Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allá adonde nunca alcanzó a penetrar la mirada del hombre, ni la huella de su pie se ha dejado sentir? O, acaso, sólo las de algún héroe más divino que humano, transportado a esas lejanías por la magia de poderes sobrenaturales. En lugares tan remotos, tan perdidos que causa pavor siquiera imaginarlos. Envueltos en la bruma de los sueños terroríficos, ¿los ha creado quizás nuestra fantasía para encerrar en ellos, ?bajo llave?, a tantos seres horripilantes de los que la razón consciente desea huir?
Book Synopsis The Reality of Women in the Universe of the Ancient Novel by : María Paz López Martínez
Download or read book The Reality of Women in the Universe of the Ancient Novel written by María Paz López Martínez and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume gathers chapters related to the condition of women in the ancient novel. To broaden the perspective, it integrates not only papers dealing with the Greek and Roman novel as a literary genre in its own right, but also as a historical document involving aspects as diverse as history, archaeology, sociology and the history of law. The twenty-six contributions in this volume have been divided into thematic blocks, based on the different approaches that the authors have adopted to tackle the subject. The first block is about realia – the reality in which the fiction has been conceived. The second block focuses on the legal problems that can be deduced from the plots of the novels. The third block encompasses deals with the Greek and Roman novel from the point of view of classical philology, literary criticism and literary theory, with chapters dedicated to the tradition of the ancient novel, both in our most immediate cultural area (Middle Ages, Spanish Golden Age) and in other contexts, whether Indo-European (India, Persia) or of a different origin.
Book Synopsis Amazonas, mujeres guerreras en la mitología by : Jose F. Duran

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El mito de las amazonas surgio en Grecia como el reverso invertido del patriarcado griego. Los griegos pronto ubicaron a las amazonas de sus leyendas en la Capadocia Pontica, pues en Anatolia la condicion de las mujeres parecia ser distinta de la existente en Grecia. Mas tarde, las noticias sobre las guerreras arqueras ecuestres de las estepas seran decisivas en la configuracion definitiva de las amazonas, a las que en lo sucesivo se imaginara como guerreros escitas de sexo femenino a caballo y con el arco como arma principal. El mito de las amazonas y los datos etnograficos sobre las guerreras relacionadas con ellas influiran en las ideas feministas de Platon; tambien en los cinicos y los primeros estoicos. El mito de las amazonas pasara al mundo islamico a traves de las traducciones de obras griegas antiguas y de las noticias que llegaran sobre la Ciudad de las Mujeres (a veces la Isla de las Mujeres). El filosofo Averroes, en su comentario a la Republica de Platon, estara muy influido por las ideas de Platon en su critica social de la situacion de las mujeres y mencionara expresamente la Ciudad de las Mujeres como referente. La cristiandad occidental heredara del viejo mundo grecorromano el mito de las amazonas. En unos casos hara de ellas parte de las huestes del Anticristo, en otros vasallas del Preste Juan. Clavijo creera encontrarlas como subditas de Tamerlan, al confundir a las miticas amazonas con guerreras turcas. Finalmente los conquistadores espanoles proyectaran en el Nuevo Mundo su imaginario sobre las amazonas: California tomara este nombre del pais de las amazonas en un libro de caballerias, y el rio Amazonas recibira esta denominacion por un enfrentamiento armado de los espanoles con guerreras indias, en las que los espanoles creyeron ver a las miticas amazonas.
Book Synopsis A Brief History of the Amazons by : Lyn Webster Wilde
Download or read book A Brief History of the Amazons written by Lyn Webster Wilde and published by Robinson. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Golden-shielded, silver-sworded, man-loving, male-child slaughtering Amazons,' is how the fifth-century Greek historian Hellanicus described the Amazons, and they have fascinated humanity ever since. Did they really exist? For centuries, scholars consigned them to the world of myth, but Lyn Webster Wilde journeyed into the homeland of the Amazons and uncovered astonishing evidence of their historic reality. North of the Black Sea she found archaeological excavations of graves of Iron Age women buried with arrows, swords and armour. In the hidden world of the Hittites, near the Amazons' ancient capital of Thermiscyra in Anatolia, she unearthed traces of powerful priestesses, women-only religious cults, and an armed, bisexual goddess - all possible sources for the ferocious women. Combining scholarly penetration with a sense of adventure, Webster Wilde has produced a coherent and absorbing book that challenges preconceived notions, still disturbingly widespread, of what men and women can do.

