About this listen

Explora la fascinante historia y mitología de los aztecas

Nada queda de la antigua civilización Mesoamericana que se autodenominaba los Mexicas, mejor conocidos por nosotros como los aztecas. Nada excepto su notable historia.

En este libro, discutimos sus orígenes enigmáticos y cómo los Aztecas se elevaron de las tribus nómadas al poder dominante en Mesoamérica a una velocidad asombrosa. Vagará por las calles de su gran ciudad capital, Tenochtitlán, conocida como "la Venecia del Nuevo Mundo" entre los conquistadores españoles, que difundieron el término por toda Europa. Descubrirá la magnitud del esplendor de la ciudad, visitando sus muchos puestos en el mercado, oliendo a chocolate fresco y vainas de vainilla. Se deleitará con el sabor de los aguacates maduros, recogidos a mano, y las tortillas de maíz recién horneadas mientras descifra el Náhuatl, el idioma que hablan los 50.000 comerciantes que visitan Tenochtitlán cada día.

Probablemente se preguntará cómo esta gran ciudad, construida en medio de un lago y aislada por dos de las montañas más altas de México, Iztaccihuatl y Popocatepetl, pudo ser derrotada. Desde la llegada de los primeros españoles en 1519 a la final caída del imperio Azteca, le hablaremos de las principales batallas que eventualmente llevaron a su derrota. Descubriremos mentiras y engaños en la alianza con sus ciudades vecinas de Tetzcoco y Tlacopan. También veremos el legado Azteca en el mundo contemporáneo: cómo Tenochtitlán se convirtió en la base de la capital del Nuevo Mundo y llegó a ser fundada como la actual Ciudad de México.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Worth your time, great audible.

I’m a fan of the author’s writing style. Content seem to coincide with other texts that I’ve read but just a little. I’m not an Aztec scholar so that statement is probably mute. It would be wonderful if those works referenced in this work were readily available. Author seems authoritative so there’s that. Overall a good short book to read.

El final

La narradora no habla bien español y no puede pronunciar bien la “R”, eso es un factor de distracción.

Good Book Horrible Narrative Pronunciation

The book itself it is interesting and educational
The pronunciation on person reading the book is horrible. She pronounces “Quezalcotl” instead of “Quetzalcoatl” and many other words

Please when narrating books on different languages , my advice is to hire a native person to read the book instead of someone that “knows” the language.
I couldn’t finish the book, it upset me too much

A through guide to learn AZTECA.

A tremendous amount of research material is referenced. I am continually shocked at how the history of this nation was disregarded by the Spanish. Need a bit more which I already covered in this book .

Decepcionante

Imprecisión en
Los datos. Además es desagradable escuchar la historia de los aztecas en una voz con mucho acento ajeno al mexicano y que no puede pronunciar correctamente los nombres

Simply amazing audible.

This audible is simply amazing that this measure of such a multifaceted, relatively unknown and misinterpreted history has been so knowledgeably condensed! This definitely is your go-to overview of the Aztecs. you are definitely going to need some experience in ancient/modern Mexican Language pronunciations, and a basic awareness of the overlapping/intertwining of Mexican/Spanish/Native American History to sail through this one -- but it is well worth it.

The Aztecs were an amazing culture.

The Aztecs were an amazing culture, ferocious but practical. I particular like the nugget you will find on the Mexican flag. Their Military Religious Complex may very well outlive our Military Industrial Complex. Sorry, but this one was more work than pleasure to read, but the last third still makes this a good Aztec refresher worthwhile & increased the rating by a couple stars. Even though I have a fairly negative review of this particular book, I highly recommend these One Hour History series.

Escogieron el narrador incorrecto.

El contenido es una maravilla, pero la forma en que la lectora lo relata, incluyendo errores de pronunciacion.
