In this work of Timur Dmitrievich you will again encounter the great Montezuma, with whom you probably met as a child, reading an interesting adventure novel by Henry Ryder haggard "Daughter of Montezuma".

I liked how the author describes in detail the unique expedition of Cortes on the borders of the vast Empire of Montezuma. Acquaints the reader with the flotilla Grijalva warlike Republic of Tlaxcala, situated between the coast, where they landed, the Spaniards and the Central valley of the Aztecs with their capital of Tenochitlan.

From the novel we learn about the brave Conquistador Francisco Pizarro, who participated in the opening and development of the areas of the Panama isthmus. Participants of such expeditions were conquered by the beauty and wealth of luxurious palaces, temples and buildings of the magnificent capital, the length and correctness of the location of its streets and squares, the General order and visible amenities, as well as the obvious solvency of its inhabitants, and all this took place at the beginning of the XV century.

Meet Pedro de Candia — the first person from the expedition Pizarro, who in 1527 had the courage to land in Tumbes among the Indians of the Inca Empire, and pave the way for entry into Peru throughout the expedition. Dmitrichev very accurately and in detail describes this talented ambitious Greek, who finished the hardest hike in complete failure, but he alone managed to bring back almost all of the Spaniards.

And how many in the novel geographical details, the actual material:

This Fort will later become the capital of the Republic of Paraguay.
