Summary "A Prince of Anahuac: A Histori-traditional Story Antedating the Aztec Empire" by James A. Porter is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around Hualcoyotl, the young prince of Tezcuco, as he navigates the turmoil of his people's subjugation by the despotic Tepanec king, Maxtla. This work not only explores themes of power, identity, and resistance but also delves into the cultural fabric of the pre-Aztec civilization. At the start of the story, Hualcoyotl, living in the shadows of past glory, receives news of the death of the tyrannical Tepanec king, Tezozomoc. This moment ignites both hope and dread, as his successor, Maxtla, is known for his cruelty. With Hualcoyotl's life now in danger due to Maxtla's jealousy and fear of his potential as a leader, he begins to ponder his future actions. The prince's loyal companion, Euetzin, undertakes a risky mission to rally support for a revolt against their oppressors, while Hualcoyotl grapples with the weight of his lineage and the perilous road ahead. The opening chapters set the stage for an engaging narrative filled with intrigue, cultural detail, and the struggle for justice. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
