Tu sueño imperios han sido

Hernán Cortés enters Mehxicoh-Tenoxtitlan with his nine captains, his two translators -Friar Aguilar and Malinalli, interpreter and lover-, his troops and their horses. There the princess Atotoxtli, sister and wife of Moctezuma, accompanied by the priests, entertains them with a meal, and later on the emperor Moctezuma himself will receive the Cortés leader. Some have never seen horses in their lives, others have never tasted chocolate until now. The Spanish are well received in the city, but one of Cortés's subordinates, Jazmín Caldera, does not dare tell him that the worrying thing had never been how to get to Tenoxtitlan, but how to get out once they were inside. On November 8, 1519, the meeting between Cortés and Moctezuma takes place, whom no one can look directly in the face if he does not first give his permission. It is the meeting between two worlds, two empires, two languages, two worldviews. What happened? What could have happened? Where does the truth end and the legend begin? How to approach history from fiction? Álvaro Enrigue has written a powerful narrative: a possible version of the encounter that changed the history of the world, a novel wrapped in mysteries, violence, desire for power and dreams that have been empires.
