Resumen del Libro

Libro Palenque

Mysterious ancient ruins, hidden deep in the jungle of southern Mexico In May 1840, explorers John Stephens and Frederick Catherwood road their mules along a steep, muddy jungle path. They were hoping to find the ruins of an ancient, deserted site in Mexico they knew only from visitors’ accounts. Through the trees, they spied the remains of a crumbling stone palace. Palenque! In the weeks they spent there, the men discovered intricately designed buildings and mysterious glyphs, or symbols. Who built this city? What did the glyphs mean? The questions remained largely unanswered until the 1950s, when Mexican archaeologist Alberto Ruz Lhuillier began his work at Palenque. By this time, he knew the ruins were those of the ancient Maya, who lived across Mexico and Central America more than one thousand years ago. After exhaustive work, Ruz and his crew made an amazing discovery—a tomb buried deep inside a pyramid. Through intensive study of Mayan glyphs, they learned the tomb was that of the great Mayan king Pakal, who died in 683 A.D. Since then, archaeologists have discovered much more about Mayan pyramids, writing, and architecture. Read this intriguing volume to learn about Palenque and about the mysteries that still remain.

Viaje a Rusia

Libro Viaje a Rusia

En 1926 el Frankfurter Zeitung propuso a Joseph Roth ir a la Unión Soviética y relatar su experiencia. Roth aceptó de buen grado el encargo puesto que el periplo que estaba a punto de emprender representaba la ocasión para conocer de cerca un país por el que siempre se había sentido atraído y que, tras la revolución, suscitaba también el interés de la mayoría de intelectuales europeos. Tras prepararse intensamente para el más largo de sus viajes como reportero, Roth partió al término del verano. Curioso, atento, avisado testimonio, visitó las grandes ciudades, siguió el curso...

Livin' la vida beauty

Libro Livin' la vida beauty

Ya conoces bien mi nombre, sabes que nací catalana y me crie manchega, y que me quedé con lo mejor de las dos tierras. Los ratones siempre me parece que sonríen, y por eso me han gustado toda la vida. Siempre odié mi carrera: me dediqué al diseño gráfico huyendo de la contabilidad, y YouTube llegó como un hobby que mutó de repente y sin aviso en ocupación full time. Ratolina es mi yo pequeñito con orejas de ratón y muchas cosas que decir sobre el mundo beauty. Ricky Martin le cantó una oda a la vida loca, pero si respiras este mundo nuestro de mil texturas y colores, sabes bien...

El Cementerio Africano (The African Burial Ground)

Libro El Cementerio Africano (The African Burial Ground)

In 1991, preparation for the construction of a new federal office building led to a startling discovery: a skeleton. Further excavation exposed the bones of 420 men, women, and children. This area of New York had been a burial ground set aside for both free and enslaved Africans during the 1600s and 1700s. It’s thought to be one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the 20th century. This noteworthy book—which includes sidebars, fact boxes, a timeline, and maps—fills in the gaps of history books, exposing much about what life was like in colonial New York for Africans.
