The Church of the Dead

  • Jennifer Scheper Hughes

Presentación del libro

"In 1576 a catastrophic epidemic devastated Indigenous Mexican communities and left the colonial church in ruins. With its horrific final symptom of hemorrhage from the nose, the unfamiliar disease, which the Nahua named cocoliztli, took almost two million lives.

Pero ello no obsta para que su pasividad en ocasiones, y abandono la mayoría de las veces, hayan llevado a la situación actual. Los generales en activo –con alguna honrosa excepción- no han hecho sino dar prueba de un entreguismo y de una dejación de sus responsabilidades sin parangón en la historia de España, subordinando sus carreras y tareas a la magnanimidad de los políticos del momento, dando un mal...

Libro Nero

Nero

Nero's personality and crimes have always intrigued historians and writers of fiction. However, his reign also illuminates the nature of the Julio-Claudian Principate. Nero's suicide brought to an end the dynasty Augustus had founded, and placed in jeopardy the political system he had devised. Miriam T. Griffin's authoratitive survey of Nero's reign incorporates both a chronological account, as well as an analysis of the reasons for Nero's collapse under the pressure of his role as emperor.
