Daily Life of the Aztecs

Front Cover
8 Reviews
Sterling Publishing Company Incorporated, Apr 1, 2002 - History - 319 pages
The Aztecs were fierce, honorable, death-obsessed, and profoundly religious. A famed scholar evokes the life of this complex culture on the eve of its extinction, when the Spanish arrived and conquered them--imprisoning Montezuma and strangling Atahualpa. "It is, without question, the most brilliant, the clearest and most readable portrayal of Aztec life available in any language."--The Observer.

Review: Daily Life of the Aztecs

User Review  - Erik Orrantia - Goodreads

A thorough research piece, perhaps a bit dated, this book gives great insight into the life (and death) of the Aztec. As a tool for writing a book, it is fabulous because it is rich with specific detail. Read full review

About the author (2002)

Jacques Soustelle was born in Montpellier in 1912 and attained fame both as a scholar and a politician. He made an exhaustive study of the Aztec language, society, art and architecture, rituals and beliefs. Following his retirement from active politics at the time of the first Algerian revolt, he returned to Paris to reassume a position he had held since 1937-Director of the most famous ethnological museum in the world, the Musee de l'Homme. He died in 1990.
