¿Sabías que un gaditano fue el primer cónsul no itálico de Roma?, ¿y que Cádiz llegó a ser la ciudad más importante del imperio tras su capital? ¿Has oído hablar de alguno de los tres Lucios Cornelios Balbo? ¿Como se abrio camino hasta la cima del poder romano una familia de comerciantes de la peninsula iberica? ¿Que teatros y acueductos llevan su sello? ¿Por que se desconoce su historia?Las costas de Gades vieron nacer a una estirpe de grandes mercaderes que, demostrando una singular inteligencia y probando su lealtad, terminarian alcanzando las mas altas esferas politicas en la Urbs Aeterna. En este encomiable trabajo, Francisco Uria rescata, tanto de las limitaciones historiograficas como de las distorsiones ficticias, a tres generaciones sin las que no puede entenderse la leyenda: Lucio Cornelio Balbo el Viejo, el visionario que sento las bases de una notable fortuna y toda una red clientelar; su hijo, el consul Lucio Cornelio Balbo el Mayor, amigo y protegido de Cesar; y su sobrino, Lucio Cornelio Balbo el Menor, audaz militar que, tras vencer en Africa, devendria el primer provincial en celebrar un triunfo en Roma y dejaria un legado de monumentales obras. El presente libro no es solo la epica biografia de una saga que navego las turbulentas aguas del gobierno, los negocios y la guerra, sino una cronica detallada y apasionante de la profunda romanizacion de parte de Hispania y la insolita influencia que una de sus ciudades llego a ostentar en el mundo romano.

En el verano de 1980, pocos dias antes de la ceremonia de apertura de los celebres Juegos Olimpicos boicoteados por multitud de paises tras la invasion sovietica de Afganistan, Liza Klein y su madre abandonan Moscu para pasar tres dias en el campo, pero ni siquiera estas breves vacaciones permiten a la joven descansar de la severa educacion que le impone su protectora madre de origenes aristocraticos. A traves de la relacion entre ambos personajes, la autora revisita lugares olvidados para reconstruir el pasado: ¿que supone haber nacido y crecido en la Union Sovietica?, ¿en que consistia aquella educacion y hasta que punto era, pese a todo, sovietica la que inculcaron a sus vastagos las elites nacidas del deshielo?

A priori, pocos lectores sabrán quiénes son María y Carmen Menéndez ni por qué comparten apellido. La explicación es sencilla: son suegra y esposa, respectivamente, del político Santiago Carrillo, y ambas son las protagonistas de esta historia.¿Y que interes pueden tener sus vidas, practicamente anonimas, se preguntaran quienes sostienen este libro entre las manos? Maria nacio en un pequeño pueblo asturiano, marcado por el caciquismo y la vida rural, y fue victima de una de las peores violencias que puede sufrir una mujer. Aquella experiencia la empujo a marcharse, y fue en Barcelona donde dio a luz a Carmen.En 1939, madre e hija se vieron obligadas a huir a Francia. Alli consolidaron su compromiso con el Partido Comunista. En ese entorno, Carmen conocio a Santiago Carrillo, con quien emprendio una vida compartida en lo personal, lo familiar y lo politico, hasta el final de sus dias.Su hijo menor, Jorge Carrillo Menendez, reconstruye en este relato intimo y conmovedor las vidas de su madre y su abuela. Sus recuerdos familiares se entrelazan con el contexto historico que abarca desde la Segunda Republica, la Guerra Civil y el largo exilio, hasta el franquismo y la Transicion.Abusos de poder, maternidad en solitario, memoria historica, educacion, resistencia y supervivencia femeninas son algunos de los ejes que recorren este relato intergeneracional. Pero, por encima de todo, destaca la lucha, el coraje, la solidaridad y el firme compromiso social de dos mujeres que, pese a las adversidades, dejaron una huella imborrable.

¿Alguna vez te has preguntado si realmente estuvo aquí? ¿Sabías que en España aún resuenan los ecos de sus pasos? ¿Por qué sabemos tanto de sus hazañas en las Galias y permanece en la sombra de la anecdota el sello hispano de su leyenda?Pocas figuras han quedado impresas de forma tan indeleble en nuestra memoria colectiva como la de Cayo Julio Cesar, el politico y general que puso fin a la Republica romana y cuyo nombre se convirtio en sinonimo de poder absoluto en muchas lenguas. Frases como Iacta alea est o Veni, vidi, vici y episodios como el cruce del rio Rubicon o los idus de marzo son universalmente conocidos, pero sorprende que, tristemente, en España no lo sea tanto la relacion que mantuvo Cesar con la vieja Hispania. Desde su llegada a Corduba en 69 a. e. c. como joven cuestor de la Hispania Ulterior, y mas tarde como gobernador, triunviro y dictador, Cesar paso en tierra hispana cuatro intensos periodos, que resultaron decisivos en su carrera y en el curso de la historia de Roma y del mundo antiguo. Este libro es un relato de las vicisitudes que vivio Cesar en nuestro suelo a traves de las huellas que dejo en el, visibles todavia para quienes quieran seguirlas movidos por la curiosidad, la admiracion del pasado o el amor por el patrimonio que compartimos. Un viaje fascinante en busca del Cesar que se forjo en Hispania.
