La princesa de la literatura latinoamericana, está de regreso con la historia el legendario amor entre el conquistador Hernan Cortés y su intérprete, la india Malinalli.

FonoLibro se enorgullece en presentar la nueva novela de la laureada escritora mexicana Laura Esquivel, Malinche, narrada por la laureada estrella mexicana Lucia Méndez.

Cuando Malinalli conoce a Cortés asume que se trata del propio Dios Quetzalcóatl que regresa a liberar a su pueblo. Los dos se enamoran apasionadamente, pero este amor pronto es destruido por la desmedida sed de conquista, poder y riqueza de Cortés.

A lo largo de la historia de México Malinalli/Malinche ha sido conocida por su traición al pueblo indio. Pero recientes investigaciones históricas han mostrado que Malinalli fue la mediadora entre dos culturas, la hispánica y la americana nativa; y entre dos lenguas, el español y el náhuatl.

Lo que Esquivel ha hecho aquí es desafiar la mitología tradicional mediante un retrato muy temperamental del Adán y la Eva de la cultura mestiza, Cortés y Malinalli, con la caída del imperio azteca como telón de fondo. Contada con el lirismo de la tradición cantarina y pictórica del náhuatl, Laura Esquivel nos brinda un mito fundacional de la cultura híbrida del Nuevo Mundo y una extraordinaria historia de amor.

El bien y el mal, el ying y el yang, lo positivo y lo negativo, el negro y el blanco, el amor y el odio… El encuentro de los opuestos, tan intrínseco al pensamiento humano, ha encontrado un lugar en la literatura gracias a dos figuras que se contraponen y complementan: el héroe y el villano. Hemos preparado para ti una selección de héroes y villanos que han protagonizado novelas históricas escritas por autores latinos.

I really dislike the exaggerated indigenous accent the narrator, Lucia Mendez uses as La Malinche.

Good story but the narrator is not that good.

Mis felicitaciones a Lucia Mendez que presto su voz en esta narracion

Me gusto la novela

Unfortunately, Lucia Mendez seems to miss the syntax in many occasions breaking sentences at the wrong place. The story is fiction, although based on real events and characters. It is a controversial issue (Malinche’s role during the conquest) but Laura Esquivel writes an entertaining plot.

Poor performance by narrator

If you could sum up Malinche in three words, what would they be?

Legendary, dramatic, and compelling

Who was your favorite character and why?

The Grandmother and her influence on the young Malinche

What about Lucia Mendez’s performance did you like?

Lucia Mendez speaks quite distinctly so it is easy to understand her against the background music.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The opening descriptions with Malinche and the grandmother

Any additional comments?

I hesitated to purchase the audio version because of other reviewers' criticisms about the background music, but I found the music to be an interesting feature of the audio version. Esquivel appears to like to try new technologies and forms for the presentation of her novels. The drama in this one ties the music into the legendary nature of the story of Malinalli.

Racista el modo en que le lectora interpreta a los personajes Nativo Americanos. Una lástima que se siga preservando los estereotipos de los habitantes originales.

Mala interpretación de la lectora

Definitely worth listening to and reading to get that real historical personal and emotional insight into the the 1500s New Spain Mexico.

Super important historical literature

FONOLIBRO, se equivocaron, NO ERA RADIONOVELA. Musicalizacion constante bloquea al usuario. Representación estereotipada. For English readers: give this book a chance, narrated by Maria Conchita Alonso, UNABRIDGE production.

Libro maravilloso, pésima producción de FONOLIBRO

Laura Esquivel es garantía de una buena narración, la cual te lleva a ver la historia de esta importante mujer desde su propia perspectiva. La narración de Lucía Méndez me sorprendió positivamente. Su voz es clara y sus entonaciones muy adecuadas.

Excelente
