Description
Las creencias apocalÃpticas de los aztecas acerca del fin de los tiempos fueron descritas en el calendario de la Piedra del Sol encontrado en el año 1790 en lo que es hoy Ciudad México. En 20 exquisitos dibujos en pincel negro y blanco, por Ianna Andréadis, y una pintura a todo color de la Piedra del Sol, por Felipe Dávalos, el calendario azteca cobra vida. Cada mes se presenta en inglés, español y nahuatl, y el texto aporta contexto a las imágenes. Este libro es una maravillosa introducción a la magia de la cosmologÃa azteca, un recurso cautivador para niños estudiantes de las culturas mesoamericanas, y un regalo fascinante para cualquier persona interesada en los aztecas y en sus interpretaciones del tiempo.
