Censura, nunca mais! A censura voltou a assombrar, e um de seus principais alvos tem sido os livros para crianças e jovens. Hoje ela atua em várias frentes: como no passado, denuncia obras que contrariam o moralismo ou compartilham posições progressistas; recentemente, porém, somam-se novas facetas, quando, em nome do chamado politicamente correto, obras são condenadas, e seus autores, cancelados. E se, então, cabia aos órgãos de segurança reprovar ou liberar produtos culturais, no presente o movimento é liderado por organismos educacionais ou entidades civis.

The fascinating six-hundred-year history of one of the world's most coveted gems and the royal feuds, intrigues, and betrayals it engendered The Sancy Diamond first came to Europe from India in the fourteenth century, and until 1661 it was the largest white diamond-and the most concentrated and secure form of wealth-in all of Christendom.

The riveting account of one of the most hotly pursued gems in history, The Sa...

The world of Manuel Godoy was the age of the French Revolution and Napoleon, of Goethe and Beethoven; a world of changing ideas and reevaluations, of early industrialization, scientific experimentation, and radical political thought. Above all, it was a time of military, social, and economic movement. Spain of the late 18th century was still a major power whose possessions reached from Italy to the two continents of the New World, and as far as the Philippines. Under the rule of the Bourbons, the country had benefited from an economic and military resurgence. Godoy, a twenty-five-year-old guardsman from the provinces, began a meteoric rise to a position of great political influence under the...
En la sinopsis de esta obra se mencionan las biografías de los reyes de la dinastía Borgoña desde Alfonso VII, que ocuparon los reinos de Castilla y León, hasta la muerte de Pedro el Cruel. También desde el comienzo de los Trastámara en Enrique II hasta la muerte del príncipe Juan, hijo de los Reyes Católicos que, tras concederle el título del condado de Trastámara y al morir éste de muerte prematura, fueron omitidos dichos títulos por licencia legal de sus preceptores los reyes, sus abuelos.
