Born in 1402, the ruler-whose name means 'hungry coyote' in the Uto-Aztecan language of Nahuatl-led the city-state of Texcoco through its age of enlightenment. His four-decade reign was among the most transformative and prosperous eras of the Aztec Empire. Today he is a hero in Mexico, seen as a mysterious, powerful, anti-colonial figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrimming with longing, this epic collection of songs and poems was composed by Nezahualcyotl with members of his illustrious court. Six centuries later, in a powerful translation by Ilan Stavans and with new illustrations by Cuauhtemoc Wetzka, twenty-two poems bring to life a young warrior's journey from exile to historical legend. Anguished and unforgettable, Lamentations of Nezahualcyotl will thrill readers of Latin American literature for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46833167630494,"sku":"ADS-9781632063861","price":32.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781632063861.jpg?v=1778651002","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781632063861","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
