Summary

In Tierra Misteriosa (Mysterious Land), Astrid Hadad offers her take on hundreds of years of history, from Tenochtitlan, the ancient capital of the Aztec empire, to the Mexico of today, about which she offers penetrating insight with a lot of humor. She says, “I think it’s necessary to keep the spark of humor, the depth of humor, because otherwise life is not worth living.”
