Book excerpt: Cartagena has been one of the most important cities in Colombia since its founding in the 16th century and, at certain times, competed with Bogota for political power.

Its fortified structure gives the current identity to this coastal city and acts as a magnet for international tourism.

This book was released on 2013-09-07 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OVER A CENTURY OF PEACE HAS FREED Cartagena from its ever-present fear of military attack. Today, its ramparts are picturesque reminders of bygone days; and the presence of the Colombian naval fleet no more than an adornment to a pleasant setting. In Colonial times Cartageneros had a different perception: they lived for over two hundred years under protection of stone structures laid out to discourage the enemy, and for them, the city’s defenses were much more than a quaint sight. Spanish officials and merchants, clergymen and artisans, and even slaves, knew too well that fortresses correctly designed, solidly built, wisely equipped and, of course, well defended were essential for protection of life, honor and property.
Book Synopsis 500 Years of Tragedy by : Santiago Martinez Concha
Download or read book 500 Years of Tragedy written by Santiago Martinez Concha and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-28 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story inspired by true facts, although some names are fictitious, the account of sea battles and historical events that molded the northern part of the South American continent are rigorously true. The history of Cartagena, the Spanish and English confrontations, the pirates, the department of El Choc�, the Atrato River and the historic facts about the Darien are also true. Also, I tried to maintain my equanimity in all which is narrated here. The amazing story of Blas de Lezo and Olavarrieta, the most courageous sea captain of all times is also told here with numerous details in order to prove his bravery during the site of Cartagena. The monstrous defeat suffered by Admiral Vernon in 1741 when he attacked the city and humiliated England to its most, was researched with the utmost care and described here with respect as a lesson of bravery and fairness.No one, absolutely no one has more courage and is not bigger as a warrior of the sea than Blas de Lezo and Olavarrieta, born in Pasajes, on February 3, 1689 - in Guip�zcoa - in Euskera -, which is a Spanish province and historical territory of the autonomous community of the Basque Country-, and died in Cartagena de Indias, in Nueva Granada, on September 7, 1741, just under 4 months after the Cartagena site was completed, with 52 years of age. He did not die from any of his injuries but was defeated by the plague that was generated with the decomposed bodies of thousands of mostly English bodies and mercenaries hooked by Admiral Vernon in Jamaica.

Download or read book Jus et Societas written by G.M. Wilner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1979-06-30 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Wolfgang Friedmann died there was a great outpouring of grief, affection and admiration from his friends all over the world. These deeply felt sentiments were soon channelled into a number of projects to honor him. The initiative towards the preparation of this volume in tribute to Wolfgang Friedmann was taken by his colleague, Hans Smit, of Columbia University, who also arranged for its publication. Judge Philip C. Jessup was the chairman, and Professors John N. Hazard, Louis Henkin, Oliver Lissitzyn, Willis L. M. Reese and Hans Smit of Columbia University Law School, A. A. Fatouros of Indiana University Law School (Bloomington), and Gabriel M. Wilner of the University of Georgia Law School were members of the editorial committee. The authors of the essays are a group of distinguished legal scholars from many countries and who hold widely diverse views. All of them had many ties with Professor Friedmann, including those of friendship and shared interest in problems that were of the greatest concern to him. The number of eminent jurists from countries around the world, and particularly from the United States, who would have wished to participate in this tribute to Wolfgang Friedmann is large; however, several important considerations made it necessary to limit the number of contributions. Thus, for example, the work of several members of the editorial committee is not represented in the volume.
