book is one of the few delights available in Spanish through Audiobooks. It is read with all the beauty that is available from Spanish culture -- and that's a lot. This is a wonderful interpretation of the role of women in culture, in Mexican history, and in the universe! I only wish there were already a full library of these delicious delights.
What a marvelous reading of a significant and powerful novel!

"Laura Esquivel, another great book!!!"
What did you love best about Malinche?I loved the way Laura Esquivel uses Malinche as the mother of The "mestizo"race with all the exotic beauty and mysticism .
Who was your favorite character and why?Malinche, sensual, brave, and mistic.
What does Lucia Mendez bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?The diferent entonation, accents.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?Little resentment agaist Spaniers for the lack of understanding of the new world. What a pitty to destry an entire civilization, without validating their knowledge.
