Some years ago I read a book about La Malinche, written by an Argentinean writer. Unfortunately I can't remember the name today. In it, it was told not only the story of La Malinche -or Doña Marina, as she was called by the Spaniards- but also it was told the story of a Spanish Army soldier who become a captain in the Aztec Army. The author explains how both persons had an uncomfortable position at their own original parties, ( La Malinche was a slave destined to be sacrificed to the Aztec Gods) while by changing it, they reached a much more hopeful life.
