Maria de Zayas Tells Baroque Tales of Love and the Cruelty of Men
María de Zayas y Sotomayor (1590–1650?) published two collections of novellas, Novelas amorosas y exemplares (1637) and Desengaños amorosos (1647), which were immensely popular in her day. During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Victorian and bourgeois sensibilities exiled her “scandalous” works to the outer fringes of serious literature. Over the last two decades, however, she has gained an enthusiastic and ever-expanding readership, drawing intense critical attention and achieving canonical status as a major figure of the Spanish Golden Age. In this first comprehensive study of Zayas’s prose, Margaret R. Greer explores the relationship between narration and desire, a...
Isaac Abravanel
Almost five hundred years after his death, Don Isaac Abravanel (1437-1508) remains a legendary figure of Sephardic history, and above all of the Expulsion of 1492.

EL FRANQUISMO
El autor es licenciado en Historia Moderna y Contemporánea por la Universidad de Barcelona. Fundador de las editoriales Crítica (1976) y Pasado Presente (2011), ha publicado a lo largo de más de cincuenta años unos 2.000 títulos, de los cuales tal vez mil han sido libros de historia. De acuerdo con el consejo de Gaston Gallimard —un buen editor no debe ser escritor al mismo tiempo— Pontón no ha empezado su obra hasta su jubilación en 2009. 'La lucha por la desigualdad' es, así, su primer libro y, según él sostiene, probablemente el últim«Una historia que muchos jóvenes deberían saber, pero que nunca aprendieron. La prosa ágil de Gonzalo Pontón, adornada con las ilustraciones de Amat Pellejà, introduce la información esencial sobre las décadas cruciales del siglo XX. Una crónica gráfica instructiva y oportuna de Franco y su dictadura». Julián Casanova.
