Description
"Author Duncan Tonatiuh reimagines one of Mexico's . . . legends. Princess Izta had many wealthy suitors but dismissed them all. When a mere warrior, Popoca, promised to be true to her and stay always by her side, Izta fell in love. The emperor promised Popoca if he could defeat their enemy Jaguar Claw, then Popoca and Izta could wed. When Popoca was near to defeating Jaguar Claw, his opponent sent a messenger to Izta saying Popoca was dead. Izta fell into a deep sleep and, upon his return, even Popoca could not wake her. As promised Popoca stayed by her side"--Provided by publisher.
Description
"Itza era la princesa más hermosa de la tierra, y muchos pretendientes viajaban de todas partes para cortejarla. Aun siendo la hija del emperador, Itza no quería casarse con un hombre de poder y riqueza. En cambio, se enamoró de Popoca, un valiente guerrero que peleaba en el ejército de su padre, quien no le ofreció riquezas, sino la promesa de quedarse a su lado para siempre. El emperador no quería que su hija se casara con un simple guerrero, aunque reconocía la valentía de Popoca. Por lo que le ofreció un trato: si el guerrero lograba derrotar a su enemigo, Garra de Jaguar, entonces el emperador les permitiría casarse a Itza y a Popoca. Pero Garra de Jaguar tenía un plan para frustrar al guerrero. ¿Estará todo perdido? Hoy existen dos majestuosos volcanes, Popocatépetl e Iztaccíhuatl, que pueden verse desde la Ciudad de México. Ellos han sido admirados y venerados por muchas generaciones, dando origen a varias historias y mitos acerca de su creación. En La princesa y el guerrero, el premiado autor e ilustrador Duncan Tonatiuh nos relata una de las leyendas mas queridas de México."--Jacket flap.
