No puede entenderse cabalmente el contenido del texto biblico sin conocer la geografia, las instituciones, las costumbres y los medios de vida propios de aquella epoca. Este libro aporta de una forma facil, pero precisa y cientificamente bien contrastada, esa informacion.

The first, authoritative history of Spain's darkest period. In a work of meticulous scholarship and research, Paul Preston, the world's foremost historian of 20th-century Spain, charts how and why Franco and his supporters set out to eliminate all 'those who do not think as we do' - some 200,000 innocent men, women and children across Spain.

It is 1837, and for the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain and his rag-tag piratecrew, life on the high seas has gotten a little dull. With nothing to do but twiddle their hooks and lounge aimlessly on tropical beaches, the Captain decides it' s time they had an adventure. A surprisingly successful boat raid leads them to the young Charles Darwin, in desperate need of their help. And so the pirates set forth for London in a bid to save the scientist from the evil machinations of a diabolical Bishop. There they encounter grisly murder, vanishing ladies, the Elephant Man - and have an exciting trip to the zoo.

Part Secret History, part Brideshead Revisited for the 21st century, The Bellwether Revivals is a page-turning, romantic, eerie tale of genius and, possibly, madness; a stunning debut for fans of Sarah Waters, Donna Tartt, and Lauren Goff. The Bellwether Revivals opens and closes with bodies. The story of whose bodies and how they come to be spread about an elegant house on the river near Cambridge is told by Oscar, a young, bright working class man who has fallen in love with an upper-class Cambridge student, Iris, and thereby become entangled with a group of close friends, led by Iris's charismatic, brilliant, possibly dangerous brother. For Eden Bellwether believes he can heal -- and perhaps more -- through the power of music. In this masterful debut, we too are seduced by this gilded group of young people, entranced by Eden's powerful personality and his obvious talent as a musician, and caught off guard by the strangeness of Iris and Eden's parents. And we find ourselves utterly unsure as to whether Eden Bellweather is a saviour or a villain, and whether Oscar will be able to solve this mystery in time to save himself, if not everyone else.

Harry Chapman is not well, and he doesn't like hospitals. Furthermore, Dr Pereira's wonder drug is causing some strange side effects: he can hear more than the usual quotient of voices. First, it is his mother, acerbic and disappointed in him as ever, but then more and more voices add their differing notes and stories to the chorus, squabbling, cajoling and commenting. Friends from childhood, lovers, characters from novels and poetry, Virginia Woolf and a man who wants to sell him T.S Eliot's teeth. Written with a gentle, effortless generosity, full of delicate observation, Chapman's Odyssey is the work of a master; a superbly rendered act of storytelling and ventriloquism that is both witty and deeply moving.

No se trata de un catálogo de pintura, ni siquiera de una historia de la pintura, o de la biografía de los pintores, se trata de un recorrido pictórico por Toledo. Un repaso de algunos de los innumerables cuadros de Toledo y pensar sobre ellos, dice Luis Peñalver Alhambra, autor del libro.Señala que El Greco fue el primer artista que vio Toledo con ojos de pintor. A partir de las pinturas del Greco y de su redescubrimiento por los romanticos, Toledo, que era vista como una ciudad exotica, con algunos toques orientales fue tambien descubierta por los artistas romanticos y desde ese momento se convierte en un destino para los pintores, primero los viajeros internacionales, y despues tambien los grandes nombres de la pintura nacional como por ejemplo Zuloaga o Sorolla.La obra cuenta con cerca de un centenar de ilustraciones, entre las que no estan todas las que son, porque ademas de ser una tarea descomunal, resultaria muy costosa su edicion y en estos tiempos de crisis no es lo mas facil.
