Download or read book Grandes mitos y leyendas de la Historia written by Carlos Javier Taranilla de la Varga and published by Editorial Almuzara. This book was released on 2016-04-16 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desde la «Fuente de la Eterna Juventud», el «Elixir de la Vida» y otros mitos que tienen como base el anhelo de Inmortalidad, hasta las tierras legendarias y civilizaciones perdidas como la «Ciudad Errante de los Césares» o la Atlántida, pasando por otros tan conocidos como dragones, centauros, arpías, sirenas, cíclopes o «el Judío Errante». Estos son algunos de los mitos y leyendas en los que la obra indaga para dar a conocer sus orígenes y motivaciones. «Para la ciencia, el origen del hombre sigue siendo un misterio. ¿Por qué un primate comenzó a ser inteligente hasta convertirse en lo que denominamos homo sapiens? Lo que está claro es que la inteligencia de la nueva especie se manifestó y se manifiesta mediante lo que denominamos “el pensamiento simbólico”, algo que desde el momento de nuestra aparición sirvió para que los seres humanos intentásemos descifrar la ininteligible realidad en la que estábamos inmersos. En este libro, su autor, tiene la virtud de ofrecernos una recopilación bien sistematizada de mitos y leyendas de la historia de la humanidad, de una forma que me atrevo a calificar como enciclopédica. Un libro, en fin, documentado con rigor y elaborado con destreza descriptiva, que nos muestra las ficciones milenarias que cuajaron en los mitos y en las leyendas venerables, urdiéndolo todo en un tejido de referentes culturales muy completo y atractivo». Del prólogo de José María Merino (de la Real Academia Española).

Download or read book Mitos errantes written by Tommaso Braccini and published by Alianza Editorial. This book was released on 2023-01-12 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Todo el mundo conoce, ha oído alguna vez o tal vez incluso ha difundido historias que normalmente se engloban dentro de lo que conocemos como "leyendas urbanas", de carácter más o menos terrorífico o inquietante, o también burlón o humorístico: la chica de la curva, los animales amenazantes que surgen del inodoro, conspiraciones de toda laya..., entre otras muchas. En este amenísimo libro, Tommaso Braccini trae a colación numerosos casos de estas leyendas -que deberían llamarse con más propiedad, aclara, "leyendas contemporáneas"- y nos revela su relación con los cuentos o relatos populares propios del folclore, así como la existencia de precedentes, en muchos casos, no sólo en la Edad Media y la Antigüedad, sino también a lo largo de la geografía, de forma que nos da a conocer su verdadera esencia de "mitos" inherentes a la naturaleza humana, lo cual los convierte en "mitos" errantes en el tiempo y el espacio.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MITOS & LEYENDAS DEL MUNDO is a Spanish childrens book that uses stories to explain puzzling questions, myths, and legends. For example, what animals live in the cold parts of the planet? Or, what leads to the election to emperors? At school, teachers show us several answers to these types of questions, but in the past, different groups of people who inhabited the Earth created stories full of magic and fantasy to explain these phenomena. Note that each story has originated in a different culture, and therefore, at the end you will find some very interesting information that will familiarize you with the people characterized in these narrations. In reading these stories, you will gain the charm and wisdom that lies behind every myth and legend of our ancestors.
