Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Después del éxito del volumen Civilizaciones antiguas vistas desde el cielo, esta nueva obra presenta las imágenes más espectaculares de castillos y fortificaciones europeos, tomadas en el curso de numerosas sesiones fotográficas aéreas. A lo largo de los siglos, desde el inicio del segundo milenio hasta el esplendor del renacimiento, la arquitectura defensiva ha producido estructuras admirables, bien conservadas todavía en la actualidad y en parte aún utilizadas. Gracias a la fotografía aérea podemos apreciar la dimensión poderosa y extraordinaria de estas obras y admirar su complejidad, fruto de una civilización que sabía armonizar el aspecto práctico y funcional con el gusto por el equilibrio y la belleza. Sorprende la variedad de las formas, la sagacidad de las estructuras defensivas, la belleza de los muros que protegen las ciudades, la articulación de los volúmenes y la altitud de las torres, los bastiones, las torres del homenaje, los baluartes que dominan impávidos, entonces y ahora, los valles y cursos acuáticos de nuestra «vieja» Europa. Destacan sobre todo Italia y Francia, con sus grandes ingenieros militares, pero también España, Portugal, Alemania, Gran Bretaña, Dinamarca, Suecia, Grecia o Turquía.

Download or read book Bajo El Cielo Peruano written by Pedro de Peralta Barnuevo and published by Unc Department of Romance Studies. This book was released on 2008 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bajo el Cielo Peruano: The Devout World of Peralta Barnuevo examines two of Peralta Barnuevo's overtly religious texts as contexts for the rich erudition demonstrated in other literary and historical genres authored by the early eighteenth-century Peruvian writer. This critical edition makes La Galeria de la Omnipotencia and Pasion y Triunfo de Christo available in print for the first time in over 260 years. The two major works span the years 1729 to 1738. La Galeria celebrates the canonization of Toribio Alfonso de Mogrovejo in a literary tribute and exemplifies how Peralta textualized the contradictions of viceregal loyalty and a commitment to a distinct American identity. Through an analysis of the trans-Atlantic history of the poetic joust in Hispanic letters, David Slade demonstrates how La Galeria exceeds the restrictions of its formulaic genre by offering a perspective on colonial Peru alternative to that of the official metropolitan discourse. Pasion y Triunfo, written in response to Peralta's crisis of faith, enters theological debates and displays the author's mature erudition, elevated rhetoric, and talent for invoking religion and history to serve literary production. Rebuked by the Inquisition, Peralta mounted a convincing defense to save both himself and the text from censorship. With the aim of centering Peralta within the canon of Latin American letters, Slade and coeditor Jerry Williams provide examples of problems and critical questions to be addressed when reading or teaching the two texts. They offer La Galeria and Pasion y Triunfo as a challenge to readers to reevaluate Peralta's legacy with respect to how he engaged Enlightenment influences, to teach his writings, and to treat them as an exegesis of religious writings in colonial Peru.

Kylee is ensconsed in the Sky Castle, training with Mem Uku to master the Hollow Tongue and the Ghost Eagle. But political intrigue abounds and court drama seems to seep through the castle's stones like blood from a broken feather. Meanwhile, Brysen is still in the Six Villages, preparing for an attack by the Kartami. The Villages have become Uztar's first line of defense, and refugees are flooding in from the plains. But their arrival lays bare the villagers' darkest instincts. As Brysen navigates the growing turmoil, he must also grapple with a newfound gift, a burgeoning crush on a mysterious boy, and a shocking betrayal. The two will meet again on the battlefield, fighting the same war from different sides. But the Ghost Eagle has its own plans.

Download or read book Take Me with You written by Carlos Frias and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-11-18 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An evocative and unforgettable memoir from award-winning journalist Carlos Frías about his journey to Cuba where he retraces his family's history and encounters the realities of Cuba under Fidel Castro's rule. Carlos Frías, an award-winning journalist and the American-born son of Cuban exiles, grew up hearing about his parents' homeland only in parables. Their Cuba, the one they left behind four decades ago, was ethereal. It existed, for him, only in their anecdotes, and in the family that remained in Cuba—merely ghosts on the other end of a telephone. Until Fidel Castro fell ill. Sent to Cuba by his newspaper as the country began closing to foreign journalists in August 2006, Frías begins the secret journey of a lifetime—twelve days in the land of his parents. That experience led to this evocative, spectacular, and unforgettable memoir. Take Me With You is written through the unique eyes of a first-generation Cuban-American seeing the forbidden country of his ancestry for the first time. Frías provides a fresh view of Cuba, devoid of overt political commentary, focusing instead on the gritty, tangible lives of the people living in Castro's Cuba. Frías takes in the island nation of today and attempts to reconstruct what the past was like for his parents, retracing their footsteps, searching for his roots, and discovering his history. The story creates lasting and unexpected ripples within his family on both sides of the Florida Straits—and on the author himself.
