Book Description
Abordar el complejo tema de la historia de la historiografía del siglo XX, vista como una unidad global, y analizada desde un punto de vista genuinamente crítico, implica asumir con plena conciencia tanto los desafíos importantes que esta empresa conlleva, como también los necesarios límites a los que deberá someterse dicho abordaje crítico. Porque si de lo que se trata es de intentar mirar de manera totalizante y abarcativa lo que ha sido el periplo completo de esta historiografía del siglo XX, es claro que dicha mirada y análisis sólo serán posibles a partir de ese emplazamiento determinado que, hace ya casi medio siglo, fue definido por Fernand Braudel como la perspectiva analítica de la larga duración histórica. Es decir que para ser capaces de aprehender realmente lo que han sido los itinerarios esenciales de esta curva general recorrida por los estudios históricos del siglo XX, habrá que mirar estos procesos de una manera vasta y amplia, que sea capaz de ubicar, en primer lugar, lo que esta historiografía del siglo XX ha representado, en relación a la curva más general de lo que ha sido la propia historia de la disciplina histórica, e incluso del campo del saber que ha sido ocupado por las muy diversas formas de conocimiento que, a lo largo de los siglos y milenios se han designado con ese mismo término de 'historia'. Y en consecuencia, que sea capaz de explicarnos el salto específico y la modalidad singular que representa la historiografía más contemporánea respecto de esas formas anteriores de ejercicio de la propia práctica histórica.

Book Description
Tras más de treinta libros y toda un vida dedicada a escribir y enseñar historia, John Lukacs vuelve la vista atrás y reflexiona sobre el ayer y el hoy de su oficio, sobre las muchas mudanzas en las modas y las costumbres que ha presenciado durante su larga carrera. Y trata de imaginar un futuro, un espacio donde su labor siga teniendo sentido. Con esta sencilla base, Lukacs firma la que quizá sea su obra maestra: un libro agridulce, realista y certero, escéptico pero cargado de ilusiones. El futuro de la Historia es el legado de un hombre al que durante toda su vida le obsesionó que la historia sea ante todo literatura de la mejor calidad, que ha reflexionado a fondo sobre los vínculos entre historia y la narrativa, que descree de las “ciencias sociales” y de las modas historiográficas, y que brinda por los grandes historiadores jóvenes, por el futuro. Emocionante, irónico, a veces desconcertante, a veces capaz de generar grandes preguntas con una reflexión aparentemente azarosa, Lukacs demuestra con El futuro de la Historia su maestría como prosista... y como historiador. “Una obra imprescindible para cualquiera que se interese por la historia en el siglo xxi”. Stanley G. Payne, hispanista “Nadie ha hecho más que John Lukacs por convertir la narración histórica corta en una forma de arte”. Antony Beevor, autor de Berlín. La caída: 1945 y Stalingrado John Lukacs (1924) Nacido en Hungría y residente en Estados Unidos, John Lukacs está considerado como uno de los principales expertos del mundo en la historia de las dos guerras mundiales. Ha compaginado durante casi cinco décadas la labor docente, como profesor de historia en diversas universidades estadounidenses, con su carrera de escritor. En esta colección se han publicado cuatro de sus obras anteriores.

Book Description
Authoring the Past surveys medieval Catalan historiography, shedding light on the emergence and evolution of historical writing and autobiography in the Middle Ages, on questions of authority and authorship, and on the links between history and politics during the period. Jaume Aurell examines texts from the late twelfth to the late fourteenth century—including the Latin Gesta comitum Barcinonensium and four texts in medieval Catalan: James I’s Llibre dels fets, the Crònica of Bernat Desclot, the Crònica of Ramon Muntaner, and the Crònica of Peter the Ceremonious—and outlines the different motivations for the writing of each. For Aurell, these chronicles are not mere archaeological artifacts but rather documents that speak to their writers’ specific contemporary social and political purposes. He argues that these Catalonian counts and Aragonese kings were attempting to use their role as authors to legitimize their monarchical status, their growing political and economic power, and their aggressive expansionist policies in the Mediterranean. By analyzing these texts alongside one another, Aurell demonstrates the shifting contexts in which chronicles were conceived, written, and read throughout the Middle Ages. The first study of its kind to make medieval Catalonian writings available to English-speaking audiences, Authoring the Past will be of interest to scholars of history and comparative literature, students of Hispanic and Romance medieval studies, and medievalists who study the chronicle tradition in other languages.

Book Description
This vivid exposé of corruption and political tyranny in the Dominican Republic rang so true to the reality that the President of that country went on television to denounce the book. Sención's novel follows the lives of three seminary students who suffer from church-state oppression. The book also gives a chilling portrait of Dr. Ramos, a sinister autocrat, who manages to survive six terms as president of his country through manipulation and tyranny.

Book Description
Magicians, necromancers and astrologers are assiduous characters in the European golden age theatre. This book deals with dramatic characters who act as physiognomists or palm readers in the fictional world and analyses the fictionalisation of physiognomic lore as a practice of divination in early modern Romance theatre from Pietro Aretino and Giordano Bruno to Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca and Thomas Corneille.

Book Description
The Weimar era in Germany is often characterized as a time of significant change. Such periods of rupture transform the way people envision the past, present, and future. This book traces the conceptions of time and history in the Germany of the early 20th century. By focusing on both the discourse and practices of the youth movement, the author shows how it reinterpreted and revived the past to overthrow the premises of modern historical thought. In so doing, this book provides insight into the social implications of the ideological de-historicization of the past.

Book Description
This definitive edition of Columbus's account of the voyage presents the most accurate printed version of his journal available to date. Unfortunately both Columbus's original manuscript, presented to Ferdinand and Isabella along with other evidence of his discoveries, and a single complete copy have been lost for centuries. The primary surviving record of the voyage-part quotation, part summary of the complete copy-is a transcription made by Bartolome de las Casas in the 1530s. This new edition of the Las Casas manuscript presents its entire contents-including notes, insertions, and canceled text-more accurately, completely, and graphically than any other Spanish text published so far. In addition, the new translation, which strives for readability and accuracy, appears on pages facing the Spanish, encouraging on-the- spot comparisons of the translation with the original. Study of the work is further facilitated by extensive notes, documenting differences between the editors' transcription and translation and those of other transcribers and translators and summarizing current research and debates on unanswered current research and debates on unanswered questions concerning the voyage. In addition to being the only edition in which Spanish and English are presented side by side, this edition includes the only concordance ever prepared for the Diario. Awaited by scholars, this new edition will help reduce the guesswork that has long plagued the study of Columbus's voyage. It may shed light on a number of issues related to Columbus's navigational methods and the identity of his landing places, issues whose resolution depend, at least in part, on an accurate transcription of the Diario. Containing day-by-day accounts of the voyage and the first sighting of land, of the first encounters with the native populations and the first appraisals of his islands explored, and of a suspenseful return voyage to Spain, the Diario provides a fascinating and useful account to historians, geographers, anthropologists, sailors, students, and anyone else interested in the discovery-or in a very good sea story. Oliver Dunn received the PH.D. degree from Cornell University. He is Professor Emeritus in Purdue University and a longtime student of Spanish and early history of Spanish America. James E. Kelley, Jr., received the M.A. degree from American University. A mathematician and computer and management consultant by vocation, for the past twenty years he has studied the history of European cartography and navigation in late-medieval times. Both are members of the Society for the History of Discoveries and have written extensively on the history of navigation and on Columbus's first voyage, Although they remain unconvinced of its conclusions, both were consultants to the National geographic Society's 1986 effort to establish Samana Cay as the site of Columbus's first landing.
