| Summary | "El libro rojo, 1520-1867, Tomo I" by Vicente Riva Palacio et al. is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into significant events of Mexican history, particularly focusing on the period of the Aztec Empire's downfall and the subsequent rise of new powers in the region. The narrative seems to explore the intricacies of political correspondence and notable figures, shedding light on key moments like the encounters between the Aztecs and Spanish conquistadors. The opening of the historical work introduces a fantastical retelling of the Aztec Empire's final days, specifically featuring Emperor Moctezuma II. It begins with vivid descriptions of celestial omens and the atmosphere in Tenochtitlan, detailing Moctezuma's ominous dreams and the reaction of his advisors. As the narrative unfolds, Moctezuma witnesses strange celestial phenomena, prompting a sense of dread about the impending doom facing his empire. The portrayal of Moctezuma, alongside the insights into religious and political beliefs, sets a dramatic tone early in the book, making it apparent that deadlier challenges loom as Hernán Cortés and his forces approach the city.
