This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 882 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El libro que inspiró la serie House of the Dragon, este agosto en HBO. La fascinante historia de los Targaryen, la dinastía que reinó en Poniente trescientos años antes del inicio de Canción de hielo y fuego, narrada por el archimaestre Glydayn, de la Ciudadela de Antigua. Siglos antes de que tuvieran lugar los acontecimientos que se relatan en «Canción de hielo y fuego», la casa Targaryen, la única dinastía de señores dragón que sobrevivió a la Maldición de Valyria, se asentó en la isla de Rocadragón. Aquí tenemos el primero de los dos volúmenes en el que el autor de Juego de tronos nos cuenta, con todo lujo de detalles, la historia de tan fascinante familia: empezando por Aegon I Targaryen, creador del icónico Trono de Hierro, y seguido por el resto de las generaciones de Targaryens que lucharon con fiereza por conservar el poder, y el trono, hasta la llegada de la guerra civil que casi acaba con ellos. ¿Qué pasó realmente durante la Danza de dragones? ¿Por qué era tan peligroso acercarse a Valyria después de la Maldición? ¿Cómo era Poniente cuando los dragones dominaban los cielos? Estas, y otras muchas, son las preguntas a las que responde esta monumental crónica, narrada por un culto maestre de la Ciudadela, que anticipa el ya conocido universo de George R.R. Martin. Fuego y sangre brindará a los lectores la oportunidad de tener otra visión de la fascinante historia de Poniente. Esta obra, magníficamente ilustrada con 80 láminas inéditas de Doug Wheatley, se convertirá, sin duda, en una lectura imprescindible para todos los fans de la aclamada serie. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The thrilling history of the Targaryens comes to life in this masterly work, the inspiration for HBO’s upcoming Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon “The thrill of Fire & Blood is the thrill of all Martin’s fantasy work: familiar myths debunked, the whole trope table flipped.”—Entertainment Weekly Centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones, House Targaryen—the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria—took up residence on Dragonstone. Fire & Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart. What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why was it so deadly to visit Valyria after the Doom? What were Maegor the Cruel’s worst crimes? What was it like in Westeros when dragons ruled the skies? These are but a few of the questions answered in this essential chronicle, as related by a learned maester of the Citadel and featuring more than eighty all-new black-and-white illustrations by artist Doug Wheatley—including five all-new illustrations exclusive to this edition. Readers have glimpsed small parts of this narrative in such volumes as The World of Ice & Fire, but now, for the first time, the full tapestry of Targaryen history is revealed. With all the scope and grandeur of Gibbon’s The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Fire & Blood is the the first volume of the definitive two-part history of the Targaryens, giving readers a whole new appreciation for the dynamic, often bloody, and always fascinating history of Westeros. Praise for Fire & Blood “A masterpiece of popular historical fiction.” —The Sunday Times “The saga is a rich and dark one, full of both the title’s promised elements. . . . It’s hard not to thrill to the descriptions of dragons engaging in airborne combat, or the dilemma of whether defeated rulers should ‘bend the knee,’ ‘take the black’ and join the Night’s Watch, or simply meet an inventive and horrible end.”—The Guardian

Download or read book Moria de Erasmo Roterodamo written by Jorge Ledo and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-10-23 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The existence of a early Spanish translation of Erasmus’s Encomium Moriae has been matter of speculation and unsuccessful research for over a century. This volume offers for the first time the edition of a seventeenth-century manuscript discovered at Ets Haim/Livraria Montezinos (Amsterdam) by its editors. They demonstrate that it is not only the first known early modern Spanish translation of Erasmus’s chef-d’œuvre, but a copy of a much earlier version, composed in mid-sixteenth century. This scholarly edition has been arranged for an easy textual collation with the canonical edition (ASD IV: 3) and translation (CWE 27) of Erasmus’s Praise of Folly and includes an extensive apparatus of footnotes devoted both to this version and to Erasmus’s Moriae Encomium itself.

Download or read book Without History written by Jose Rabasa and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2010-06-27 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On December 22, 1997, forty-five unarmed members of the indigenous organization Las Abejas (The Bees) were massacred during a prayer meeting in the village of Acteal, Mexico. The members of Las Abejas, who are pacifists, pledged their support to the Zapatista Army of National Liberation, a primarily indigenous group that has declared war on the state of Mexico. The massacre has been attributed to a paramilitary group composed of ordinary citizens acting on their own, although eyewitnesses claim the attack was planned ahead of time and that the Mexican government was complicit.In Without History, Jose Rabasa contrasts indigenous accounts of the Acteal massacre and other events with state attempts to frame the past, control subaltern populations, and legitimatize its own authority. Rabasa offers new interpretations of the meaning of history from indigenous perspectives and develops the concept of a communal temporality that is not limited by time, but rather exists within the individual, community, and culture as a living knowledge that links both past and present. Due to a disconnection between indigenous and state accounts as well as the lack of archival materials (many of which were destroyed by missionaries), the indigenous remain outside of, or without, history, according to most of Western discourse. The continued practice of redefining native history perpetuates the subalternization of that history, and maintains the specter of fabrication over reality.Rabasa recalls the works of Marx, Lenin, and Gramsci, as well as contemporary south Asian subalternists Ranajit Guha and Dipesh Chakrabarty, among others. He incorporates their conceptions of communality, insurgency, resistance to hegemonic governments, and the creation of autonomous spaces as strategies employed by indigenous groups around the globe, but goes further in defining these strategies as millennial and deeply rooted in Mesoamerican antiquity. For Rabasa, these methods and the continuum of ancient indigenous consciousness are evidenced in present day events such as the Zapatista insurrection.

