Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Los Arabes

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.

El instante más oscuro

Libro El instante más oscuro

Este es el relato del tiempo angustioso que vivió Gran Bretaña en mayo de 1940, desde el día 10, en que las tropas de Hitler iniciaron la invasión de Holanda, hasta el 29, cuando los soldados británicos y franceses derrotados por los alemanes embarcaron en Dunquerque para refugiarse en Inglaterra. Esta es una historia que se suele narrar en tonos de epopeya, pero que aquí se revive en torno a la figura de Winston Churchill, de acuerdo con la verdad de aquellos días inciertos, reconstruida con una amplia documentación, que incluye las discusiones del gobierno, y con los testimonios de...
