El Papa Juan Pablo II

Sinopsis del Libro

Pope John Paul II is a remarkable photographic journey documenting the 25 years of the papacy of John Paul II, one of the most remarkable figures of the twentieth century. Spanning from the days when Karol Wojtyla was still a cardinal to his death and the election of today's Pope Benedict XVI, this book contains historical photographs and very personal moments of the life of the pope. These revealing and poignant photographs show the pope in his full humanity, and not just as the former head of the Catholic Church: photographs of the pope laughing, with his clothes blown by the wind, while President Jimmy Carter struggles to help fix them; the pope losing his papal hat while kissing the ground; a beautiful series of six sequential photographs capturing the various intimate expressions of the pope ... all of these give the book a personal feeling. Designed to be the size of an average hand-held bible--and with gold-edged pages and ribbon dividers--this book includes 180 images bound in 306 pages and promises to become a keepsake. The photographs are from the famed agency Contact Press Images, headed by Robert Pledge, who also edited the book.

Diana Mosley

Diana Mosley was one of the most fascinating and controversial figures of recent times. For some, she was a cult; for many, anathema. Born in 1910 Diana was the most beautiful and the cleverest of the six Mitford sisters. She was eighteen when she married Bryan Guinness, of the brewing dynasty, by whom she had two sons. After four years, she left him for the fascist leader, Oswald Mosley, and set herself up as Mosley's mistress - a course of action that horrified her family and scandalised society. In 1933 she took her sister Unity to Germany; soon both had met the new German leader, Adolf...

Vilma Espín

A brief biography of underground activist, guerilla fighter, leader of the Cuban revolution and founder of the Cuban women's movement, Vilma Espin. From the moment she joined the movement to overthrow the Batista dictatorship in the 1950s, Vilma became an irreplaceable part of the Cuban revolutionary movement. After their sucessful overthrow of Batista in 1959, Espin played a key role in advancing the position of women through the founding of the Cuban Women's Federation. Often regarded as Cuba's first lady, she was the wife of President Raul Castro.

Historia de un matrimonio

Mucho se ha especulado acerca del matrimonio entre Cristina de Borbón e Iñaki Urdangarin, una relación que no ha hecho más que sumar mentiras y convertir lo que parecía un sueño en una auténtica pesadilla. La periodista Silvia Taulés ha indagado en la peculiar historia de esta pareja, en los aspectos más desconocidos, desde esos días en los que —según confesión de un íntimo amigo de la misma— «llevábamos a la infanta tumbada en la parte de atrás del coche para que nadie la pudiera seguir, ni sus escoltas», a la soledad ante el juez por el proceso del Caso Nóos. En estas...

Américo Vespucio

Américo Vespucio, que legó su nombre al Nuevo Mundo, no participó sin embargo en su descubrimiento, ni tampoco pretendió jamás bautizarlo. Entonces, ¿por qué lleva su nombre el continente? En este ensayo, escrito en 1941 y publicado póstumamente, Zweig reconstruye el conjunto de circunstancias, casualidades y malentendidos que explican el extraño error que inmortalizó a Vespucio. Paradójicamente, Colón descubrió América, pero no la reconoció, mientras que Vespucio, que no la descubrió, fue el primero en reconocerla como un nuevo continente. Y es que lo decisivo de un hecho es...
