Ensayo sobre el último año en el poder de Porfirio Díaz.Del autor de la novela Paraíso es tu memoria, Rafael Tovar y de Teresa.El último brindis de Don Porfirio, ilustrado con más de 150 imágenes, muchas de ellas ineditas, es la cronica del ultimo año de un gobernante que no supo despedirse a tiempo.Hace cien años, Porfirio Diaz se fijo objetivos claros para celebrar el Centenario de la Independencia. Recordar el movimiento libertario no seria lo unico sino tambien mostrar al mundo que sus treinta años en el gobierno -bajo el credo "orden, paz y progreso"- habian transformado al pais en una nacion estable y respetada con credito internacional, en pujante progreso y marcada por los aires modernizadores que soplaban en el mundo al iniciar el siglo XX.Mas alla de las elegantes fiestas, la celebracion dejo huella en mas de mil quinientas poblaciones que se beneficiaron de cuando menos una muestra material y tangible de infraestructura con significado civico e historico. Se logro que los diversos sectores de la sociedad fueran parte de la conmemoracion a la que se sumaron delegaciones extranjeras que dejaron testimonio de su aprecio y respeto por Mexico. Sin embargo, este festejo digno de un gran pais no pudo contener lo evidente, pronto estallaria una violenta revolucion que mostraria los dos rostros de Mexico: el del inicio del progreso y el de la profunda desigualdad social.La critica ha opinado:"El libro de Rafael Tovar es una cronica en toda la extension de la palabra. Un libro que ordena y presenta de manera amena, con un estilo agil y desenfadado, la informacion sustantiva de uno de los momentos mas intensos de la vida institucional de Mexico, aquellos que condujeron de la celebracion del Centenario de nuestra independencia a la salida del pais de quien por mas de 30 años "dicto", como presidente, parte importante de nuestro destino nacional" -Marisa Perez de Sarmiento-"Rafael Tovar y de Teresa ha sintetizado en un año, 1910-1911, el orto y ocaso del porfiriato y su protagonista Porfirio Diaz, que con su corte hizo del centenario de la Independencia su fiesta-funeral. Magnifica dilatacion historica en las superilustradas (con fotografias muy novedosas) 300 paginas del libro El ultimo brindis de Don Porfirio. Su autor nos hace ver y leer la celebracion de aquellos 100 años, que remato con la caida del casi nonagenario caudillo" -Alvaro Cepeda Neri-

Al destacar la continuidad que existe entre el Antiguo Régimen y los acontecimientos de 1789, Alexis de Tocqueville cuestiona, de manera implícita, el mito de la revolución. Poner en tela de juicio es la idea de que una ruptura radical con el pasado, haria posible construir un orden social sobre nuevas bases. Su tesis es que todo cambio social significativo debe entenderse como el resultado de un largo proceso historico.

Presentamos a los lectores académicos y público en general este trabajo de investigación con pretensiones de abarcar espacios y sociedades que en la globalidad permiten hablar de una unidad del Pacífico del Norte de Suramerica entre Colombia y Ecuador, con sus correspondiente valles interandinos del Cauca, Patia y Chota, con los cuales historicamente ha tenido relaciones que en su especificidad muestran los matices creados por la diversidad del medio y por las diversas formas de adaptacion y resistencias de las sociedades negras al medio y a las relaciones conflictivas de dominio que alli se establecieron.

Malos mexicanos aborda la dramática historia de los magonistas, migrantes rebeldes que desencadenaron la Revolución mexicana de 1910 desde los Estados Unidos. Dirigidos por el brillante y temperamental Ricardo Flores Magon, los magonistas organizaron a miles de trabajadores mexicanos y disidentes estadunidenses para su causa. Decididos a derrocar a Porfirio Diaz, los rebeldes tuvieron que escapar y ser mas astutos que el enjambre de autoridades estadunidenses encargado de proteger el regimen del dictador. Los departamentos de Guerra, Estado, Tesoro y Justicia de los Estados Unidos, asi como la policia, los alguaciles y los espias cazaron a los magonistas en todo el pais. La busqueda y la captura de Ricardo Flores Magon fue incluso uno de los primeros casos del Federal Bureau of Investigation.

A magnificent new history of the USA from independence to Trump 2.0Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness... In the 250 years since the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jeffersons unalienable rights have often been thwarted by slavery, war and economic crisis. Yet if today the USA does not always seem to be the shining city on a hill dreamed of by so many, it is unquestionably the worlds most powerful nation a source both of fear and wonder, inspiration and mockery.With elegance and wit, Don Watson dissects the ignominies and triumphs of American history. He traces the course of liberty and justice alongside violence and oppression, showing how a country at war with itself in the 1860s became the leader of the free world less than a century later and the unquiet, riven nation of today.This is the concise, indispensable story of a country whose past has never been more alive.

