Story
Por primera vez un volumen reúne la historia de España escrita por Arturo Pérez-Reverte durante mÔs de cuatro años en su columna «Patente de corso» del XL Semanal. Un relato ameno, personal, a ratos irónico, pero siempre único, de nuestra accidentada historia a través de los siglos. Una obra concebida por el autor para, en palabras suyas, «divertirme, releer y disfrutar; un pretexto para mirar atrÔs desde los tiempos remotos hasta el presente, reflexionar un poco sobre ello y contarlo por escrito de una manera poco ortodoxa.»

ĀæOtro libro sobre la guerra civil? Pues sĆ, otro, pero con una diferencia: no confunde con datos innecesarios y relata lo ocurrido en aquellos tres aƱos de locura homicida sin catequizar sobre quiĆ©nes eran los buenos y quiĆ©nes eran los malos. No es una novela, porque todo lo que cuenta ocurrió (incluso las menudas historias que espantan o que mueven a risa), pero se oye como una novela y pretende instruir deleitando.

En este libro, que abarca desde los canĆbales de Atapuerca hasta el talante del presidente Zapatero, no he pretendido escribir la historia que escribirĆa el pueblo, ya que el pueblo es Ć”grafo por naturaleza, sino, mĆ”s bien, una historia de EspaƱa contada para escĆ©pticos que no creen en la historia de EspaƱa. No pretendo que sea veraz, justa y desapasionada, porque ninguna historia lo es, pero por lo menos intentarĆ© que no mienta ni tergiverse a sabiendas, que ya es un propósito sobradamente ambicioso en los tiempos que corren.

La Ć©pica revuelta del pueblo de Castilla contra el abuso de poder de Carlos V culminó en la batalla de Villalar, el 23 de abril de 1521. Las tropas imperiales arrollaron a las de las Comunidades de Castilla y decapitaron a sus principales capitanes: Padilla, Bravo y Maldonado. Aquella jornada marcó el declive definitivo de un próspero reino que se extendĆa a lo largo de tres continentes y cuya disolución dio lugar a un nuevo Imperio que se sirvió de sus gentes y sus recursos.

Publisher's Summary
El descubrimiento de las Fuentes del Nilo, la expedición Malaspina, las visitas de tribus vikingas a tierras del Guadalquivir, Blas de Lezo, el «Lago Español»... y otros acontecimientos singulares que permanecen olvidados en la Historia de España.
Muchos conocemos que Felipe II dispuso la Armada Invencible para castigar a Inglaterra por sus acciones de piraterĆa y ataques a las colonias espaƱolas... y que fracasó; pero ĀæquiĆ©nes saben que Inglaterra sufrió su mayor derrota naval a manos de Blas de Lezo, que contaba con un soldado espaƱol por cada diez ingleses? O que Malaspina llevó a cabo una de las expediciones cientĆficas mĆ”s osadas del siglo xviii. ĀæQuiĆ©n sabe que EspaƱa envió alrededor del mundo una expedición para vacunar contra la viruela a miles y miles de personas condenadas a morir por la enfermedad? Que la Inquisición espaƱola, pese a su fama, fue el tribunal inquisitorial mĆ”s condescendiente de todas las inquisiciones europeas. ĀæY que Inglaterra y Estados Unidos fueron, en su tiempo, los paĆses mĆ”s interesados en falsear parte de la historia de EspaƱa para ocultar la suya propia? Si hablamos de la Paz de las Tres Vacas, ĀæquiĆ©n advierte que es el tratado de paz vigente mĆ”s antiguo de Europa, por el que Francia sigue pagando en la actualidad tres vacas a EspaƱa cada aƱo? ĀæQuiĆ©n sabe que las terribles tribus vikingas llegaron hasta Córdoba o Sevilla? O que las legendarias Fuentes del Nilo fueron descubiertas por un espaƱol en el siglo xvii. ĀæCuĆ”ntos conocen que el ocĆ©ano PacĆfico --que cubre un tercio de toda la superficie de la tierra-- fue llamado el Ā«Lago EspaƱolĀ» por los enemigos de EspaƱa?... Estos, y muchos otros, son algunos de los capĆtulos que nunca debieron olvidarse, disfruta descubriĆ©ndolos con esta sorprendente y rigurosa obra: Eso no estaba en mi libro de Historia de EspaƱa.Ā

Imprescindible
Simplemente maravilloso. Gracias.
Quedé deslumbrado por su contenido y narración. Ahora subyace la pregunta una y otra vez ...
¿Por qué no estaba todo esto en mis libros?
¿A quiénes encargaron la tarea de redactar aquellos, y posiblemente estos, libros de historia?
Espero que la verdad continúe saliendo a la luz y se refleje en los libros de texto y en la conciencia de los españoles y, de esta manera, vayamos derrotando ese sentimiento absurdo de culpa e inferioridad.
Viva España.

This is the first volume in a bold new series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. This narrative history employs the methods of "history from beneath" - literature, epic traditions, private letters, and accounts - to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as itās performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne.Ā In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.Ā

Story
This is the first volume in a bold new series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. This narrative history employs the methods of "history from beneath" - literature, epic traditions, private letters, and accounts - to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled.

Story
Welcome to the summer of 1985 in Philadelphia, when the city was rockedāin almost every sense of the wordāby two unprecedented events: Mayor W. Wilson Goodeās May 13 decision to bomb the headquarters of MOVE, a controversial Philadelphia-based radical communal organization, and the July 13 Live Aid concert, where international rock royalty convened in Philly to raise money for victims of the Ethiopian famine. Separated by just two months and eight miles, these events would showcase both the best and the worst of the so-called City of Brotherly Love.

Language defines us as a species, placing humans head and shoulders above even the most proficient animal communicators. But it also beguiles us with its endless mysteries, allowing us to ponder why different languages emerged, why there isn't simply a single language, how languages change over time and whether that's good or bad, and how languages die out and become extinct.
