Daily Life of the Aztecs

Daily Life of the Aztecs on the Eve of the Spanish Conquest 
by Jacques Soustelle

Soustelle's great book about the Aztecs . . . takes us deep into the life of this great society. . . . Soustelle has the rare quality of entering into the minds of those he is studying and seeing things from their point of view. . . . [His] book is one of the best ever written about the Aztecs, his portrait of their society is a triumph of scholarship, understanding, and literary skill.
