Los Arabes

Sinopsis del Libro

A riveting, comprehensive history of the Arab people and tribes that explores the role of language as a cultural touchstone. This kaleidoscopic book covers almost 3,000 years of Arab history and shines a light on the footloose Arab people and tribes who conquered lands and disseminated their language and culture over vast distances. Tracing this process to the origins of the Arabic language, rather than the advent of Islam, Tim Mackintosh-Smith begins his narrative more than a thousand years before Muhammad and focuses on how Arabic, both spoken and written, has functioned as a vital source of shared cultural identity over the millennia. Mackintosh-Smith reveals how linguistic developments--from pre-Islamic poetry to the growth of script, Muhammad's use of writing, and the later problems of printing Arabic--have helped and hindered the progress of Arab history, and investigates how, even in today's politically fractured post-Arab Spring environment, Arabic itself is still a source of unity and disunity.

Las circunstancias militares anunciaban una fácil victoria del rey Pedro y la consolidación de una gran monarquía feudal hispano-occitana a caballo de los Pirineos. Sin embargo, la batalla de Muret se convirtió en una de esas derrotas...

Las Damas de Blanco

Las Damas de Blanco surgieron durante la celebración del Día de la Madre del año 2003, cuando un grupo de mujeres debió asumir las consecuencias de la detención arbitraria de sus familiares. El grupo se formó de manera espontánea; hoy cuenta con la participación de mujeres provenientes de todo el país, que profesan diversos credos religiosos y tienen distintas posiciones políticas, pero comparten una causa común: lograr la libertad inmediata de sus familiares, injustamente detenidos durante el período de mayor represión que Cuba haya conocido en los últimos años.
