El mundo de los bloques, 1945-1989

La exploración polar es la experiencia más cruel y solitaria imaginable. El explorador británico Apsley Cherry- Garrard nos lo cuenta a través de sus vivencias en la expedición del capitán Scott al Polo Sur (1910- 1913), en la que éste y tres de sus hombres hallaron la muerte. A partir de las anotaciones que dejó Scott y, sobre todo, de su propia experiencia, Cherry-Garrard reconstruye en este libro aquellos tres años de penalidades y heroísmo.

Quizás por estas razones la violencia, en todas sus posibles manifestaciones, lejos de ser un tema obsoleto, continúa teniendo un gran potencial como cuestión historiográfica, tal y como muestran las investigaciones que conforman este libro. De la mano de...
