Malinche: A Novel Audiobook (Free)

Summary:

The princess of Latin American literature returns using the legendary romance between Hernán Cortés and his interpreter, Malinalli.

When Malinalli, a member from the tribe conquered by the Aztec warriors, first matches Cortés, she — like many — thinks the conquistador is the reincarnated forefather god of her tribe. Normally, she assumes that her task is normally to greatly help Cortés destroy the Aztec empire and free her people. The two fall passionately in love, but Malinalli gradually comes to realize that Cortés’s thirst for conquest is certainly all too human being. He is ready to kill anyone, actually his own guys, even their very own love.

Throughout Mexican history, Malinalli continues to be reviled for betrayal from the Indian people. However, recent historical study has shown that her part was much more complicated; she was the mediator between two cultures, Hispanic and Local American, and two dialects, Spanish and Náhuatl.

An extraordinary retelling of this passionate and tragic love affair, bursting with lyricism and vibrant imagery, Malinche finally unveils the truth behind the star.
