The Men Who Wrecked
One night under the stars on a beach in L.A., Marco, Sylvester, and Thomas leave their meaningless lives behind to set out on the Pacific Ocean for the Polynesian Islands. Sylvester provides his own sailboat, the Starfish, to realize his dreams as a captain. Marco is fulfilling his prophetic obsession to reach Polynesia, while Thomas just wants to escape his dull life. After a torturous journey, the young men manage to sail to the heart of the Pacific and begin life as free spiritual souls. But sailing aboard a precarious boat brings endless perils as well as constant disagreements between Sylvester and Thomas. After months at sea, the three miraculously catch sight of the islands. Thomas meets a woman on Carolina Island, and abandons his friends on their final leg of the journey. When the Starfish ends up wrecked, the boys must become men, and their character is truly tested. The Men Who Wrecked is a metaphysical parable. As much as a sailing adventure, it’s also a perilous search on the ocean to find oneself.

A History of the Inquisition of Spain (Complete)
IT were difficult to exaggerate the disorder pervading the Castilian kingdoms, when the Spanish monarchy found its origin in the union of Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon. Many causes had contributed to prolong and intensify the evils of the feudal system and to neutralize such advantages as it possessed. The struggles of the reconquest from the Saracen, continued at intervals through seven hundred years and varied by constant civil broils, had bred a race of fierce and turbulent nobles as eager to attack a neighbor or their sovereign as the Moor. The contemptuous manner in which the Cid is represented, in the earliest ballads, as treating his king, shows what was, in the twelfth ...
The History of Spanish Inquisition (The Complete Four-Volume Edition)
This is one of the best-known works by the American historian Henry Charles Lea. The Spanish Inquisition (officially known as the "Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition") was established in 1478 by Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. It was intended to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in their kingdoms and to replace the Medieval Inquisition, which was under Papal control. It became the most substantive of the three different manifestations of the wider Catholic Inquisition along with the Roman Inquisition and Portuguese Inquisition. The Inquisition was originally intended primarily to identify heretics among those who converted from Judaism and Islam to Catholicism. The regulation of the faith of newly converted Catholics was intensified after the royal decrees issued in 1492 and 1502 ordering Muslims and Jews to convert to Catholicism or leave Castile. The Inquisition was not definitively abolished until 1834, during the reign of Isabella II, after a period of declining influence in the preceding century. The Spanish Inquisition is often cited in popular literature and history as an example of religious intolerance and repression.
