Cuando toma la decisioÌn de quemar las naves ya no hay vuelta atraÌs. A partir de ahiÌ empieza una de las aventuras maÌs colosales de la historia de la humanidad, la marcha hacia Tenochtitlan, el centro del mundo, el corazoÌn del inexpugnable imperio azteca gobernado por Moctezuma que tiene sometidos por el terror a los demaÌs pueblos del AnaÌhuac: dos culturas y dos mundos que se enfrentaraÌn a muerte. "El centro del mundo" es una novela histoÌrica que puede tambieÌn ser disfrutada como una apasionante novela de aventuras, con dos tramas paralelas que se entrecruzan: el avance imparable del ejeÌrcito de HernaÌn Cortes hacia Tenochtitlan, sumando por el camino aliados gracias a las artes de Malintze, y la inquietud que eso produce en Moctezuma, que cree ver en CorteÌs la reencarnacioÌn del dios Quetzacoalt y el fin de su imperio. Luchas intestinas, castigos atroces, batallas eÌpicas y sacrificios rituales conforman una novela en la que hay tambieÌn lugar para el amor: el de los conquistadores con nativas que se sumaron a la expedicioÌn, y el prohibido entre dos hermanos, NetzahualcoÌyotl y Chimali, los hijos de NacuiÌtzolt, el despiadado decano de los sacerdotes." -- $c Back cover 520 $a "With eleven ships, just over four hundred soldiers, eleven captains, a dozen horses and a few pieces of artillery, Hernán Cortés landed in 1519 on the shores of what is now known as Mexico. When he makes the decision to burn the ships there is no turning back. From there begins one of the most colossal adventures in the history of humanity, the march towards Tenochtitlan, the center of the world, the heart of the impregnable Aztec empire ruled by Moctezuma that has the other peoples of the Anahuac subjected to terror: two cultures and two worlds that will face death. "The center of the world" is a historical novel that can also be enjoyed as an exciting adventure novel, with two parallel plots that intersect: the unstoppable advance of Hernán Cortes' army towards Tenochtitlan, adding allies along the way thanks to the arts of Malintze, and the concern that this produces in Moctezuma, who believes that he sees in Cortés the reincarnation of the god Quetzacoalt and the end of his empire. Internal struggles, atrocious punishments, epic battles and ritual sacrifices make up a novel which there is also a place for love in: that of the conquerors with native women who joined the expedition, and that forbidden between two brothers, Netzahualcóyotl and Chimali, the sons of NacuÃtzolt, the ruthless dean of priests." -- $c Cataloger's translation of the synopsis on the cover 546 $a In Spanish.
