«Malinche» is the historical novel by Laura Esquivel published by Edições Asa in paperback (176 pages, in Portuguese).
The novel recreates the story of Malinalli, the indigenous interpreter of Hernán Cortés, torn between love for the conqueror and loyalty to her people during the fall of the Aztec empire. Against the traditional image of the traitor, Laura Esquivel presents her as a mediator between two cultures and two languages, Spanish and Nahuatl.
The novel was originally published in 2005; this Portuguese edition, translated by Helena Pitta, appeared in 2007.
For readers of historical fiction and stories set during the conquest of the Americas and the encounter between cultures.
Laura Beatriz Esquivel Valdés is a Mexican novelist, screenwriter and former politician. Her first novel Como agua para chocolate became a bestseller in Mexico and the United States, and was later developed into an award-winning film.
