En este libro comprenderá cómo Cristóbal Colón propuso algo nuevo: alcanzar las riquezas de las Indias Orientales navegando desde Europa hacia el oeste. Los gobernantes de España accedieron a apoyar su arriesgada empresa y Cristóbal Colón zarpó en 1492. Inesperadamente se topó con dos continentes que nadie conocía en Europa. Sin embargo, no descubrió los continentes; eso ya se había hecho siglos antes.

Cloud-boats have been spied on the Eastern Sea. Mysterious aliens with silvery skins have come ashore in Totonac province. Their eyes are difficult to look upon, shining like jade and jewels in various hues. They have brought with them monstrous animals resembling gigantic deer. Although the beasts are much larger than a man, the demons impose their wills on them, climbing on their backs and forcing them to run in any direction with blinding speed. The monsters have feet as hard as obsidian. The teotl bear armor of bright metal on their bodies, covering their legs and arms. They have ...

Este audiolibro es un retrato del hotel, de las vidas que vio pasar y de los acontecimientos memorables que presenció: la elección de candidatos presidenciales, los desplantes de actrices nacionales e internacionales, la inauguración del Palacio de Bellas Artes y los inicios del periódico Excélsior. Tras sus puertas, en sus habitaciones, en su mítico Capri y en los legendarios baños de vapor, los personajes que forjaron la vida moderna de la Ciudad de México se dieron cita para hacer de un edificio, un emblema.

Junípero Serra has been relentlessly attacked since he was canonized by Pope Francis in 2015. His statues from Sacramento to San Diego have been vandalized. Padre Serra has become a scapegoat for all abuses ever inflicted on Native Americans, real or imagined. In reality, Serra was a saintly man who cared deeply for the indigenous peoples of Alta California. The mission system he established endured for sixty years, encompassing generations of converted Indians, most of whom willing left behind their lives in the wilderness to enjoy the benefits of civilized society. This book tells the ...

Newspaper headlines and prime-time TV interviews lauded Enrique Peña Nieto after he won Mexico’s 2012 presidential election. Time Magazine front covered him as “The Savior of Mexico.” By the second year of his administration it had become obvious that the savior was a failure. Attempted cover ups failed to conceal an economy based on self-enrichment and the impoverishment of overly 40 percent of the population and the disappearance of forty-three young student protesters. Peña Nieto’s wobbly status became even more fragile when he encountered US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

"¿A dónde llevará al país y a millones de mexicanos el Gobierno de Andrés Manuel López Obrador? ¿Sobrevivirá México a la destrucción en marcha?".

Zapata was associated with political efforts against Daz and the landowning hacendados from an early age, and when the Revolution emerged in the year 1910, he was placed as a key figure in the peasant insurgence in Morelos. He established the Freedom Army of the South with the help of certain other peasant leaders, and he rapidly rose to become its undisputed head.

Das erste Volk, dem es gelang, sich zu einer Kultur zu entwickeln, waren die Olmeken. Aber warum sind sie bisher relativ unbekannt geblieben, versteckt in den langen, dunklen Korridoren der vergessenen Geschichte? Die Wahrheit ist, dass nur wenige Historiker bereit sind, sich der Aufgabe zu stellen, die wahre Geschichte der Olmeken zu entschlüsseln. Vier faszinierende Manuskripte in einem Buch: Die Olmeken, Die Kultur der Zapoteken, Die Geschichte der Maya, Geschichte der Azteken.

Die Kultur der Zapoteken lebte und blühte und weckte das Interesse der spanischen Konquistadoren. Als eine der größten mesoamerikanischen Zivilisationen jener Zeit trugen sie dazu bei die Welt, die die Konquistadoren bei ihrer Ankunft vorfanden, zu formen und zu gestalten. In Größe und Komplexität ihrer Gesellschaft nahmen sie es mit ihren Nachbarn, den Maya, auf. Sie waren Erneuerer und Intellektuelle, die eine Gesellschaft schufen, die den Königreichen und Sozialstrukturen der Maya sehr ähnlich war.

