About this listen

This book offers a complete and humanised portrait of Hernán Cortés, from his origins as a poor hidalgo in 16th-century Spain to his role as architect of the new colonial order in New Spain. This volume covers the expedition to Mexico, the indigenous alliances, the fall of Tenochtitlán, and the construction of the viceregal system, without forgetting the private life of the conqueror: his loves, ambitions, contradictions, and conflicts.
