A Dream of Conquest is a historical novel written by Lloyd Bryce in 1889. The story is set in the early 16th century and revolves around the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire in Mexico. The novel follows the journey of Hern�����n Cort�����s, a Spanish conquistador who leads a small army of soldiers and native allies to overthrow the Aztec ruler, Montezuma II.The novel is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different stage of the conquest. Part one introduces Cort�����s and his men as they land on the shores of Mexico and begin their march towards the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan. Along the way, they encounter various obstacles, including hostile tribes and treacherous terrain.Part two details the siege of Tenochtitlan, which lasts for several months. The Spanish and their allies face fierce resistance from the Aztecs, who are determined to defend their city at all costs. The novel depicts the brutality of the siege, including the use of torture and human sacrifice by both sides.In the final part of the novel, Cort�����s and his men emerge victorious, and the Aztec Empire falls to Spanish rule. The novel ends with Cort�����s reflecting on the conquest and the impact it will have on the future of Mexico.Overall, A Dream of Conquest is a gripping tale of adventure, conquest, and the clash of civilizations. It provides a vivid depiction of the Aztec Empire and the Spanish conquest, and explores the moral and ethical dilemmas faced by both sides.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