History of the United States offers a sweeping survey from colonial settlement to the modern state. In lucid, didactic prose, it fuses narrative with analysis, foregrounding the economic and institutional forces that shape politics. Located in Progressive-era historiography, it challenges celebratory myths by attending to class conflict, regional interests, constitutional development, and the changing roles of courts, parties, business, labor, and agrarian protest. Charles A. Beard, a leading Progressive historian, brought to this synthesis the thesis of An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution (1913): that material interests decisively shape public policy. Educated at DePauw and Columbia and long a professor at Columbia before resigning in 1917 over academic freedom, he paired archival rigor with a reformers eye; founding the New School and collaborating with Mary Ritter Beard shaped his focus on social movements and administration. This volume remains a compelling, argument-driven survey of U.S. history. Students and general readers will value its clear architecture and provocations. Read it as both narrative and landmark of historiography to sharpen your sense of how economies, law, and ideas formed the republic.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

In The French Revolution (Vol. 13), Taine anatomizes the upheaval from the Old Regimes collapse to Jacobin ascendancy and the Terror. Mining parish registers, provincial archives, and memoirs, he splices granular case studies with sociological theses, organized by his triad of race, milieu, and moment. The lapidary, polemical style contests Michelets romanticism and converses with Tocqueville within nineteenthcentury positivist history. A philosophercritic (18281893) and later academicien, Taine forged a deterministic method to read culture through heredity, environment, and historical conjuncture. The shocks of 1848, the FrancoPrussian War, and the Paris Commune tempered his view of mass politics. Years in departmental archives supplied the empirical backbone for these volumes within his larger Origins of Contemporary France, explaining how revolutionary passions built a centralized state. Essential for students of political thought, historiography, and state formation, this trilogy offers a bracing, if contested, counterpoint to celebratory tales of 1789. Read critically for its biases and you will find rich sources, unforgettable portraits, and a rigorous model of revolutionary causation.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

History of the Commune of 1871 is a daily anatomy of Pariss revolutionary spring, set against the collapse of the Second Empire and the sieges aftermath. Lissagaray reconstructs the ascent from National Guard insurgency to municipal experiment, tracking debates, decrees, and command failures through committees, clubs, and barricades that culminated in the Semaine sanglante. His style fuses investigative reportage with republican indignation, marshaling minutes, dispatches, and testimony to rebut calumny while acknowledging missteps, situating the Commune within the crises of war, urban governance, and the nascent Third Republic. Prosper-Olivier Lissagaray, a Communard journalist who fought and fled into exile, wrote from the vantage of participant and fact-checker. In London he interviewed survivors, collated archives, and pursued accuracy to counter both reactionary vilification and sentimental myth. His partnership with Eleanor Marx, whose translation helped shape Anglophone reception, and his training in the radical press endowed the book with international reach and a disciplined, combative empiricism. This book is indispensable for historians of social movements, students of urban insurrection, and readers seeking a lucid primary chronicle tempered by critique. Its unsparing portraits of courage, confusion, and repression make it a foundational text for understanding how revolutions are made, remembered, and undone.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

In History of the United States During Thomas Jeffersons Administrations (All 4 Volumes), Henry Adams follows Jeffersons two terms, integrating constitutional conflict, diplomacy, and westward expansion into a taut narrative. He treats Marbury v. Madison, the Louisiana Purchase and Lewis and Clark, the Barbary war, and the commercial confrontation with Britain that culminated in the Embargo. Written with dry irony and documentary rigor, the history sets domestic policy in an Atlantic world, reflecting latenineteenthcentury critical methods while maintaining the momentum of a statesmans chronicle. Scion of the Adams political dynasty and grandson of John Quincy Adams, Henry Adams brought unmatched access to family papers and seasoned diplomatic insight from his service as private secretary to his father in wartime London. A Harvard-trained historian steeped in Rankean source criticism, he fused patrician detachment with empirical discipline, probing the tension between Jeffersonian theory and the compromises that governing power imposes. This four-volume set is indispensable for scholars of the early republic and diplomatic history, and rewarding to informed general readers. Its synthesis, elegance, and archival depth make it a lasting guide to the Jeffersonian experiment under global strain.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.
