Toda la cultura azteca y en particular la ceremonia del sacrificio, sus significados e implicaciones, aparecen bajo una nueva luz en este estudio: pocas veces, según muestra Duverger, una civilización estuvo tan obsesionada por el devenir y por la muerte como la que se asentó en México-Tenochtitlán.

At the juncture of an Excan Tlahltoloyan invasion to Cholula, Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca engage in a violent war when disputing the love of goddess Victoria on the gladiatorial stone, who is manifested as the emissary and harbinger of the fifth sun destruction. Amid rituals and sacrifices, flowery warfare, and tzompantli, love blossoms and dies. The story is complemented by a chilling account of the Battle of Zacatecas and the Jerez fair, where Mexican traditions are illustrated and glorified.