Book excerpt: A pesar de las apasionantes 600 páginas que dedica Tom Reiss en El orientalista a M. Essad Bey (Kiev, 1905-Positano, 1942), y haber sido un espléndido escritor de enorme éxito entre 1929 y la Segunda Guerra Mundial, éste es el primero de sus libros que, firmado con ese nombre, se reedita en España en los últimos 70 años. Este judío ruso que escribía en alemán, cuyo verdadero nombre era Lev Nussimbaum, se convirtió a la religión musulmana y en monárquico partidario de los Hohenzollern en plena república de Weimar. Con el pseudónimo de Kurban Said, publicó Alí y Nino, su obra más conocida. Petroleo y sangre en Oriente (Öl und Blut im Orient, 1929), novela de trasfondo autobiográfico, nos ofrece una visión caleidoscópica, vertiginosa y sorprendente del Cáucaso y de Bakú, la capital del petróleo, entre 1900 y 1920. Las peripecias del protagonista durante la revolución rusa les recordarán poderosamente a las de El maestro Juan Martínez que estaba allí de Manuel Chaves Nogales. Essad Bey ha resucitado como escritor en los últimos años y sus obras están empezando a reeditarse de nuevo en toda Europa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blood. Invention. Language. Resistance. World. Five ordinary words that do a great deal of conceptual work in everyday life and literature. In this original experiment in critical semantics, Roland Greene considers how these five words changed over the course of the sixteenth century and what their changes indicate about broader forces in science, politics, and other disciplines. Greene discusses a broad swath of Renaissance and transatlantic literature - including Shakespeare, Cervantes, Camoes, and Milton - in terms of the development of these words rather than works, careers, or histories. He creates a method for describing and understanding the semantic changes that occur, extending his argument to other words that operate in the same manner. Aiming to shift the conversation around Renaissance literature from current approaches to riskier enterprises, Greene also challenges semantic-historicist scholars, proposing a method that takes advantage of digital resources like full-text databases but still depends on the interpreter to fashion ideas out of ordinary language. "Five Words" is an innovative and accessible book that points the field of literary studies in an exciting new direction.--Page [4] of cover.

Book excerpt: How did Spanish-American writers and veterans in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century use epic poetry to search for ethical solutions to the violent conflicts of their age?Winner of the 2017-18 AHGBI-Spanish Embassy Publication Prize The Epic Mirror studies how Spanish-American writers and veterans in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century used epic poetry to search for ethical solutions to the violent conflicts of their age. The wars about which they wrote took place at the frontiers of the Spanish empire, where new political communities were emerging: fiercely independent Amerindian republics, rebellious Spanish settlers, maroon kingdoms of fugitive African slaves. This colonial reality generated a distinctive vision of just warfare and political community. Working across the fields of Hispanic literature, the history of political thought, and studies of empire, colonialism and globalisation, Choi reinterprets three major works of colonial Latin American literature: Alonso de Ercilla's La Araucana (1569-90), Pedro de Oña's Arauco domado (1596), and Juan de Miramontes Zuázola's Armas antárticas (1608-9). She argues that these works provide a rare insight into the development of political thought in Viceregal Peru.

Download or read book Indigenous Borderlands written by Joaquín Rivaya-Martínez and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2023-04-20 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pervasive myths of European domination and indigenous submission in the Americas receive an overdue corrective in this far-reaching revisionary work. Despite initial upheavals caused by the European intrusion, Native people often thrived after contact, preserving their sovereignty, territory, and culture and shaping indigenous borderlands across the hemisphere. Borderlands, in this context, are spaces where diverse populations interact, cross-cultural exchanges are frequent and consequential, and no polity or community holds dominion. Within the indigenous borderlands of the Americas, as this volume shows, Native peoples exercised considerable power, often retaining control of the land, and remaining paramount agents of historical transformation after the European incursion. Conversely, European conquest and colonialism were typically slow and incomplete, as the newcomers struggled to assert their authority and implement policies designed to subjugate Native societies and change their beliefs and practices. Indigenous Borderlands covers a wide chronological and geographical span, from the sixteenth-century U.S. South to twentieth-century Bolivia, and gathers leading scholars from the United States and Latin America. Drawing on previously untapped or underutilized primary sources, the original essays in this volume document the resilience and relative success of indigenous communities commonly and wrongly thought to have been subordinated by colonial forces, or even vanished, as well as the persistence of indigenous borderlands within territories claimed by people of European descent. Indeed, numerous indigenous groups remain culturally distinct and politically autonomous. Hemispheric in its scope, unique in its approach, this work significantly recasts our understanding of the important roles played by Native agents in constructing indigenous borderlands in the era of European imperialism. Chapters 5, 6, 8, and 9 are published with generous support from the Americas Research Network.
