Product details
«Los símbolos de fertilidad, abundancia y poder que distinguen a la serpiente emplumada entre los olmecas, mayas y teotihuacanos perduraron en los reinos y culturas posteriores.» Este libro es un recorrido por los cimientos de la identidad de los pueblos mesoamericanos los mitos fundadores, las divinidades que crearon y ordenaron el mundo, los ritos y la forma de organizar el tiempo, y, finalmente, los héroes legendarios. Es un recorrido, pues, por la memoria sagrada del México antiguo. Así como ocurre en los relatos de otras civilizaciones ancestrales, la creación del universo en los mitos mayas, mixtecos y nahuas comienza con un prólogo en el cielo: divinidades etéreas e inmortales hacen el mundo y a los seres humanos desde alturas remotas. Pero una vez cumplida esta misión primordial, los dioses creadores dejan su lugar a divinidades que tienen una relación más directa con las necesidades humanas. Es el caso de dos mitos fundamentales para el México prehispánico el dios del maíz y la serpiente emplumada. El primero, además de representar el triunfo de la vida sobre la muerte, resume las virtudes de un pueblo campesino. La serpiente emplumada, por su parte, es símbolo de fertilidad, pero también de poder y realeza. Finalmente, el libro rastrea la huella histórica de algunos héroes de carne hueso: Ce Ácatl Topiltzin Quetzalcóatl, fundador y gobernante de Tula, y 8 Venado, guerrero notable que unificara toda la Mixteca. Esta obra resume el interés de toda una vida por el México prehispánico. Es ya un libro clave para entender la identidad del México antiguo y para explicar cómo la memoria ancestral cambia y se renueva en el presente. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The symbols of fertility, abundance, and power that distinguish the feathered serpent among the Olmecs, Mayans, and Teotihuacans endured in later kingdoms and cultures. This book is a journey through the foundations of the Mesoamerican peoples' identity the founding myths, the deities that created and ordered the world, the rites and the way of organizing time, and finally, the legendary heroes. It is, therefore, a journey through the sacred memory of ancient Mexico. As in the stories of other ancient civilizations, the creation of the universe in the Mayan, Mixtec, and Nahua legends, begins with a prologue in the sky: ethereal and immortal deities create the world and human beings from far far away. But once this primeval mission is accomplished, the creator gods give way to deities who have a more direct relationship with human needs. Such is the case with two fundamental myths in pre-Hispanic Mexico the god of maize and the feathered serpent. The first, in addition to representing the triumph of life over death, summarizes the virtues of a peasant people. The feathered serpent, for its part, is a symbol of fertility, but also of power and royalty. Finally, the book traces the historical footprint of some flesh-and-blood heroes: Ce Ácatl Topiltzin Quetzalcóatl, founder and ruler of Tula, and 8 Deer, a notable warrio
