Book Description
De regreso de su periplo por Italia (La estatua de Bronce), el investigador Marco Didio Falco es contratado por el emperador para llevar a cabo un trabajo en Hacienda. Pero, desgraciadamente, Marco comete un imperdonable error contable que le lleva directamente a la mítica cárcel de Latumia, donde el ruido de las ratas le atormenta día y noche. Será gracias a la labor continua y tenaz de su madre (que progresivamente va cobrando más importáncia en la serie) que Marco conseguirá recuperar la libertad y aclarar el embrollo en el que se ha metido. Una trama muy característica del género negro, con unas gotas de humor (a Sam Spade o a Dick Tracy nunca le libraría de la prisión su madre) y a través de la cual queda expuesta de un modo fiel y veraz la vida cotidiana en la Roma del año 70 d.c.

Book Description
In this book, Katina Lillios provides an up-to-date synthesis of the rich histories of the peoples who lived on the Iberian Peninsula between 1,400,000 (the Paleolithic) and 3,500 years ago (the Bronze Age) as revealed in their art, burials, tools, and monuments. She highlights the exciting new discoveries on the Peninsula, including the evidence for some of the earliest hominins in Europe, Neanderthal art, interbreeding between Neanderthals and modern humans, and relationships to peoples living in North Africa, the Mediterranean, and Western Europe. This is the first book to relate the ancient history of the Peninsula to broader debates in anthropology and archaeology. Amply illustrated and written in an accessible style, it will be of interest to archaeologists and students of prehistoric Spain and Portugal.

Book Description
First published in Cuba in 1954 and appearing here in English for the first time, Lydia Cabrera’s El Monte is a foundational and iconic study of Afro-Cuban religious and cultural traditions. Drawing on conversations with elderly Afro-Cuban priests who were one or two generations away from the transatlantic slave trade, Cabrera combines ethnography, history, folklore, literature, and botany to provide a panoramic account of the multifaceted influence of Afro-Atlantic cultures in Cuba. Cabrera details the natural and spiritual landscape of the Cuban monte (forest, wilderness) and discusses hundreds of herbs and the constellations of deities, sacred rites, and knowledge that envelop them. The result is a complex spiritual and medicinal architecture of Afro-Cuban cultures. This new edition of what is often referred to as “the Santería bible” includes a new foreword, introduction, and translator notes. As a seminal work in the study of the African diaspora that has profoundly impacted numerous fields, Cabrera’s magnum opus is essential for scholars, activists, and religious devotees of Afro-Cuban traditions alike.
