Lake Netzahualcóyotl

It was Lake Texcoco, which Felipe Martínez Arango calls "of Netzahualcóyotl", it is the space selected to show the Mesoamerican greatness. It is the reconstruction of the historical landscape of different cultures and peoples, taking the poet and military king Netzahualcóyotl as the guiding thread to intertwine the evolution of different towns and cities such as Texcoco and Tenochtitlán.
The Lake of Netzahualcóyotl is a text close to poetic prose. With precise adjectives, the author describes the natural environment, the site of the events he narrates. It allows to know the characteristics of the towns that developed in the surrounding space and their role in history; rhetoric that is only possible when there is extensive knowledge and expertise based on scientific dialogue.
It is a work of great aesthetic and historical value, useful for a wide public interested in Archeology and pre-Hispanic subjects, but also for students of art, history, letters and others related to the humanities. Also attached are the original photographs of the second edition of this book (Universidad de Oriente, 1955), and others, all unpublished, from Martínez's visits to Mexico.
