In the Language of Kings: An Anthology of Mesoamerican Literature, Pre-Columbian to the Present

by Miguel Leon-Portilla (Editor), Earl Shorris (Editor)

About this title: One of the most celebrated scholars of Mesoamerican literature assembled this collection of literary examples from the region, reaching back to the earliest extant materials and concluding with contemporary sources. Aztec poetry, Mayan spiritual writing, and many accounts of the horrors of conquest from the perspective of the Indians, sketch a profound portrait of the region and its people.

Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is described below.