Download or read book Conquistadoras written by Carlos B. Vega and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2003-10-02 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though women played an integral role in the conquest of the New World, little has been written about their contributions. This Spanish-language work examines the lives and deeds of women who influenced the course of history in the Americas some 500 years ago. Covered in detail are the lives of Maria de Toledo, first woman governor in America; Isabel de Bobadilla, governor of Cuba and instrumental in the Spanish expedition to Florida; Ana Francisca de Borja, governor of Peru and a military leader; Beatriz de la Cueva, governor of Guatemala and a political leader; Maria de Penalosa, governor of Nicaragua and a military strategist; Isabel Barreto y Quiros, first and only woman admiral of the Spanish navy; and mestizo leaders Francisca Pizarro and Leonor de Alvarado. Also covered are more than 40 other women of the same period--Spanish, Indian, and black--who held a wide variety of leadership positions. The book draws its information from the writings of respected early historians as well as historical documents from libraries and archives in Spain, Latin America and the United States. Cortes, Pizarro, Alvarado, todos ellos hombres conocidos y famosos. Pero y las mujeres? Si bien fue el hombre el que mayormente cargo sobre sus hombros la empresa conquistadora, muchas fueron las mujeres que tambien formaron parte de tal epopeya. Sin embargo, la historia les paso por encima y las relego al triste olvido. Esta obra se empena en hacerles justicia historica a estas mujeres, destacando sus vidas y hazanas sobre todo a ocho de ellas, quizas las mas conocidas, pero no las unicas. Fueron mujeres excepcionales, resolutas, integras, juiciosas, prontas a echar un pie adelante cuando las circunstancias asi lo exigieron, pero, vale recalcar, sin renunciar en ningun momento a sus dotes de madres y esposas. De las ocho mujeres, seis fueron espanolas y dos indigenas, incluyendose, ademas, a unas cuarenta mas aunque en menos detalle. La obra rebosa humanidad y sentido historico y esta escrita en un lenguaje pulcro y sencillo, al alcance de todo tipo de lector. Sus fuentes son rigurosamente historicas y fidedignas, fruto de las mas excelsas plumas a ambos lados del Atlantico y pertenecientes a todas las epocas, incluyendo, claro esta, a los primitivos cronistas de Indias.

Download or read book Amazonas written by Adrienne Mayor and published by Desperta Ferro Ediciones. This book was released on 2020-07-16 with total page 685 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las amazonas, esas fieras mujeres que habitaban en los confines del mundo conocido, fueron las "míticas" guerreras archienemigas de los antiguos griegos. Pero, ¿es adecuado emplear "míticas"? ¿Quiénes fueron en realidad esas intrépidas luchadoras que se entregaban a la guerra, la caza y la libertad sexual? ¿Existieron realmente o fueron solo un arquetipo de la otredad en la cosmovisión griega? En este extenso y profusamente ilustrado libro, finalista del National Book Award, Adrienne Mayor de la que Desperta Ferro Ediciones ya ha publicado su apasionante biografía de Mitrídates el Grande revela detalles íntimos y sorprendentes así como nuevas informaciones acerca de las mujeres de carne y hueso de las estepas eurasiáticas que el mundo clásico conocería como amazonas, para demostrar que estas guerreras no eran tan solo fruto de la imaginación helénica. A partir de la combinación del análisis de los mitos clásicos y su arte con las tradiciones de la estepa euroasiática y la Arqueología, Amazonas es el primer relato integral acerca de estas aguerridas mujeres, plasmadas en la mitología y la historia a lo largo y ancho del mundo antiguo, desde el mar Mediterráneo hasta la Gran Muralla china. Una obra que rompe estereotipos vivos hoy en día pero también los de hace más de dos milenios. 2014, Preseleccionado en London Hellenic Prize. 2014, Seleccionado por la American Scientists Science Book Gift Guide. 2015, Ganador de Silver Medal, Independent Publisher Book Awards, World History category. 2016, Reseñado por The New York Times Book Reviews "The Year in Reading". 2016, Ganador del Sarasvati Award for Best Nonfiction Book in Women and Mythology, Association for the Study of Women & Mythology.

Book Synopsis Las amazonas by : Lynn Webster Wilde
Download or read book Las amazonas written by Lynn Webster Wilde and published by Alianza Editorial. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legendario pueblo constituido por hembras belicosas, independientes, bárbaras como para ser asimiladas a persas y centauros, las amazonas fueron instaladas ya desde las primeras noticias que de ellas se dieron en un imaginario tan mítico como brumoso que hizo que desde muy pronto se debatiera ya sobre su existencia real. Inspirado por la pasión de saber, bien documentado pero alejado de la aridez académica, el presente libro de Lyn Webster Wilde se entrega con agilidad a indagar acerca de este controvertido y siempre atractivo tema, rico en conexiones históricas, antropológicas y culturales, y plagado de interrogantes, pistas, cabos sueltos y conexiones con el papel y la representación de la mujer desde el principio de los tiempos, para deslindar lo que hay en él, en última instancia, de mito y de realidad.