Die Kultur der Maya ist aber natürlich sehr viel facettenreicher als ein Missverständnis um die Deutung ihres Kalenders. Wie Sie sehen werden, handelt es sich bei den Maya um eine der wichtigsten und einflussreichsten Zivilisationen Mesoamerikas. Die Maya machten nicht nur Errungenschaften auf dem Gebiet der Astronomie, sie erzielten auch bahnbrechende Leistungen in der Landwirtschaft, der Ingenieurkunst und der Kommunikation.

Wussten Sie, dass die Olmeken vielleicht das erste Volk waren, das die Schrift einführte? Das erste Volk, dem es gelang, sich zu einer Kultur zu entwickeln, waren die Olmeken. Aber warum sind sie bisher relativ unbekannt geblieben, versteckt in den langen, dunklen Korridoren der vergessenen Geschichte? In diesem neuen Band der Reihe Captivating History werden Sie die Wahrheit über die erste bekannte Zivilisation Amerikas erfahren.

For 500 år siden blev den storslåede aztekiske hovedstad, Tenochtitlan, erobret af spanske conquistadorer og deres indianske allierede. Snart efter lå dette drømmesyn af en by i ruiner. I dag ligger Tenochtitlan begravet under Mexico City - som en by under byen og et stærkt vidnesbyrd om Mexicos fascinerende historie. Overalt i det centrale og sydlige Mexico findes ruinbyer, tempelpyramider og paladser med vægmalerier og rige grave fra en lang række af de højt udviklede kulturer, der tilsammen udgjorde den mesoamerikanske civilisation.

Il Messico è il paese dei contrasti estremi. E all'estremo di tutto, c'è Mahahual: dove finisce la penisola dello Yucatán, sorge questo paesino di mille abitanti, a pochi chilometri dalla frontiera con il Belize. Angolo di paradiso tra palme e mangrovie, di fronte ha la barriera corallina seconda al mondo per estensione, il Mar dei Caraibi e lo scorrere lento del tempo: siamo nello stato del Quintana Roo, che a nord vanta la celebre Cancún, mentre qui c'è l'opposto assoluto, non solo geografico, perché a Mahahual il cemento non ha ancora invaso la vista.

This is the untold story of the American federal agent who captured the world's most wanted drug lord. Every generation has its larger-than-life criminal legend living beyond the reach of the law: Billy the Kid, Al Capone, Ronnie Biggs, Pablo Escobar. But for every one of these criminals, there's a Wyatt Earp, Pat Garrett or Slipper of the Yard. For Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán-Loera, aka 'El Chapo' - the 21st century's most notorious criminal - that man is DEA Special Agent Cole Merrell.

Audiolibro de Vive el Tiempo. Sin lugar a dudas la llamada Conspiración de Valladolid de 1809 representa para la memoria colectiva del pueblo de México uno de esos hitos fundamentales de la historia de este país, porque fue ahí en donde se expresó por primera vez el idea de independencia de la nación.

This is a paper that I wrote very early during my undergraduate work, and I cannot promise that it is very good, but it does give a fair overview of what the Aztecs faced in their final days, at the hands of Cortes and his men. The Aztecs stood up against immeasurable odds, fighting whom they believed, at first, were their gods, finally returned to Earth. When they realized their error, it was too late.

Giuseppe Mantovani ci conduce alla scoperta del Messico degli aztechi attraverso il racconto della campagna di conquista di Cortez. Capiremo...

Chi sono i Maya? Cosa realmente si sa della loro civiltà davvero unica che per molti aspetti è ancora avvolta nel mistero? Furono un popolo organizzato in classi sociali, combattivo, con conoscenze scientifiche avanzate dal punto di vista matematico e in particolare astronomico. Conoscevano l'arte divinatoria e con i loro famosi calendari di pietra erano in grado di prevedere eventi futuri. Gli avvenimenti predetti e documentati che poi sono realmente accaduti, sono numerosissimi.
