Las mil y una noches, es una de las obras más emblemáticas y fascinantes del imaginario literario universal. Se trata de una colección de cuentos, y aunque no tiene un autor único ni una versión definitiva, ha influido profundamente en la literatura, el cine, el arte y la cultura popular de Oriente y Occidente durante siglos. Su riqueza tematica, su estructura narrativa envolvente y su fusion de mitos, leyendas y elementos de la vida cotidiana la convierten en una obra atemporal.Los relatos que componen Las mil y una noches provienen de tradiciones orales y literarias muy antiguas. Su nucleo mas antiguo se remonta probablemente a la India y a Persia, y fue transmitido a traves del persa en una obra perdida llamada "Mil leyendas". Cuando este corpus llego al mundo arabe, especialmente a Bagdad durante el califato Abasi (siglos VIII y IX), empezo a recibir una forma literaria mas estable, enriqueciendose con elementos de la cultura arabe, asi como con aportaciones egipcias y sirias.La estructura general de Las mil y una noches se construye en torno a una historia marco: el sultan Shahriar, tras descubrir la infidelidad de su esposa, decide casarse cada dia con una mujer nueva, a la que ejecuta al amanecer para evitar ser nuevamente traicionado. Sherezade, hija del visir, se ofrece voluntariamente para casarse con el. Durante la noche, comienza a contarle una historia, pero la interrumpe justo antes del desenlace, obligando al rey a postergar su ejecucion para conocer el final. Asi, cada noche, durante mil y una noches, Sherezade narra historia tras historia, muchas de las cuales contienen a su vez otros cuentos en su interior. Este recurso de narracion encadenada o "relato dentro del relato" no solo mantiene viva la atencion del lector, sino que se convierte en simbolo del poder transformador de la palabra, capaz incluso de cambiar el corazon de un tirano.

**THE FIRST AND ONLY BIOGRAPHY OF DUTCH FORMULA ONE WUNDERKIND MAX VERSTAPPEN, CHARISMATIC WINNER OF THE 2021 FORMULA ONE TITLE** Few drivers have ever shaken up Formula 1 in quite the same way as Max Verstappen. Already the youngest competitor in F1 history, having made his breakthrough in 2015 aged just 17, his debut race for Red Bull at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix saw him become the youngest driver ever to win a race, achieve a podium finish or even lead a lap. As the son of F1 legend Jos and elite-level kart driver Sophie Kumpen, Max was destined to be a racing driver. And since that headline-grabbing debut, he has continued to make an indelible impression on the sport, courting criticism and plaudits in equal measure. Sports journalist James Gray seeks to understand the outspoken nature and aggressive driving style that make Verstappen a must-watch before, during and after races, and why his Dutch fans, who turn up to cheer him on in their orange-clad droves, are quite so fanatical.

This book is an extended study, in the Post-Reformation period, of the impact of the Gaels in the west of Scotland and the north of Ireland on each others religious heritage. Beginning half a century before the plantation of Ulster, Missions to the Gaels illuminates the origins of the sectarian divisions in Northern Ireland. The research deals with both Protestants and Catholics, rather than treating only one denomination in isolation. The author explores the intriguing situation whereby Scottish Gaelic-speaking ministers laid the foundations of the embryonic Protestant Church in Ireland, while at the same time Irish-speaking priests were almost exclusively responsible for the reintroduction of Catholicism to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. The range of this book extends beyond narrow ecclesiastical issues: it reveals the broader political and cultural forces that determined the Gaels choice of religious alignment and traces the effects of these over two centuries of turbulent change in Gaelic society.
