Download or read book Everyday Life in the Aztec World written by Frances F. Berdan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-03 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Everyday Life in the Aztec World, Frances Berdan and Michael E. Smith offer a view into the lives of real people, doing very human things, in the unique cultural world of Aztec central Mexico. The first section focuses on people from an array of social classes - the emperor, a priest, a feather worker, a merchant, a farmer, and a slave - who interacted in the economic, social and religious realms of the Aztec world. In the second section, the authors examine four important life events where the lives of these and others intersected: the birth and naming of a child, market day, a day at court, and a battle. Through the microscopic views of individual types of lives, and interweaving of those lives into the broader Aztec world, Berdan and Smith recreate everyday life in the final years of the Aztec Empire.

Download or read book Culua written by Samantha Wood and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2003 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Samantha Wood's earliest childhood memories is of her grandfather giving her a wobbly rubber map of Mexico that pulled apart like a jigsaw puzzle and telling her the story of the nomadic Culúa-Mexica who became known as the Aztecs. Suddenly the wanderers were a people with a new identity, a home ...Like her ancestors, Samantha yearns to find a place she can call home. Raised on the enticing glimpses of a dark and magical land conjured up by her Mexican mother's bedtime stories what begins as a visit to her enigmatic grandmother becomes a quest to find out what it means to be Mexican. Samantha's transformation to Samantita isn't quite so simple. Sometimes much more than words get lost in the translation. But as she learns to embrace México verdadero - the real Mexico - she discovers a people who give new meaning to larger than life, the fabulous strong women who rule the roost, the colourful macho men who think they do, and the invincible bonds between family, food and the spirit world. Always an outsider, this nomad at last feels she has come home.
