Mi querido Mart?n, la vida de un hombre es una suma; nada es vacuo, nada es vano, nada es accesorio. Cultiva dos cosas: la memoria y la voluntad.
Hern?n Cort?s toma la pluma nuevamente hacia el final de su vida. Esta vez no se dirige al emperador ni a un numeroso y an?nimo lector, sino a su primog?nito, Mart?n Cort?s, hijo de la Malinche, para contarle su vida. Le habla de su infancia en Medell?n, de sus d?as de estudiante en Salamanca y, por supuesto, de su llegada al Nuevo Mundo y de sus amores con do?a Marina. Acompa?amos a Mart?n en el descubrimiento de sus padres. Hallamos a una mujer dulce y determinada, arquitecta del M?xico moderno. Encontramos a un conquistador victorioso que detesta la guerra y a un hombre poderoso que desconf?a del poder, pues para ?l es s?lo un medio para acceder a la libertad m?s plena. Cort?s le confiesa a su hijo que ha sido muchos hombres, que tiene el alma vagabunda y que ama conquistar. Pero su conquista m?s grande no fue la de un territorio, sino la de la memoria. Gracias a su ingenio pudo salvar para la eternidad la cr?nica de su aventura por el Nuevo Mundo, y as? dej? escrita, bajo el manto protector de un artificioso seud?nimo, su Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva Espa?a. Con esta novela, el historiador Christian Duverger completa la desmitificaci?n de Hern?n Cort?s. Rigurosamente basados en los archivos y las cr?nicas del siglo XVI, los hechos de esta autobiograf?a ficcional reflejan a un literato, a un hombre del Renacimiento absolutamente cautivado por el mundo ind?gena y, sobre todo, convencido de que el mestizaje era la clave para forjar una realidad mejor. Memorias de Hern?n nos recuerda que, en ocasiones, s?lo la ficci?n puede desentra?ar la historia verdadera. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "My dear Mart?n, a man's life is a sum; nothing is vacuous, nothing is vain, nothing is accessory. Cultivate two things: memory and will."
Hern?n Cort?s picks up his pen yet again towards the end of his life. This time not addressing the emperor nor a vast anonymous reader, but his firstborn, Mart?n Cort?s, Malinche's son, to tell him about his life. He recounts his childhood in Medell?n, his schooldays in Salamanca, and of course his arrival at the New World and his affair with Do?a Marina. We accompany Mart?n's discovery of his parents. We find a sweet and determined woman, the architect of modern Mexico. We find a victorious conquistador who detests war, and a powerful man who distrusts power, mere means to access the most absolute freedom. Cort?s confesses to his son that he has been many men, has a wandering soul, and loves to conquer. And his greatest conquest was not of the land, but of remembrance. Through his wit, he managed to salvage for eternity the chronicles of his adventures in the New World, and so wrote, under the protecting cloak of an ingenious pseudonym, his own True History of the Conquest of New Spain. With this novel, historian Christian Duverger ends Hern?n Cort?s' demystification. Strictly based on archival research and sixteenth-century chronicles, the facts found in this fictional autobiography reflect a man of letters, a Renaissance man absolutely enthralled by the indigenous world, and above all, convinced that miscegenation was the key to forge a better reality. Hern?n's Memoirs reminds us that, on occasion, only fiction can unravel the actual history.
