Juan Miguel Zunzunegui aborda la figura de Hernán Cortés y el acontecimiento de la conquista desde una perspectiva crítica y polémica: rechaza la idea maniquea de los buenos y los malos; desmonta el mito de un Hernán Cortés saqueador, asesino y destructor, frente a un Cortés culto, amante del mestizaje y del sincretismo; sitúa el evento de la conquista en un contexto mundial, que mucho tiene que ver con la historia de Europa y Oriente; y rastrea los lazos y las coincidencias entre las culturas religiosas indígena y cristiana, en un apasionante relato místico sobre México. Juan Miguel Zunzunegui approaches the figure of Herǹn Corťs and the event of the conquest from a critical and controversial perspective: he rejects the Manichean idea of the good guys and the bad guys; he dismantles the myth of a looter, murderer and destroyer Herǹn Corťs, in front of a cultured Corťs, a lover of miscegenation and syncretism; he places the event of the conquest in a world context, which has a lot to do with the history of Europe and the East; and traces the ties and coincidences between indigenous and Christian religious cultures, in a gripping mystical tale about Mexico.
