Since his first visit more than fifty years ago, author Graham Hutt has sailed the coastline of North Africa extensively in a number of yachts, from a 29ft Stella to a 65ft schooner. His infectious enthusiasm for the Arab countries of the Mahgreb helped to open the region to cruising sailors, and it is again becoming popular as a destination outside of Europe. Di Stoddard has worked with Graham to update this fifth edition. This comprehensive guide provides detailed information on marinas, harbours and anchorages as well as introductory sections covering topics specific to the area, including the modernised formalities in most ports. In several locations new harbours have opened and facilities have markedly improved. Familiar Imray cartography is included throughout- harbour plans have been updated and extended to reflect changes, and many new photographs are included to assist navigation and inform the reader about this most beguiling region. Whether overwintering or on passage across the Mediterranean or down the Atlantic coast, North Africa is an essential cruising companion

Originally published in Spanish in 1985 as part of a book series commissioned by Banco Popular, this slim volume makes an invaluable contribution to the history of Black people in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean more broadly. Today, San Mateo de Cangrejos is known as Santurce—a stylish district in the capital of San Juan, birthplace of Harlem Renaissance intellectual and collector Arturo Alfonso Schomburg, and home of the Santurce Cangrejeros for which baseball legends Roberto Clemente and Willie Mays once played. Gilberto Aponte Torres's brief yet transformative history is not about the feats of such "great men" but rather the "human foundations" of this unique municipality. San Mateo de Ca...

Presentación del editor: Este libro publicado en 1871 fue el que dio a conocer al mundo el tesoro narrativo tradicional del Japón. En él se inspiró Borges. Incluye una variada muestra de joyas de la narrativa japonesa: 1) Un conjunto de célebres leyendas heróicas de siglos pasados: la epopeya de los 47 Ronins para vengar a su señor ; el alto funcionario Sogoro crucificado por osar presentar al Shogun en persona ciertas reclamaciones del pueblo; la búsqueda, a través de infinidad de peripecias, de la maravillosa espada Musuara robada por un samurai; los famosos y trágicos amores (se suicidan) entre un feroz asesino y una bella prostituta. Y 2) Una colección de cuentos fantásticos de la tradición popular, llenos de fantasmas, brujas y animales demoniacos. Y 3) unos breves sermones morales llenos de interesantes relatos- parábolas. Todo ello hace que el libro ofrezca un muy completo panorama del espíritu tradicional del antiguo Imperio del Sol Naciente.
