One morning in 1519, conquistador Hernaan Cortaes entered the city of Tenochtitlan - today's Mexico City. Later that day, he would meet the emperor Moctezuma in a collision of two worlds, two empires, two languages, two possible futures. Cortaes was accompanied by his nine captains, his troops, and his two translators: Friar Aguilar, a taciturn, former slave, and Malinalli, a strategic, former princess. Greeted at a ceremonial welcome meal by the steely princess Atotoxli, sister and wife of Moctezuma, the Spanish nearly bungle their entrance to the city. As they await their meeting with Moctezuma - who is at a political, spiritual, and physical crossroads, and relies on hallucinogens to get himself through the day and in quest for any kind of answer from the gods - the Spanish are ensconced in the labyrinthine palace. Soon, one of Cortaes's captains, Jazmain Caldera, overwhelmedby the grandeur of the city, begins to question the ease with which they were welcomed into the city, and wonders at the risks of getting out alive, much less conquering the empire. You Dreamed of Empires brings to life Tenochtitlan at its height, and reimagines its destiny. The incomparably original Alvaro Enrigue sets afire the moment of conquest and turns it into a moment of revolution, a restitutive, fantastical counter-attack, in a novel so electric and so unique that it feels like a dream"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Tenochtitlaan, Battle of, Mexico City, Mexico, 1521 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Mexico $x History $y Conquest, 1519-1540 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Alternative histories (Fiction) $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Wimmer, Natasha, $e translator. 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Enrigue, aAlvaro, 1969- $t You dreamed of empires $d New York : Riverhead Books, 2024 $z 9780593544815 $w (DLC) 2023022065 941 $a 12 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20240502011959.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417020858.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409045411.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240409012735.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20240402011536.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20240210010142.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20240207010341.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20240206011238.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240202022034.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240202011624.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240127012736.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011725.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=85EAED88BB4F11EE9799A7D243ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
