"In Daily Life of the Aztecs, Frances Berdan and Michael Smith offer a view into the
lives of real people, doing very human things, in the unique cultural world of Aztec
central Mexico. The first section focuses on people from an array of social classes
- the emperor, a priest, a feather worker, a merchant, a farmer, and a slave - who
interacted in the economic, social and religious realms of the Aztec world. In the
second section, the authors examine four important life events where the lives of
these and others intersected: the birth and naming of a child, market day, a day at
court, and a battle. Through the microscopic views of individual types of lives, and
interweaving of those lives into the broader Aztec world, Berdan and Smith recreate
everyday life in the final years of the Aztec Empire"
