Los intelectuales católicos y el fin de la cristiandad

En estas páginas se presenta una selección de los párrafos más iluminados de la Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva España. Se trata de las descripciones más apasionadas y asombrosas que se quedarían para siempre en la memoria del cronista. Aquí se perciben el azoro ante lo desconocido, la admiración ante las grandezas del mundo mexica, la sentida importancia que el autor confiere a los hechos en los que participa y todo un vértigo de colores, sabores, edificios y multitudes que no parecen sino cosas de encantamiento.

Michael D. Coe, uno de los mas importantes mayologos de la actualidad, relata en este libro la historia de lo que el considera "una de las aventuras intelectuales mas interesantes de nuestro tiempo": una historia polemica, de enfrentamientos intelectuales entre los distintos expertos que, si bien con ideas distintas, a veces directamente opuestas, participaron en la ardua labor del desciframiento de los glifos mayas. Knorosov, Thompson y Proskouriakoff, protagonistas de esta aventura, aparecen retratados finamente por Coe en este libro.
