书籍简介

1519 年，征服者埃尔南·科尔特斯和他的军队进入了水上城市特诺克斯蒂特兰（今天的墨西哥城），这是一个充满幻觉、启示的殖民复仇故事。

西班牙人受邀与冷酷的公主阿托托克斯特利（皇帝蒙特苏马的妹妹和妻子）共进礼仪餐，他们几乎在进入城市和迷宫般的宫殿时搞砸了。不久，科尔特斯的一位船长贾兹明·卡尔德拉开始质疑他们受到欢迎的轻松程度，并怀疑活着离开的风险，更不用说征服帝国了。

蒙特苏马本人正处于政治、精神和身体的十字路口，依靠致幻剂寻求来自神的任何答案。当科尔特斯和蒙特苏马相遇时，两个世界、帝国、语言和可能的未来发生了碰撞。

《梦见帝国》将特诺克斯蒂特兰的高峰状态带入现实，并重新构想了它的命运。

它点燃了征服的时刻，并将其变成了革命的时刻，这部小说如此激动人心、如此独特，让人感觉就像一场梦。

娜塔莎·维默译

In 1519, Conquistador Hernán Cortés and his troops ride into the floating city of Tenoxtitlan – today’s Mexico City – in this hallucinatory, revelatory, colonial revenge story.

Invited to a ceremonial meal with the steely princess Atotoxtli, sister and wife of the emperor Moctezuma, the Spanish nearly bungle their entrance into the city and its labyrinthine palace. Soon, one of Cortés’s captains, Jazmín Caldera, begins to question the ease with which they were welcomed, and wonders at the risks of getting out alive, much less conquering the empire.

Moctezuma himself is at a political, spiritual and physical crossroads, relying on hallucinogens in a quest for any kind of answer from the gods. When Cortés and Moctezuma meet, two worlds, empires, languages, and possible futures collide.

You Dreamed of Empires brings to life Tenoxtitlan at its height – and reimagines its destiny.

It sets afire the moment of conquest and turns it into a moment of revolution, in a novel so electric and so unique that it feels like a dream.
