The story of Mixtli is the story of the Aztecs themselves-a compelling, epic tale of heroic dignity and a colossal civilizations rise and fall. Gary Jennings, quote from Aztec As we believed in those days, a hero slain in the service of a mighty lord or sacrificed in homage to a high god was assured of a life everlasting in the most resplendent of afterworlds, where he would be rewarded and regaled with bliss throughout eternity. Told in the words of one of the most robust and memorable characters in modern fiction, Mixtli-Dark Cloud, Aztec reveals the very depths of Aztec civilization from the peak and feather-banner splendor of the Aztec Capital of Tenochtitlan to the arrival of Hernn Corts and his conquistadores, and their destruction of the Aztec empire. Book Synopsis Gary Jenningss Aztec is the extraordinary story of the last and greatest native civilization of North America. ![]() ![]() But here in my hands was a novel that underscored a belief that both true stories and imagined ones matter. I paged through Ragtime for hours, underlining sentences in pencil, readying the class I was to teach before finishing my graduate degree, leaving my intentional community and going on to-I didn’t know what yet. Five years before Howard Zinn published A People’s History of the United States, Ragtime spotlighted history’s outsiders, especially immigrants and African Americans, destabilizing the stories our nation likes to tell itself about itself. The famous characters shed light on the humble ones, making the story of those in search of a name for themselves especially vivid. Then Mother’s Younger Brother, in search of his life’s purpose, runs into the revolutionary Zapatistas in Mexico, but dies soon after. Father lands a spot on Robert Peary’s legendary 1909 North Pole expedition, but he isn’t on the final leg that actually makes the mark. ![]() One of the most touching elements of the book is in the characters’ doomed search for a place in history. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here he speaks frankly about who is really The Dark Prince, about love, life and a lot of interesting questions posed by you, the Dark Addicts. ![]() So everyone assumed that Laen was The Dark Prince of the title, after all.why wouldn't you?

My opinion is that this book is not for everyone, I feel that this book requires some understanding and fundamental that many people don't have or just lack. Even then many kids will still not get the full understanding of this book, sure story can be slow at times but in the end it builds up and makes it much better, it's still an amazing story that your kids should read with you and don't discourage your kids from asking you what the word is or what it's talking about (great way to learn). ![]() Most people under the age of 15 will not grasp all of the ideas from this book and should be read with an adult if under said age Although some children are much smarter or better understanding of this, so this does not apply to all kids under 15. ![]() ![]() This book includes many questionable ideologies and ethical decisions, when someone has a full grasp of this book it will bend your emotions.

The story offers a different perspective, instead of migrating to the U.S. ![]() ![]() While it is presented through a compelling narrative structure, as so many books in this genre are these days, it provides the reader with nothing but verified and researched facts, and the author has fairly earned his reputation as one of the more eye-opening and reliable history writers today. Though listening to some would lead one to believe the country’s past to be fraught with nothing but honour and glory, as Timothy Egan shows it in A Fever in the Heartland, there are some dark and vile chapters the people would be keen on forgetting.īefore moving on, I feel the need to point out this is indeed a work of non-fiction. The United States of America are a relatively young country, having only existed for a few hundred years, and nevertheless it has managed to leave greater and longer lasting imprints in history than many older entities.
