Luis de Carvajal

Descripción del libro

Libro Luis de Carvajal

In 1579 Philip II awarded a large territory in New Spain to a Portuguese man named Luis de Carvajal. That territory included a significant portion of present day Mexico, as well as portions of Texas and New Mexico. This remarkable man discovered, conquered, and settled most of that territory. He also brought a large group of settlers from Spain and Portugal whose impact on its cultural development was very significant. Many of those settlers were of Jewish descent and some of them were tried by the Inquisition for practicing the faith of their ancestors. This book is a biography of Carvajal and is based on documents that were written during his life or soon after his death. The narrative follows him from birth to death and describes the actions he took to give rise to Nuevo Reino de León. These included explorations and discoveries; battles with free Indians; pacifications of Indian uprisings; and legal fights with Crown officials who were determined to eliminate him and to end his government. In the end his enemies defeated him with the help of the Inquisition, but the political entity he gave rise to did not die with him. Samuel Temkin is Professor Emeritus, Rutgers University. He received a PhD in Engineering from Brown University and has been a visiting professor in Chile, Germany, Israel, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Spain. Professor Temkin is the author of "Elements of Acoustics and Suspension Acoustics: An Introduction to the Physics of Suspensions" as well as numerous research articles on Acoustics and Fluid Dynamics, and of many research articles, on the topic of this book. Dr. Temkin was born in Mexico City and was raised in Monterrey, Mexico, the capital city of what once was Nuevo Reino de León.

Los tiempos detenidos

Libro Los tiempos detenidos

Luisa Valenzuela lo vuelve a lograr. Consigue que el lenguaje ingrese como un virus que se expande en el lector y desactiva cualquier urgencia. Porque Los tiempos detenidos es una crónica autobiográfica atrapante, imposible de soltar, escrita para comprender -pero también para enfrentar- períodos excepcionales de crisis: el coma y la cuarentena. En esta nueva publicación de la colección Ficciones Reales, dirigida por Cristian Alarcón, se reconoce el espíritu del periodismo narrativo en sus estrategias descriptivas y la esencia de la obra de Luisa Valenzuela en un humor que irrumpe...

Crónicas de Nueva York

Libro Crónicas de Nueva York

En Crónicas de Nueva York, Maeve Brennan nos ofrece certeras y evocadoras viñetas de la vida neoyorquina en los 50 y los 60, revelando al lector las mil caras fugaces de esta fascinante ciudad, todas las pequeñas historias sin nombre que palpitan en su seno, las pequeñas alegrías y tragedias que transitan sus calles y que ella, no en vano admirada por escritores como John Updike o Alice Munro, supo captar como nadie.

Cartas de Amor a Mina Loy

Libro Cartas de Amor a Mina Loy

The correspondence in this brief collection tells of journeys, separations, fantasies, and misunderstandings experienced by the colorful Arthur Cravan, all written to his wife Mina Loy prior to his mysterious disappearance in the Gulf of Mexico.

Even though Mina did not love Arthur at first, it is quite apparent in the content of this book that he was completely struck by her immediately. La...
