Los Arabes

Resumen del Libro

A riveting, comprehensive history of the Arab people and tribes that explores the role of language as a cultural touchstone. This kaleidoscopic book covers almost 3,000 years of Arab history and shines a light on the footloose Arab people and tribes who conquered lands and disseminated their language and culture over vast distances. Tracing this process to the origins of the Arabic language, rather than the advent of Islam, Tim Mackintosh-Smith begins his narrative more than a thousand years before Muhammad and focuses on how Arabic, both spoken and written, has functioned as a vital source of shared cultural identity over the millennia. Mackintosh-Smith reveals how linguistic developments--from pre-Islamic poetry to the growth of script, Muhammad's use of writing, and the later problems of printing Arabic--have helped and hindered the progress of Arab history, and investigates how, even in today's politically fractured post-Arab Spring environment, Arabic itself is still a source of unity and disunity.

Paises Guay

La Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) tiene 193 estados miembros, y aunque parezca increíble la Federación Internacional de Fútbol Asociado (FIFA) tiene 209 países afiliados; estos datos a julio del 2014. Pero tan solo dos países tienen nombre de origen guaraní; Paraguay y Uruguay, y realmente no es casualidad. Hebert Pastorino, de nacionalidad uruguaya pero viviendo actualmente en el Paraguay, se percata de esta confusión que provocan los nombres de estos dos países e investiga sobre hechos sucedidos en el tiempo y los incluye en el libro los cuales demuestran el intercambio...

Sobre la historia considerada como poesía

Desde comienzos de los años setenta del pasado siglo se ha convertido progresivamente en un tópico considerar a la Historia como una de las diferentes formas de la narración, en contra de la opinión dominante en los siglos XIX y XX, que quisieron situarla en una de las ramas del árbol de la ciencia. En este libro el autor lleva a cabo un análisis innovador de la naturaleza y las funciones de la Historia, al considerar que ésta se configura a partir de tres elementos: descripción, evocación y expresión de los propios sentimientos e ideas del historiador. Partiendo del análisis de...
