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. Una suerte de narración gótico-tropical donde las criaturas de terror son más ordinarias y cotidianas de lo que pensamos y donde la magia y la brujería rondan cada esquina.

“Each war entails the destruction of the human soul” (Henry Miller). Humanity should not lose its memory, even if some may try to conceal it. From the hindsight afforded by the passing of 75 years from the events narrated, with freedom of thought and a totally independent standpoint, Pacific Media have undertaken an arduous research which has resulted in the series: “The Finest Hours of WWII". From the atrocious moment in which Hitler ordered the invasion of Polish territory to the day in which Emperor Hirohito “had to accept the unacceptable”, all is encompassed in this book over...

Dalle prime esperienze politiche a Roma fino alla tragedia di Azio e al suicidio in Egitto, passando per le terre e i campi di battaglia di Gallia, Balcani e Armenia, il percorso di un giovane ambizioso giunto ai massimi gradi del potere, la cui fine segnò anche la fine di un'epoca. Le nostre informazioni su Marco Antonio (circa 83-30 a.C.) derivano soprattutto da ciò che hanno tramandato i suoi nemici. Prima Cicerone e poi la propaganda augustea hanno alimentato l'immagine stereotipata di un uomo d'azione avido e arrogante, dedito ai piaceri e agli eccessi, e schiavo delle donne al punto...

Robert Hughes, uno de los mejores críticos contemporáneos del arte y de la cultura, nos guía por el pasado y el presente de Roma, desde sus orígenes etruscos y su misteriosa fundación hasta la ciudad de los años sesenta del siglo pasado: la Roma de Fellini y de la “dolce vita”. Profundo conocedor de su historia, su arte y su cultura, nos conduce en un recorrido fascinante por cerca de tres mil años de esplendor y decadencia de la que ha sido, en muchos sentidos, la capital del mundo, y evoca las grandes figuras de su pasado, desde César a Mussolini. Hughes nos habla de política,...
