Хагабула

Hernán Cortés and his conquistadors cross the New World towards the mountain of the Aztecs, through a dreamlike, enchanted reality that leads to unforeseen revelations on a cosmic scale. Part adventure story, part philosophical and fantastic tale, the novel asks about the edges of the world and of history, humanity's break with the primal forces of life and nature, the endurance of desire, and the role of women in a doomed world made by men. Along the way it touches on how Europeans treat other cultures and other living beings, and one of Cortés's companions goes through strange metamorphoses.
