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 Tuf Voyaging written by George R. R. Martin and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2013-01-29 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long before A Game of Thrones became an international phenomenon, #1 New York Times bestselling author George R. R. Martin had taken his loyal readers across the cosmos. Now back in print after almost ten years, Tuf Voyaging is the story of quirky and endearing Haviland Tuf, an unlikely hero just trying to do right by the galaxy, one planet at a time. Haviland Tuf is an honest space-trader who likes cats. So how is it that, in competition with the worst villains the universe has to offer, he’s become the proud owner of a seedship, the last remnant of Earth’s legendary Ecological Engineering Corps? Never mind; just be thankful that the most powerful weapon in human space is in good hands—hands which now have the godlike ability to control the genetic material of thousands of outlandish creatures. Armed with this unique equipment, Tuf is set to tackle the problems that human settlers have created in colonizing far-flung worlds: hosts of hostile monsters, a population hooked on procreation, a dictator who unleashes plagues to get his own way . . . and in every case, the only thing that stands between the colonists and disaster is Tuf’s ingenuity—and his reputation as a man of integrity in a universe of rogues. “A rich blend of adventure, humor, compassion and all the other things that make being human worthwhile.”—Analog “A new facet of Martin’s manysided talent.”—Asimov’s
