Download or read book Alrededor del mundo Viaje de tus sue os written by Franz J Bartel and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-02-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Quién no quería realizar con mucho gusto un viaje de sus sueños alrededor del mundo, y que sea solo una vez en su vida? Con este libro quiero darte la inspiración para proceder tus sueños. Es por eso que anoté mi viaje como un reportaje de viaje diario, para que tú puedas ver, donde estén las eventuales trampas, los que tú así podrías evitar y que obtengas informaciones que de esta forma no puedes encontrar en el internet. Ahora tu mismo puedes descubrir, cuáles de tus sueños de viaje podrían ser interesantes y como tú lo puedes poner en práctica. Como un viaje alrededor del mundo se puede hacer de distintas maneras, he dividido mi relato del viaje en tres libros diferentes: el Pacífico, mi primer libro, con sus playas a veces paradisíacos y la particularidad de su gente muy acogedora, en lo cual de mi vista y experiencia ahora, recomendaría visitar además dos o tres islas del este del pacífico sur, como por ejemplo las Islas Cook y Tonga. Nueva Zelanda y Australia es la región de la cual se trata mi segundo libro de mis aventuras. Aquí añadiría, si lo permite tu tiempo, también los lugares de Adelaide y Perth en el sur y talvez Darwin en el norte. Asia, la parte denominada Sud-Este de Asia, es la región de donde relata mi tercer libro. Aquí otra vez depende de tu tiempo disponible, si tú quieres también visitar por ejemplo Japón, Hongkong, Taiwan o Vietnam y Corea. Los destinos en Asia también son más fácil accesible de su sitio en Europa. A propósito, yo había comprado un billete de avión por 30.000 millas (unos 48.380 km), así es más económico y además puedes escoger la ruta tú mismo. Lo que se refiere al autor, él desde muy pequeño quería ver el mundo e hizo sus primeros más grandes viajes, los cuales organizó completamente él solo, con un coche muy pequeño, un Citroën 2 CV, cruzando desde Alemania por Italia del norte hacia el sur, Túnez, Argelia, Marruecos, pasando España, Francia y Bélgica. Más tarde hizo un viaje por avión a los Estados Unidos, cruzando los EEUU desde el Este hacia el Sur y la Costa del Oeste. En este viaje alrededor del mundo también aprovechó de sus experiencias del viaje aventurero anterior alrededor del continente Sudamericano. De esta aventura también escribió un libro Aventura Sudamérica - Un guía bastante diferente con más de 200 fotografías y como puedes hacer este viaje tú mismo.

Download or read book Picturing the Bronze Age written by Johan Ling and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2015-02-28 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pictures from the Bronze Age are numerous, vivid and complex. There is no other prehistoric period that has produced such a wide range of images spanning from rock art to figurines to decoration on bronzes and gold. Fourteen papers, with a geographical coverage from Scandinavia to the Iberian Peninsula, examine a wide range of topics reflecting the many forms and expressions of Bronze Age imagery encompassing important themes including religion, materiality, mobility, interaction, power and gender. Contributors explore specific elements of rock art in some detail such as the representation of the human form; images of manslaughter; and gender identities. The relationship between rock art imagery and its location on the one hand, and metalwork and networks of trade and exchange of both materials and ideas on the other, are considered. Modern and ancient perceptions of rock art are discussed, in particular the changing perceptions that have developed during almost 150 years of documented research. Picturing the Bronze Age is based on an international workshop with the same title held in Tanum, Sweden in October 2012.

Download or read book Ozu written by Donald Richie and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1977-03-15 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Substantially the book that devotees of the director have been waiting for: a full-length critical work about Ozu's life, career and working methods, buttressed with reproductions of pages from his notebooks and shooting scripts, numerous quotes from co-workers and Japanese critics, a great many stills and an unusually detailed filmography."—Sight and Sound Yasujiro Ozu, the man whom his kinsmen consider the most Japanese for all film directors, had but one major subject, the Japanese family, and but one major theme, its dissolution. The Japanese family in dissolution figures in every one of his fifty-three films. In his later pictures, the whole world exists in one family, the characters are family members rather than members of a society, and the ends of the earth seem no more distant than the outside of the house.

Download or read book Colonial Tropes and Postcolonial Tricks written by Lesley Wylie and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a new reading of the Spanish-American novela de la selva genre, often interpreted as a belated imitation of European travel literature. Arguing against the commonly held opinion of the genre’s derivative nature, Colonial Tropes and Postcolonial Tricks examines how novela de la selva fiction reimagined the tropics from a Latin American perspective and redefined tropical landscape aesthetics and ethnography through parodic rewritings of European perspectives. Analyzing four emblematic novels of the genre, this book considers the crucial place of the jungle as a locus for the contestation of national and literary identity by post-independence Latin American writers.
Download or read book New Worlds written by John Lynch and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-26 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extraordinary book encompasses the time period from the first Christian evangelists' arrival in Latin America to the dictators of the late twentieth century. With unsurpassed knowledge of Latin American history, John Lynch sets out to explore the reception of Christianity by native peoples and how it influenced their social and religious lives as the centuries passed. As attentive to modern times as to the colonial period, Lynch also explores the extent to which Indian religion and ancestral ways survived within the new Christian culture.The book follows the development of religious culture over time by focusing on peak periods of change: the response of religion to the Enlightenment, the emergence of the Church from the wars of independence, the Romanization of Latin American religion as the papacy overtook the Spanish crown in effective control of the Church, the growing challenge of liberalism and the secular state, and in the twentieth century, military dictators' assaults on human rights. Throughout the narrative, Lynch develops a number of special themes and topics. Among these are the Spanish struggle for justice for Indians, the Church's position on slavery, the concept of popular religion as distinct from official religion, and the development of liberation theology.
Download or read book Colour of Paradise written by Kris E. Lane and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-03-30 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the magnificent gems and jewels left behind by the great Islamic empires, emeralds stand out for their size and prominence. For the Mughals, Ottomans, and Safavids green was—as it remains for all Muslims—the color of Paradise, reserved for the Prophet Muhammad and his descendants. Tapping a wide range of sources, Kris Lane traces the complex web of global trading networks that funneled emeralds from backland South America to populous Asian capitals between the sixteenth and the eighteenth centuries. Lane reveals the bloody conquest wars and forced labor regimes that accompanied their production. It is a story of trade, but also of transformations—how members of profoundly different societies at opposite ends of the globe assigned value to a few thousand pounds of imperfectly shiny green rocks.

Download or read book The Cambridge History of Religions in Latin America written by Virginia Garrard-Burnett and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-11 with total page 995 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambridge History of Religions in Latin America covers religious history in Latin America from pre-Conquest times until the present. This publication is important; first, because of the historical and contemporary centrality of religion in the life of Latin America; second, for the rapid process of religious change which the region is undergoing; and third, for the region's religious distinctiveness in global comparative terms, which contributes to its importance for debates over religion, globalization, and modernity. Reflecting recent currents of scholarship, this volume addresses the breadth of Latin American religion, including religions of the African diaspora, indigenous spiritual expressions, non-Christian traditions, new religious movements, alternative spiritualities, and secularizing tendencies.
