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.

A un mar futuro

In a sea of future flows much poetic adventure of John Malpartida. It is not a summary but a high point of the spiral, in which gravitation of old and new issues is allied to a decanting of aesthetic expression unabated. This is a poem, as noted in its day Octavio Paz in relation to his first book, in which "the body thinks, thought embodies". On the other hand, it is difficult to separate this poetic work of fiction, and even some of his essays, because it involves the deepening of the same myth (or a set of images, feelings and thoughts) that draw a work: not the face of the author but a...
