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.

Studies in Spanish American regional history have, as yet, made little attempt to incorporate the struggles for independence within the context of provincial society and politics viewed over the broader period that spans the late colonial and early national experience of Latin America.
