Le Clezio, is a French novelist who has studied pre-Columbian Mexico for many years. In this unusual work he conjures the dream that was the religion of the Aztecs and its encounter with the dream of the conquistadores, imagining how the thought of early Indian civilizations might have evolved if not for the interruption by European conquest.
