El recuento imaginado de los triunfos y pesares de una de las mujeres m?s controversiales e incomprendidas de la historia de M?xico y su mitolog?a, perfecto para lectores de Dioses de jade y sombra, de Silvia Moreno Garc?a, y La herencia de Orqu?dea Divina, de Zoraida C?rdova.
Figura hist?rica de la vida real, la mujer conocida como Malinalli, Malintzin, La Malinche, Do?a Marina y Malinalx?chitl fue la int?rprete nahua que ayud? al conquistador espa?ol Hern?n Cort?s a comunicarse con los nativos de M?xico. Cuando los l?deres ind?genas la ve?an entrar andando a sus ciudades, la cre?an una diosa, bendecida con el poder divino de interpretar las intenciones que ten?an los espa?oles para su tierra. M?s tarde, los historiadores y la cultura popular la declararon traidora: la joven "india" que ayud? a vender el futuro de M?xico a los invasores. En esta apasionante y fant?stica narraci?n, Malinalli es todas esas cosas y m?s, pero en el fondo es una jovencita secuestrada y convertida en esclava a los doce a?os que pelea por sobrevivir la devastaci?n provocada por la ambici?n y la crueldad tanto de los espa?oles como de Moctezuma. Bendecida con poderes m?gicos y apoyada por un c?rculo muy unido de sacerdotisas, el debut de la autora Ver?nica Chapa teje una historia ?pica de magia, sororidad, supervivencia y resiliencia mexicana. Es la primera novela que reimagina y reinterpreta la historia de Malinalli con la empat?a, la humanidad y la admiraci?n que desde siempre ha merecido. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An imaginative retelling of the triumphs and sorrows of one of the most controversial and misunderstood women in Mexico's history and mythology, perfect for fans of Silvia Moreno-Garcia's Gods of Jade and Shadow and Zoraida C?rdova's The Inheritance of Orqu?dea Divina. A real-life historical figure, the woman known as Malinalli, Malintzin, La Malinche, Do?a Marina, and Malinalxochitl was the Nahua interpreter who helped Spanish conquistador Hern?n Cort?s communicate with the native people of Mexico. When indigenous leaders observed her marching into their cities, they believed she was a goddess--blessed with the divine power to interpret the Spaniards' intentions for their land. Later, historians and pop culture would deem her a traitor--the "Indian" girl who helped sell Mexico's future to an invader. In this riveting, fantastical retelling, Malinalli is all of those things and more, but at heart, she's a young girl, kidnapped into slavery by age twelve, and fighting to survive the devastation wrought by both the Spanish and Moctezuma's greed and cruelty. Blessed with magical powers, and supported by a close-knit circle of priestesses, Mali vows to help defend her people's legacy. In vivid, compelling prose, debut author Veronica Chapa spins an epic tale of magic, sisterhood, survival, and Mexican resilience. This is the first novel to reimagine and reinterpret Malinalli's story with the empathy, humanity, and awe she's always deserved.
