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 Petr leo y sangre en Oriente written by M. Essad Bey and published by Espuela de Plata. This book was released on 2015-05-26 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
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.
