Aztec Myths & Tales (Gothic Fantasy)

This book of collected stories explores the great myths of Mesoamerican civilizations. This collection presents classic texts on the history, culture, gods, calendar, myths, and tales of the Aztecs, Incas, Mayans, and other Mesoamerican, Central American, and Andean peoples. Though the Olmecs were the first civilization in Mexico, the Aztecs (1325–1521) were Mesoamerica’s last dominant indigenous civilization. Like other Mesoamerican cultures, Aztec gods and myths reflected a natural philosophy, linking life and death to the earth, sky, and sea in a grand cosmic scheme. The book features a giftable hardcover format that has debossed foil patterning.
