Insurgentes

El libro La otra cara de la Luna forma parte de un amplio proyecto concebido por su autor, el Dr. Álvaro Uribe Rueda, y que precede a un texto anterior titulado Bizancio, el dique iluminado, que reflexiona acerca de la concepción mística del universalismo, las raíces judías y helénicas, y la herencia cristiana.

At the juncture of an Excan Tlahltoloyan invasion to Cholula, Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca engage in a violent war when disputing the love of goddess Victoria on the gladiatorial stone, who is manifested as the emissary and harbinger of the fifth sun destruction. Amid rituals and sacrifices, flowery warfare, and tzompantli, love blossoms and dies. The story is complemented by a chilling account of the Battle of Zacatecas and the Jerez fair, where Mexican traditions are illustrated and glorified.

El autor examina las descripciones del emblema fundacional de Tenochtitlan, antecedente del Escudo Nacional, que se encuentran explícitas en las fuentes prehispánicas y en documentación indígena e hispana producida en el periodo colonial. Se indaga cuándo, por qué y en qué circunstancias pudo haberse creado ese símbolo. Se rastrea, asimismo, el itinerario que el emblema del águila y la serpiente siguió durante la Colonia hasta su instauración definitiva como símbolo del actual Estado nacional.
