«Le Rêve mexicain ou La Pensée interrompue» is the essay by J. M. G. Le Clézio, published by Gallimard in 1992 in paperback (273 pages, in French).
In 1517, Moctezuma's envoys receive Cortés; from that encounter comes a reflection on the destruction of indigenous civilisation, colonisation and the dream shared by victors and vanquished. Le Clézio follows that dream in Bernal Díaz, Sahagún and Artaud, asking what the world would have been without that silence.
Essay originally published in 1988; this 1992 edition belongs to Gallimard's Folio Essais collection (no. 178).
A work for readers interested in the history of the conquest of Mexico, philosophy and cultural criticism.
