GWYNE EDWARDS

Un relato histórico increíblemente vívido de los cuarenta años de lucha entre los indios comanches y los colonos blancos por el control del oeste de Estados Unidos, protagonizado por Quanah, el último jefe comanche. Gwynne abarca en su relato arrollador el colonialismo español, la guerra de Secesión, la destrucción de las manadas de búfalos, y la llegada del ferrocarril: una historia fascinante para los lectores de todas las edades, con rigor de historiador y pulso de novelista.

The word "flamenco" has an international resonance, yet few people know much about flamenco itself - for most it means a colourful Spanish dance but behind the superficial image lies a significant history and evolution. This study explores this history from its earliest beginnings in songs, to its present sophistication in the combination of leading singers and dancers. The religious and ethnic influences on flamenco are analyzed as well as its place in literature, the themes that appear in it songs, its grounding in Andalusia and the 20th-century revival of its basic meaning under the aegis of the poet Lorca and other Spanish notables.
