Palenque

Resumen del Libro

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 discoverya 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.

Epistolista por necesidad, debido a sus múltiples cargos diplomáticos, pero aficionado también al género epistolar por puro gusto literario, Valera...

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...
