Description
"Figura his̤trica de la vida real, la mujer conocida como Malinalli, Malintzin, La Malinche, D̜oa Marina y Malinal̤xchitl fue la inťrprete nahua que ayṳd al conquistador espąol Herǹn Corťs a comunicarse con los nativos de ̌Mxico. Cuando los ̕lderes in̕dgenas la v̕ean entrar andando a sus ciudades, la cr̕ean una diosa, bendecida con el poder divino de interpretar las intenciones que te̕nan los espąoles para su tierra. ̀Ms tarde, los historiadores y la cultura popular la declararon traidora: la joven "india" que ayṳd a vender el futuro de ̌Mxico a los invasores. En esta apasionante y faǹtstica narrac̤in, Malinalli es todas esas cosas y ̀ms, pero en el fondo es una jovencita secuestrada y convertida en esclava a los doce ąos que pelea por sobrevivir la devastac̤in provocada por la ambic̤in y la crueldad tanto de los espąoles como de Moctezuma. Bendecida con poderes ̀mgicos y apoyada por un ̕crculo muy unido de sacerdotisas, el debut de la autora Ve̤rnica Chapa teje una historiǎ pica de magia, sororidad, supervivencia y resiliencia mexicana. Es la primera novela que reimagina y reinterpreta la historia de Malinalli con la empa̕ta, la humanidad y la admirac̤in que desde siempre ha merecido."-- Provided by publisher.
Description
"A real-life historical figure, the woman known as Malinalli, Malintzin, La Malinche, D̜oa Marina, and Malinalxochitl was the Nahua interpreter who helped Spanish conquistador Herǹn Corťs 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." -- Provided by the publisher.
