Download or read book The Marvellous Adventure of Cabeza de Vaca written by Haniel Long and published by Pan. This book was released on 1975 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In November, 1528 a group of Spanish soldiers are washed ashore in the Gulf of Mexico. The leader of the expedition was Cabeza de Vaca and he would spend eight years travelling across North America, enduring starvation and enslavement, to return to his home." "Based on a true story, but effused with the Haniel Long's poetry, this novella is comparable to Khalil Gibran's The Prophet in its understanding of what men can do when they must do something or die. It is a testimony to mankind's ability to help each other." "Also included is Long's Malinche, the story of a slave girl who served as Cortes's translator during his conquest of Mexico. Long's gifts as a poet bring a magical quality to the telling of her story. Malinche comes to embody the image of the ideal woman that all men carry in their hearts."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Conquest and Survival in Colonial Guatemala Fourth Edition written by W. George Lovell and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conquest and Survival in Colonial Guatemala examines the impact of Spanish conquest and colonial rule on the Sierra de los Cuchumatanes, a frontier region of Guatemala adjoining the country’s northwestern border with Mexico. While Spaniards penetrated and left an enduring mark on the region, the vibrant Maya culture they encountered was not obliterated and, though subjected to considerable duress from the sixteenth century on, endures to this day. This fourth edition of George Lovell’s classic work incorporates new data and recent research findings and emphasizes native resistance and strategic adaptation to Spanish intrusion. Drawing on four decades of archival foraging, Lovell focuses attention on issues of land, labour, settlement, and population to unveil colonial experiences that continue to affect how Guatemala operates as a troubled modern nation. Acclaimed by scholars across the humanities and social sciences, Conquest and Survival in Colonial Guatemala remains a seminal account of the impact of Spanish colonialism in the Americas and a landmark contribution to Mesoamerican studies.

Download or read book Phantoms on the Bookshelves written by Jacques Bonnet and published by MacLehose Press. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This enchanting study on the art of living with books considers how our personal libraries reveal our true nature: far more than just places, they are living labyrinths of our innermost feelings. The author, a lifelong accumulator of books both ancient and modern, lives in a house large enough to accommodate his many thousands of books, as well as overspill from the libraries of his friends. While his musings on the habits of collectors past and present are learned, witty and instructive, his advice on cataloguing may even save the lives of those whose books are so prodigiously piled as to be a hazard. Phantoms on the Bookshelves ranges from classical Greece to contemporary Iceland, from Balzac and Moby Dick to Google, offering up delicious anecdotes along the way. This elegantly produced volume will be a lasting delight to specialist collectors, librarians, bibliophiles and all those who treasure books.
