Mi querido Martín, 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.»

Hernán Cortés toma la pluma nuevamente hacia el final de su vida. Esta vez no se dirige al emperador ni a un numeroso y anónimo lector, sino a su primogénito, Martín Cortés, hijo de la Malinche, para contarle su vida. Le habla de su infancia en Medellín, de sus días de estudiante en Salamanca y, por supuesto, de su llegada al Nuevo Mundo y de sus amores con doña Marina.

Acompañamos a Martín en el descubrimiento de sus padres. Hallamos a una mujer dulce y determinada, arquitecta del México moderno. Encontramos a un conquistador victorioso que detesta la guerra y a un hombre poderoso que desconfía del poder, pues para él es sólo un medio para acceder a la libertad más plena.

Cortés le confiesa a su hijo que ha sido muchos hombres, que tiene el alma vagabunda y que ama conquistar. Pero su conquista más grande no fue la de un territorio, sino la de la memoria. Gracias a su ingenio pudo salvar para la eternidad la crónica de su aventura por el Nuevo Mundo, y así dejó escrita, bajo el manto protector de un artificioso seudónimo, su Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva España.

Con esta novela, el historiador Christian Duverger completa la desmitificación de Hernán Cortés. Rigurosamente basados en los archivos y las crónicas del siglo XVI, los hechos de esta autobiografía ficcional reflejan a un literato, a un hombre del Renacimiento absolutamente cautivado por el mundo indígena y, sobre todo, convencido de que el mestizaje era la clave para forjar una realidad mejor. Memorias de Hernán nos recuerda que, en ocasiones, sólo la ficción puede desentrañar la historia verdadera.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"My dear Martín, a man's life is a sum; nothing is vacuous, nothing is vain, nothing is accessory. Cultivate two things: memory and will."

Hernán Cortés 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, Martín Cortés, Malinche's son, to tell him about his life. He recounts his childhood in Medellín, his schooldays in Salamanca, and of course his arrival at the New World and his affair with Doña Marina.

We accompany Martín'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.

Cortés 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 Hernán Cortés' 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. Hernán's Memoirs reminds us that, on occasion, only fiction can unravel the actual history.

Ultimate Relief for Dry Skin!
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I recently purchased the Vaseline Men's Healing Moisture Hand & Body Lotion for my husband, and it has quickly become a household favorite! If you're on the hunt for a fast-absorbing, effective solution for dry or cracked skin, look no further. First and foremost, the speed at which this lotion absorbs into the skin is impressive. No greasy residue, just instant relief. My husband, who is usually hesitant about using lotions, loves how this one doesn't leave a sticky or oily feeling. It's a game-changer for him, and I've noticed a significant improvement in the moisture levels of his skin. The healing properties are remarkable. His hands, which are prone to dryness and cracking, have become noticeably softer and smoother since using this lotion. The formula is gentle yet powerful, making it an ideal solution for daily use without causing any irritation. The subtle, masculine fragrance is another plus. It's not overpowering but leaves a fresh and clean scent that lingers just enough. The pump dispenser is practical and ensures that the lotion is dispensed in the right quantity, preventing unnecessary waste. The size of the bottle is generous, offering great value for the price. With daily use, the lotion has lasted longer than expected, proving that a little goes a long way. It has become a staple in my husband's grooming routine, and I can confidently say that his skin has never looked or felt better. In conclusion, Vaseline Men's Healing Moisture Hand & Body Lotion is a five-star product that delivers on its promises. If you're searching for a reliable, fast-absorbing lotion for dry or cracked skin, this is the one. My husband is a satisfied customer, and we'll definitely be repurchasing in the future.

Works great, smells good, and does not leave you feeling slimy or greasy.
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
This stuff is the best for men who do not like feeling greasy when they use lotion. It works good for healing and preventing cracking and drying of skin, but it may have to be applied multiple times a day for people with very dry skin.

Great price for a product that I have used and liked for years. Lotion dries quickly and has nice masculine scent. In addition to moisturizing my hands, I also use it for aftershave lotion on my face.

Lot of Waste but Great Lotion
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3), Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I have eczema and have tried dozens of lotions, and this one works great for me. The reason I have settled on this one is that it works great for my skin, not greasy, and I like the smell, not being too strong and feminine like most lotions. My only complaint is that there is a ton of leftover lotion in the bottom that the pump can't reach. I have the cut the bottle open each time so I don't waste it.
