Tu sueño imperios han sido by Álvaro Enrigue

On November 8, 1519, the meeting between Cortés and Moctezuma takes place. No one can look directly at Moctezuma's face unless he first gives permission. It is the encounter between two worlds, two empires, two languages, two worldviews.

What happened? What could have happened? Where does the truth end and the legend begin?   How can history be approached through fiction? Álvaro Enrigue has written a powerful narrative: a possible version of the encounter that changed the history of the world, a novel  shrouded in mysteries, violence, lust for power, and dreams that have been empires.
