Synopsis "Hernán Cortés. Inventor de México"

Juan Miralles se ha dedicado durante casi treinta años a investigar sobre el personaje del conquistador y nos entrega la que tal vez sea la primera biografía exhaustiva de Cortés, la que hace un mayor acopio de los testimonios de primera mano de los cronistas y desecha los dudosos o apócrifos para trazar un retrato crítico y ponderado del personaje. Miralles intenta reconstruir todos los aspectos de la vida de Cortés a partir de una información copiosísima. No hay asunto que quede en la sombra hasta donde es posible averiguar la verdad histórica con los documentos disponibles: desde el contexto histórico español de la época (su hidalguía, su educación en pleno Renacimiento castellano o la obsesión de aquel entonces por la limpieza de sangre), hasta la propia gesta de la conquista, seguida paso a paso tanto en su dimensión heroica como militar y humana. Tampoco descuida esta biografía los aspectos más íntimos del personaje, como sus relaciones sentimentales y su vida amorosa, y revela un final desdichado, a pesar de sus logros, que mueve al lector incluso a la conmiseración.

Juan Miralles Ostos (Tampico, Mexico, 1930 – Mexico City, 2011) was a Mexican diplomat and historian, known for his studies on the conquest of Mexico. After graduating in Political and Social Sciences from UNAM, he joined the diplomatic service in 1955, holding various positions, including ambassador to Ecuador. Upon retirement, he fully dedicated himself to historical research, collaborating with media outlets and publishing essays focused on key figures of Mexican history.

Among his most notable works are Hernán Cortés: inventor of Mexico (2001), La Malinche: root of Mexico (2004), And Bernal lied (2008) and The five routes of Hernán Cortés. Additionally, he edited and prefaced classic texts such as Chronicle of New Spain by Francisco Cervantes de Salazar and History of the conquest of Mexico by Francisco López de Gómara. His approach combines academic rigor with an accessible narrative, significantly contributing to the genre of historical and biographical essay in Spanish language.
