Resumen del Editor

Did you know that the Aztecs sacrificed 500 to 700 people every year in order to satisfy their gods?

For many years, the Aztecs have captured our imaginations. Stories from the original European invaders combined with unique, awe-inspiring ruins and legends that speak of palaces of gold create an image of Aztec society defined by grandeur, wealth, and splendor.

But who exactly were the Aztecs? Where did they come from? How did they rise to control such a wide expanse of land? And if they were so powerful, how was it possible for them to fall from power and dominance just three years after contact was first made with the Spaniards?

These are just some of the questions that this new captivating history audiobook aims to answer.

Very Nice

This book explains the everyday lives with the Aztecs. All very interesting. Its holding my interest.

Excellent

very good listening. Keeps you from going to sleep. Difficult to distinguish facts from fiction Eke Schnabel.

Enjoyed It

Can't say enough about the way this book is written. It is graphic but what do most expect! I read this a few years ago and reordered it to read it again.

Excellent Deal

I was not familiar with the Triple Alliance until now . Nor did I know the Aztecs never referred to themselves as Aztec. The classes of people was informative & the way governing the empire was not essentially the emperor’s role .

Highly Recommended

This book provides an excellent overview of the Aztecs and the life of the individual. Contains an excellent bibliography for further reading and research. Highly recommended.

Fascinating Book

Fascinating read supposedly with a lot of accuracy in the details. We had a hard time putting it down.

Interesting Reference

Excellent telling of how things went right from day one of the "discovery " of the Americas and how varying the goals were.

A Great Resourse

Very interesting was the diet of corn & beans which gave the Aztecs all the nutritional value needed . Meat was in short supply so they made do with what was available & what they could grow.

Very Well-Written

This book helped me to understand the Aztec culture much better. So, i suggest this book.

Great Book

This is the first and only book that ever made me scream at it in frustration because I thought the main character was doing something so boneheaded.
