Con Magallanes se inicia una de las epopeyas más fascinantes de la historia naval española, una hazaña en la que el tesón de un puñado de hombres valientes venció en su lucha desigual contra los embates de la naturaleza y las estratagemas de la Corona portuguesa. Con la llegada a Filipinas por la ruta occidental, Elcano tendía un puente con Oriente y culminaba una aventura que puso a prueba la pericia de uno de los cartógrafos y navegantes más intrépidos que ha dado España, Andrés de Urdaneta, y que Miguel López de Legazpi concluyó brillantemente al conquistar las islas para la Corona española. Tras una exhaustiva y minuciosa investigación histórica, Edward Rosset ha convertido en un apasionante relato las vicisitudes de estos cuatro héroes españoles y ha recreado, con intenso vigor narrativo, buena parte de los episodios cumbres de nuestra historia naval. Una apasionante historia de los más importantes navegantes de la historia no sólo de nuestro país, sino del mundo también.

Offers a lively and provocative account of what we can learn about Jesus by reading the letters of Paul, providing fresh new insights into both Jesus and Paul. The author painstakingly recreates the world of Christ, a time rich with ideas, prophets, factions, priests, savants and god-drunk fanatics. He insistently stresses throughout the Jewishness of Jesus (e.g., referring to Jesus and Paul as Yeshua and Saul, as they were then known). Equally important, he dismisses the traditional method of searching for facts about Jesus by looking for parallels among the four Gospels; they were handed down to us as a unit by a later generation, he argues. Saul, although he did not know Yeshua personally, knew his most important followers and wrote immediately after Yeshua's death. His teachings were approved (though sometimes reluctantly) by Yeshua's brothers and other early leaders.
