Publisher's summary

Sixto es un joven celtíbero que fue entregado como rehén a los romanos siendo niño. Se ha criado en Roma y, ya adolescente, ha vuelto a su casa a la ciudad de Gémina, donde ahora se siente un extraño que no es bien recibido. sabe que tendrá que hacer algo para ganarse el respeto y el reconocimiento de los lugareños.

El destino quiere darle la posibilidad de recuperar el reconocimiento de los suyos: hay un oso gigantesco está matando ganado y personas y Sixto consigue que pese a su juventud el famoso cazador Bodo, le permita unirse a su partida de caza tras el oso.

Confiados en su superioridad numérica los cazadores, son cazados y el oso cae sobre ellos y escapa, con lo que cada vez va siendo más respetado por la gente de los pueblos de alrededor que empiezan a verlo más como un dios.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Editorial Review

Mexico is the third-largest country in Latin America. It has a population of over 100 million, making it the country with the most Spanish speakers in the world. Many people don’t know that Mexico is home to 68 native languages that go back centuries and generations. The country has a rich Indigenous history that isn’t widely studied or explored.
In The Broken Spears: The Aztec Account of the Conquest of Mexico, Miguel León-Portilla delves into the history and heritage of Mexico. This educational and engaging title will interest Latinx, Mexican, and European listeners, as well as listeners from other backgrounds and cultures.
As there are not many firsthand native accounts from the Aztec people of the events surrounding Cortes’s Spanish conquest of Mexico, many people are unaware of what really happened. Spanish conqueror Cortes used deadly force to take over the land before conquering the Aztec Empire in 1521. The story of the conquest from the Spanish perspective became the most prominent narrative, erasing the Indigenous peoples’ accounts from history.
Miguel León-Portilla was a Mexican historian and anthropologist. His area of expertise was Aztec culture and colonial history. He was awarded the Living Legend Award by the United States Library of Congress in 2013 before passing away in Mexico City in 2019.
Actor Jason Manuel Olazabal, who you may know from the TV series Dexter, brings Mexico’s complex history to life. This audiobook explains everything from Nahua culture and the fall of the Aztec Empire to the Spanish conquistadors and their impact on communities of Indigenous people.
The Broken Spears is an absolute must-listen for anyone interested in uncovering parts of Mexican history that they didn’t learn about in school. —Audible Latino Editor
