Black mark on the bottom edge. A richly textured historical novel recounts the story of the love affair between the conquistador Hernan Cortez and Malinalli, his Indian interpreter during the conquest of the Aztec empire, describing her diverse roles as a slave to the Aztecs and as a mediator between two very different languages and cultures. Laura Beatriz Esquivel Valdés (born September 30, 1950) is a Mexican novelist, screenwriter and politician, serving in the LXIII Legislature of the Mexican Congress in the Chamber of Deputies for the Morena Party from 2015 to 2018. Her first novel Como agua para chocolate (Like Water for Chocolate) became a bestseller in Mexico and the United States, and was later developed into an award-winning film. In her novels, Esquivel uses magical realism to combine the ordinary and the supernatural. The famous conquistador Hernando Cortes and his Native American Indian interpreter Malinche become involved in a deadly love affair. Too late Malinche realizes the man she believes to be the reincarnated forefather god of her people and also their salvation is more human than she had thought. Esquivel reveals the truth behind the legendary affair and details the complex role played by Malinche as she tries to bridge the cultural and language gap between her Mexican kinsman and the conquering Spaniards. Esquivel's fourth novel Malinche: novela, translated as Malinche: A Novel (Trans. Ernesto Mestre-Reed, adopts "Malinalli" as the name of the title character, also known as "Doña Marina," whose pejorative title "La Malinche" means "the woman of Malinche," the Aztecs' (Nahuatl) name for Spaniard Hernán Cortés According to critic Ryan Long, Esquivel's naming of her title character and her novel "reflects upon the diverse and unpredictable revisions that [Malinalli/La Malinche's] mythical identity has undergone continuously since the period of the Conquest. . . . seeking a middle ground between Malinalli's autonomy and Malinche's predetermination". The novel's book jacket features an Aztec-style codex designed and executed by Jordi Castells) printed on its interior surface that is meant to represent Malinalli's diary.
