دانلود کتاب Malinalli 2025

Malinalli by Veronica Chapa is a historical fantasy novel that reimagines the life of one of Mexico’s most controversial figures. Known by many names—Malinalli, Malintzin, La Malinche—she was a Nahua interpreter who aided Hernán Cortés during the Spanish conquest. In this retelling, Malinalli is portrayed as a young girl kidnapped into slavery at age twelve, blessed with magical powers, and supported by a circle of priestesses. She strives to protect her people’s legacy amidst the devastation caused by both the Spanish and Moctezuma’s greed and cruelty.

As Malinalli navigates her complex roles—sister, priestess, slave, interpreter—she grapples with her identity and the heavy burden of her position. Her journey is one of survival, resilience, and the pursuit of agency in a world that seeks to define her. Through vivid prose, Chapa offers a tale rich in magic, sisterhood, and the enduring spirit of a woman reclaiming her narrative¹.
