Caída del imperio romano Adrian Goldsworthy
En el año 476 d.C. Rómulo Augusto, el último emperador que gobernó en Roma, fue depuesto, sin oposición, por el bárbaro Odoacro. Este hito marcó el final definitivo, e incluso silencioso, de cinco siglos de dominación imperial. Fue la muerte anunciada por una larga decadencia que había empezado con Marco Aurelio, tres siglos antes, cuando Roma era aún la mayor superpotencia del mundo. Adrian Goldsworthy -recurriendo a las fuentes originales y a las últimas investigaciones arqueológicas- nos presenta un relato estremecedor de la caída del Imperio romano. Un largo proceso que duró trescientos años en el que se vivieron el caos del siglo III, el cisma del IV o el colapso final en el V. En estas páginas cobran vida personajes fascinantes como Caracalla, Constantino, Teodosio, Alarico o Atila ...
Cervantes and Modernity: Four Essays on Don Quijote Eric Clifford Graf
Graf argues that the doubts expressed by both historicists and postmodernists regarding the progressive nature of Don Quijote are exaggerated. He also argues that interpretations that abstain from this debate by emphasizing authorial ambivalence or positioning the novel at a crossroads do not seem as responsible as they once did. Beyond these skeptical and neutral alternatives, there are key steps forward in Cervantes's worldview. These four essays detail Don Quijote's anticipations of many of the same ideas and values that drive today's multiculturalism, feminism, secularism, and materialism. An important thesis here is that the Enlightenment remains the best vantage point from which to appreciate the novel's relation to the discourses of such movements. Thus Voltaire's Candide (1759), F...
Charlemagne: King of the Franks Cameron White
By the mid 8th century no centralized European authority had yet arisen to take the place of the place of the Roman Empire since its collapse. But in Germany, the Frankish dynasty began to establish itself and eventually their kingdom covered most of modern day France as well as other parts of Central and Eastern Europe. In the midst of all of the chaos to control the land, one individual stood at the heart of the Franks’ expansion: Charlemagne. A pious and arrogant leader, he made such an impact on the world he is still arguably one of the greatest kings to have ever ruled. Charlemagne established his dynasty and elevated his family’s influence throughout Europe. His is a story full of violence and heroism, displaying political, social, and religious advances. It is a story that exhib...
Charlie Chaplin: A Life From Beginning to End Hourly History
Charlie Chaplin * Download for FREE on Kindle Unlimited + Free BONUS Inside! * Read On Your Computer, MAC, Smartphone, Kindle Reader, iPad, or Tablet.** Charlie Chaplin is most famously known for his “tramp” character—the homeless hobo that can be seen hopping from trains and lining up in the soup kitchens of the Great Depression. At a time when the whole world was struggling from economic meltdown, Charlie Chaplin made “destitute” a term of endearment. We may laugh when we see Charlie Chaplin so broke that he has to boil his shoes and eat them, but during the worst parts of the economic collapse of the 1920s and 1930s, some people had to do just that. So, at the time, even though many would laugh at the crazy tramp’s antics, they could also relate and identify with them. And the fact t...

Discover The BEST Education For Your Child Imaginable!!!With all the education options available today, choosing the right school or curriculum for your child can be daunting. But what if you knew what the ideal education looked like? Now you will!!!C.S. Lewis, the beloved author of the Chronicles of Narnia series, guides us on a journey that contrasts classical and contemporary education approaches. Lewis explains that while the cultivation of virtue was central to classical education, modern education stifles such moral formation by teaching a scientifically-inspired mechanistic vision of the world.

Colonizing and Decolonizing Africa: The History and Legacy of European Imperialism Across the African Continent Charles River Editors
Includes picturesIncludes accounts Includes online resources and a bibliography for further readingIncludes a table of contents The modern history of Africa was, until very recently, written on behalf of the indigenous races by the white man, who had forcefully entered the continent during a particularly hubristic and dynamic phase of European history. In 1884, Prince Otto von Bismark, the German chancellor, brought the plenipotentiaries of all major powers of Europe together, to deal with Africa's colonization in such a manner as to avoid provocation of war. This event—known as the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885—galvanized a phenomenon that came to be known as the Scramble for Africa. The conference established two fundamental rules for European seizure of Africa. The first of these was ...

Common Sense, Rights of Man, and Other Essential Writings of Thomas Paine Thomas Paine
This volume collects together the most important writings of founding father Thomas Paine. First published on January 10, 1776, “Common Sense” was one the most influential and best-selling works from the colonial period.

Third is the “Rights of Man” a refutation of Edmund Burke’s “Reflections on the Revolution in France” i...

“La premisa fundamental a partir de la cual se estructura esta obra y que se convierte a la vez en su eje articulador, está contenida en el enunciado de que la generación del conocimiento, los procesos de innovación y gestión de la tecnología, así como el desarrollo industrial, no pueden ser un fin en sí mismos, sino más bien un medio para que la humanidad en su conjunto pueda, además de satisfacer las necesidades más básicas y elementales, alcanzar mejores niveles de calidad de vida.”Esta obra invita a una profunda reflexión sobre el sentido y la pertinencia de los diferentes procesos de desarrollo del conocimiento innovación tecnológica, más allá de los límites artificiales e ilusorios de cada disciplina. **
The Complete Peanuts Vol. 1: 1950-1952 Charles Schulz
This first volume, covering the first two and a quarter years of the strip, will be of particular fascination toPeanuts aficionados worldwide: Although there have been literally hundreds of Peanuts books published, many of the strips from the series' first two or three years have never been collected before―in large part because they showed a young Schulz working out the kinks in his new strip and include some characterizations and designs that are quite different from the cast we're all familiar with. (Among other things, three major cast members―Schroeder, Lucy, and Linus―initially show up as infants and only "grow" into their final "mature" selves as the months go by. Even Snoopy debuts as a puppy!) Thus The Complete Peanuts offers a unique chance to see a master of the art form refine ...

Crowns in Conflict: The Triumph and the Tragedy of European Monarchy 1910-1918 Theo Aronson
"Here, Theo Aronson has assembled the entire cast of embattled monarchs. His is the story of eight momentous years viewed, as it were, from the monarchical standpoint; an account of the passing, not only of their particular world, but of the entire monarchic and dynastic order of the Continent.

La revolución francesa supuso el colapso y fin definitivo de la sociedad del Antiguo Régimen. La sociedad estamental, la autoridad y soberanía del régimen monárquico absolutista y la primacía del poder religioso fueron cuestionadas. A medida que el viejo mundo iba quedándose atrás surgieron detractores y críticos que, desde la reacción y oposición furibunda contra el emergente régimen liberal, anticiparon las ideas, en fase embrionaria, que integrarían el discurso antimoderno en lo sucesivo.La contrarrevolución antiliberal estuvo liderada por diversos autores, entre los que podemos destacar a Joseph De Maistre, cuya particular visión de la entrada del mundo en la contemporaneidad actual ha suscitado no pocos estudios y teorías por parte de destacados especialistas en la materia como Isaiah...
