  • Montezuma's Daughter, first published in 1892, is a novel by the Victorian adventure writer H. Rider Haggard. Narrated in the first person by Thomas Wingfield, an Englishman whose adventures include having his mother murdered by his Spanish cousin Juan de Garcia, a brush with the Spanish Inquisition, shipwreck, and slavery. Eventually, Thomas unwillingly joins a Spanish expedition to New Spain, and the novel tells a fictionalized story of the first interactions between the natives and European explorers. This includes a number of misunderstandings, prejudice on the part of the Spaniards, and ultimately open war. During the course of the story, Thomas meets and marries Otomie,the daughter of the native king from whom the novel takes its title, and settles into life in Mexico. The war destroys his native family, and after his nemesis, Otomie, and his five children perish that Wingfield returns to England and weds Lily Bozard, the English betrothed of his youth. While Haggard was in Mexico in 1891, doing research for the book, he received news that his only son had died, which dealt him a lasting blow and badly affected his health. Haggard later wrote that Montezuma's Daughter was the last of his best work "for the rest was repetition so far as fiction was concerned". Like many Victorian adventure novels, this one sometimes treats the natives as naïve and barbaric, but this is a flaw Haggard explicitly points out in his main character. (en)

  • «Дочь Монтесумы» (англ. Montezuma's Daughter) — исторический роман Генри Райдера Хаггарда, опубликованный в 1893 году. Его действие происходит на фоне завоевания Мексики Кортесом, во времена правителя Монтесумы. Рассказ ведётся от имени англичанина Томаса Вингфилда, который после ряда приключений оказывается в составе испанской экспедиции к берегам Новой Испании, где перед ним открывается экзотический мир ацтеков. Он берёт в жёны дочь императора и осуществляет план возмездия своему давнему противнику. Как и в других приключенческих романах викторианской эпохи, туземцы показаны как благородные дикари — жестокие, но, в сущности, наивные варвары. Главный герой сочувствует гибели цивилизации, столь не похожей на европейскую, и симпатизирует скорее местным жителям, чем европейским колонистам. (ru)
