«Así vivían los aztecas» is the history book by Manuel Lucena Salmoral, published in 1992 by Anaya Infantil in paperback (96 pages, in Spanish).
It explains the daily life and customs of the Aztecs and the mystery of their urban civilization in central Mexico, which intrigued the conquistadors. It describes the capital, formed by Tenochtitlán and Tlatelolco, with markets, baths, gardens and temples. It presents Aztec culture as a synthesis of an evolution without contact with other civilizations.
It belongs to the Biblioteca básica de historia collection, under the heading Vida Cotidiana. Manuel Lucena Salmoral was a professor of History of the Americas at the University of Alcalá de Henares.
For young readers or those starting out in the history of the Aztecs: its brevity and informative tone make it work as an introduction.
