Collection "Guide des Belles Lettres des Civilisations". Human sacrifices, the siege of Tenochtitlan, the feathered serpent: Aztec civilization has its clichéd images, which tend to mask more subtle successes. At the head of a great political and economic empire, but also heirs to cultures prior to their own, whose contributions they brilliantly synthesized and sometimes even improved, the Aztecs were able to develop a profoundly original way of thinking and vision of the world, which find echoes even in the culture of contemporary Mexico.
