The subject of this book is the life of the Mexicans-the Mexica, as
they said themselves-at the beginning of the sixteenth century. At
that time, in the early 1500s, nobody, from the arid steppes of the
north to the burning jungles of the isthmus, from the coast of the
Gulf of Mexico to the shore of the Pacific, could have believed
that this enormous empire, its culture, its art, its gods, were to
go down a few years later in a historic cataclysm. The period with
which this book is concerned is distinguished from all others by
the wealth of its written documentation. The Mexicans were
interested in themselves and in their history; they were tireless
speech-makers and great loves of verse, thus an immense quantity of
books and legal documents came into being. Drawing on this rich
recorded history, Soustelle creates a memorable portrait of Aztec
society.
