This book is an illustrated version of the original The Fair God, or, the last of the 'Tzins by Lew Wallace. “The Spanish Calendar is simpler than the Aztecan. In fact, Christian methods, of whatever nature, are better than heathen. So, then, by the Spanish Calendar, March, 1519, had about half spent itself in the valley of Anahuac, which was as yet untrodden by gold-seeker, with cross-hilted sword at his side, and on his lips a Catholic oath. Near noon of one of its fairest days a traveller came descending the western slope of the Sierra de Ahualco. Since the dawn his path had been amongst hills and crags; at times traversing bald rocks that towered to where the winds blew chill, then dipping into warm valleys, where were grass, flowers, and streamlets, and sometimes forests of cedar and fir,—labyrinths in which there reigned a perpetual twilight.”
The Fair God Or the Last of the 'Tzins Illustrated eBook Lew Wallace
I like this book very much. Lew Wallace's book "Ben Hur, a Tale of the Christ" is my favorite book -- and I'm now trying to read all of his books that I can find. The Fair God was one of his earlier books and it is excellent, telling the story of the conquest of Mexico by Cortez. I recommend this book.Product details

The Fair God Or the Last of the 'Tzins Illustrated eBook Lew Wallace Reviews
A very well-written and researched novel written by the future author of Ben-Hur. This was the first of Wallace's three novels, focusing on the collision between the Aztec Empire and Spain's Hernando Cortez.
A young adventurer from the northern edge of the Aztec empire arrives in Tenochtitlan hoping to become a soldier for one of the empire's leading Lords (Tzins). As he does, he finds himself in the middle of the climax of the Aztec Empire. Word has reached the Emperor that strangers have landed on the eastern coast, led by one who may be the god who left 200 years earlier promising to eventually return.
I thought I was buying an original book, in 'new' condition. Instead, I got a newly printed paperback and the print is too small. I can't see to read it, even with my reading glasses. If I had gotten an original printing, it would be small type but I could read it. I'm very disappointed and discouraged.
The copy I received from ordering this book via Prime has print that is extremely small and very difficult to read. I had to return it.
Ben- Hur Greatest book of 1800's....
The spiritual roots of th conquest of Mexico by Hernan Cortez. A worthwhile read.
great!!!
