Winner of the 2008 Nobel Prize for Literature, J. M. G. Le Clzio here conjures the consciousness of Mexico, powerfully evoking the dreams that made and unmade an ancient culture. Le Clzios haunting book takes us into the dream that was the religion of the Aztecs, a religion whose own apocalyptic visions anticipated the coming of the Spanish conquerors. Here the dream of the conquistadores rises before us, too, the glimmering idea of gold drawing Europe into the Mexican dream. Against the religion and thought of the Aztecs and the Tarascans and the Europeans in Mexico, Le Clzio also shows us those of the barbarians of the north, the nomadic Indians beyond the pale of the Aztec frontier.Finally, Le Clzios book is a dream of the present, a meditation on what in Amerindian civilizationsin their language, in their way of telling tales, of wanting to survive their own destructionmoved the poet, playwright, and actor Antonin Artaud and motivates Le Clzio in this book. His own deep identification with preColumbian cultures, whose faith told them the wheel of time would bring their gods and their beliefs back to them, finds fitting expression in this extraordinary book, which brings the dream around.We are lucky to have in Le Clzio a writer of great quality who brings his particular sensibility and talent here to remind us of the very nature of the rituals and myths of the civilizations of ancient Mexico; he provides us with descriptions as precise as they are mysterious.Le Figaro
