Book excerpt: A sweeping, authoritative history of 16th-century Spain and its legendary conquistadors, whose ambitious and morally contradictory campaigns propelled a small European kingdom to become one of the formidable empires in the world “The depth of research in this book is astonishing, but even more impressive is the analytical skill Cervantes applies. . . . [He] conveys complex arguments in delightfully simple language, and most importantly knows how to tell a good story.” —The Times (London) Over the few short decades that followed Christopher Columbus's first landing in the Caribbean in 1492, Spain conquered the two most powerful civilizations of the Americas: the Aztecs of Mexico and the Incas of Peru. Hernán Cortés, Francisco Pizarro, and the other explorers and soldiers that took part in these expeditions dedicated their lives to seeking political and religious glory, helping to build an empire unlike any the world had ever seen. But centuries later, these conquistadors have become the stuff of nightmares. In their own time, they were glorified as heroic adventurers, spreading Christian culture and helping to build an empire unlike any the world had ever seen. Today, they stand condemned for their cruelty and exploitation as men who decimated ancient civilizations and carried out horrific atrocities in their pursuit of gold and glory. In Conquistadores, acclaimed Mexican historian Fernando Cervantes—himself a descendent of one of the conquistadors—cuts through the layers of myth and fiction to help us better understand the context that gave rise to the conquistadors' actions. Drawing upon previously untapped primary sources that include diaries, letters, chronicles, and polemical treatises, Cervantes immerses us in the late-medieval, imperialist, religious world of 16th-century Spain, a world as unfamiliar to us as the Indigenous peoples of the New World were to the conquistadors themselves. His thought-provoking, illuminating account reframes the story of the Spanish conquest of the New World and the half-century that irrevocably altered the course of history.

Download or read book Petita hist ria de Salvador Espriu written by Helena Barba Tomàs and published by Editorial Mediterrània, SL. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «Jo vaig néixer a Santa Coloma de Farners i, per tant, em sento molt fill d’allà. De manera que ara tinc dues mares, a més de la meva, desgraciadament morta: la vila d’Arenys de Mar i la ciutat de Santa Coloma de Farners, amors que són tots compatibles i que l’un no exclou l’altre.» Són paraules d’Espriu en ser nomenat fill predilecte de Santa Coloma de Farners el 1981. Helena Barba, autora del text, les inclou en aquesta nova Petita Història on s’explica vida i obra literària del poeta i dramaturg català. Les il·lustracions de Pilarín Bayés arrodoneixen un volum que acosta a grans i petits la figura d’un geni català. Salvador Espriu i Castelló és un dels autors més insignes de les lletres catalanes. La profunditat i l’alta significació de la seva obra, reconegudes per la crítica internacional, són mereixedores de la major atenció i consideració. De la mateixa manera, l’exemplaritat de la seva actitud en una de les situacions històriques més adverses per a Catalunya, que se sintetitza en les seves paraules, “Ens mantindrem fidels per sempre més al servei d’aquest poble”, constitueixen un llegat que ha de romandre en la memòria dels catalans.
