Los moriscos del reino de Granada

Julio Caro Baroja bucea en este libro en el mundo de magos, hechiceros y astrólogos de nuestros siglos XVI y XVII, acercándonos a unos hombres y mujeres que son muestra de la frustración de aquella sociedad, asentada ella misma en unos presupuestos mágicos. Pero aquellos hombres -observados siempre con mirada compasiva por el autor- son también fuente de esperanza dentro de un mundo desilusionado. En una primera parte Caro Baroja desarrolla una teoría de la magia no siempre de acuerdo con las ideas tradicionales al respecto.

Dalle prime esperienze politiche a Roma fino alla tragedia di Azio e al suicidio in Egitto, passando per le terre e i campi di battaglia di Gallia, Balcani e Armenia, il percorso di un giovane ambizioso giunto ai massimi gradi del potere, la cui fine segnò anche la fine di un'epoca. Le nostre informazioni su Marco Antonio (circa 83-30 a.C.) derivano soprattutto da ciò che hanno tramandato i suoi nemici.

Located halfway between Los Angeles and Yuma, Arizona, Indio came into being as a railroad town in 1876 when the Southern Pacific Railroad completed this last link in its southern transcontinental route. Settling this arid land took ingenuity and courage, and Indio's early residents had both. In the 1930s, Indio became a mining town when 92 miles of tunnel were dug through its eastern mountains for the Los Angeles Aqueduct, the largest construction project in the United States during the Depression. World War II brought Gen. George Patton's Desert Tank Corps to train nearby and crowd into...

El Kojiki o Crónicas de antiguos hechos es la primera obra literaria de Japón. Aclamado como el gran relicario de los antiguos mitos, leyendas y canciones de la cultura japonesa, narra las tradiciones nacionales desde sus orígenes hasta el primer cuarto del siglo VII. Obra asentada firmemente en el puente brumoso que separa el mito de la historia, sus páginas abren la puerta a un mundo mágico poblado de dioses (los celestiales y los «terrenales»), de héroes y de seres humanos que animan con sus actos y palabras el inmenso retablo multicolor, dinámico y apasionante que anuncia los...
