Los sucesos de Cuenca, ocurridos en julio de 1874

«La República de los Espantos» es una antología de cuentos de terror y fantasía a la colombiana. Una serie de tragedias y bendiciones entrelazadas con nuestras raíces y costumbres, y por desgracia, nuestros dolores. Un compendio de historias donde los fantasmas, las brujas, los demonios y los espíritus habitan los lugares más comunes del territorio.

An exploration of how technology and best intentions collide in the heat of war In The Bomber Mafia, Malcolm Gladwell weaves together the stories of a Dutch genius and his homemade computer, a band of brothers in central Alabama, a British psychopath, and pyromaniacal chemists at Harvard to examine one of the greatest moral challenges in modern American history. Most military thinkers in the years leading up to World War II saw the airplane as an afterthought. But a small band of idealistic strategists had a different view. This "Bomber Mafia" asked: What if precision bombing could, just by...

El doctor Luis Suárez Fernández ha sabido revivir con maestría las emociones de peligro dinástico y nacional del reinado de don Juan I.
