Esta es una historia de la codicia y la belleza a través de las gemas más hermosas y perfectas del mundo.
Reinas, emperadores, princesas, multimillonarios, actrices o socialités poseyeron joyas como el Diamante Hope, la Perla Peregrina, el Koh-i-Noor, El Regente, la tiara perdida de los Romanov o el collar de María Antonieta, tesoros por los que el ser humano no ha dudado en traicionar, robar, asesinar o provocar guerras y derrocamientos. Tan bellas como letales, nos han hechizado con su aura de misterio y fatalidad.
Fruto de la codicia de las personas y de su extraordinaria rareza y escasez, estas joyas han sobrevivido a revoluciones, incendios y saqueos, pero en su periplo a través de los siglos ha recaído sobre ellas una leyenda negra que en realidad nos habla del lado más oscuro del ser humano.
Bienvenidos a la historia de estos símbolos de poder excepcionales y de las personas que las atesoraron, protagonistas de extraordinarios relatos de ambición y de la búsqueda incansable de pureza, perfección y belleza que nos inspira o nos consuela; testimonios aparentemente silenciosos que nos hablan sobre la condición humana.

Download or read book Francisco L pez de G mara s General History of the Indies written by and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2024-01-02 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is the first English translation of the entire text of part one of sixteenth-century Spanish historian Francisco López de Gómara’s General History of the Indies. Including substantial critical annotations and providing access to various readings and passages added to or removed from the successive editions of the 1550s, this translation expands the archive of texts available to English speakers reconsidering the various aspects of the European invasion of America. General History of the Indies was the first universal history of the recent discoveries and conquests of the New World made available to the Old World audience. At publication it consisted of two parts: the first a general history of the European discovery, conquest, and settlement of the Americas, and the second a detailed description of Cortés’s conquest of Mexico. Part one—in the multiple Spanish editions and translations into Italian and French published at the time—was the most comprehensive, popular, and accessible account of the natural history and geography of the Americas, the ethnology of the peoples of the New World, and the history of the Spanish conquest, including the most recent developments in Peru. Despite its original and continued importance, however, it had never been translated into English. Gómara’s history communicates Europeans’ general understanding of the New World throughout the middle and later sixteenth century. A lively, comparatively brief description of Europe’s expansion into the Americas with significant importance to today’s understanding of the early modern worldview, Francisco López de Gómara’s General History of the Indies will be of great interest to students of and specialists in Latin American history, Latin American literature, anthropology, and cultural studies, as well as specialists in Spanish American intellectual history and colonial Latin America.

Download or read book Visual Culture of the Ancient Americas written by Esther Pasztory and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2017-01-26 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past fifty years, the study of indigenous and pre-Columbian art has evolved from a groundbreaking area of inquiry in the mid-1960s to an established field of research. This period also spans the career of art historian Esther Pasztory. Few scholars have made such a broad and lasting impact as Pasztory, both in terms of our understanding of specific facets of ancient American art as well as in our appreciation of the evolving analytical tendencies related to the broader field of study as it developed and matured. The essays collected in this volume reflect scholarly rigor and new perspectives on ancient American art and are contributed by many of Pasztory’s former students and colleagues. A testament to the sheer breadth of Pasztory's accomplishments, Visual Culture of the Ancient Americas covers a wide range of topics, from Aztec picture-writing to nineteenth-century European scientific illustration of Andean sites in Peru. The essays, written by both established and rising scholars from across the field, focus on three areas: the ancient Andes, including its representation by European explorers and scholars of the nineteenth century; Classic period Mesoamerica and its uses within the cultural heritage debate of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries; and Postclassic Mesoamerica, particularly the deeper and heretofore often hidden meanings of its cultural production. Figures, maps, and color plates demonstrate the vibrancy and continued allure of indigenous artworks from the ancient Americas. “Pre-Columbian art can give more,” Pasztory declares, and the scholars featured here make a compelling case for its incorporation into art theory as a whole. The result is a collection of essays that celebrates Pasztory’s central role in the development of the field of Ancient American visual studies, even as it looks toward the future of the discipline.
