Cerro Gordo

Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Cerro Gordo

High in the Inyo Mountains, between Owens Valley and Death Valley National Park, lies the ghost town of Cerro Gordo. Discovered in 1865, this silver town boomed to a population of 3,000 people in the hands of savvy entrepreneurs during the 1870s. As the silver played out and the town faded, a few hung on to the dream. By the early 1900s, Louis D. Gordon wandered up the Yellow Grade Road where freight wagons once traversed with silver and supplies and took a closer look at the zinc ore that had been tossed aside by early miners. The Fat Hill lived again, primarily as a small company town. By the last quarter of the 20th century, Jody Stewart and Mike Patterson found themselves owners of the rough and tumble camp that helped Los Angeles turn into a thriving metropolis because of silver and commercial trade. Cerro Gordo found new life, second to Bodie, as California's best-preserved ghost town.

Ilustración y liberalismo en España

Libro Ilustración y liberalismo en España

Valle Inclán lo explicó en los versos modernistas de La marquesa Rosalinda. A diferencia de Francia, aquí no volaban libremente tras los boscajes, ni furtivos besos del Trianón, ni las ideas de Voltaire y Rousseau: con los ramajes de los boscajes, aquí hacía hogueras la Inquisición. El atraso económico, a pesar del imperio, y la intolerancia, crearon condiciones extremas para que las luces arraigaran en España y no obstante el esfuerzo de reforma del absolutismo ilustrado hizo posible esa tarea casi heroica. Una minoría intelectual encontró una estructura de oportunidad en la...

Fidel Castro

Libro Fidel Castro

Hoffnungsträger der Dritten Welt oder rücksichtsloser Despot? Fidel Castro, Máximo Líder der kubanischen Revolution, polarisiert wie kaum eine andere Figur des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er hat unzählige Mordanschläge, die Amtszeit von zehn US-Präsidenten und den Zusammenbruch der Sowjetunion überlebt. Diese Biografie zeigt, wie Castro seine charismatische Herrschaft im Spannungsfeld der Supermächte begründen, verfestigen und trotz aller Krisen bis in die Gegenwart ausbauen konnte. Dabei präsentiert der Autor neue Quellen und wertet erstmals die spanischsprachige Sekundärliteratur aus, die ...
