In the 1560's and the 1570’s, several authors outside of Spain recorded the text of an oath supposedly uttered by the Aragonese people when they received their king. While most modern historians doubt the authenticity of the oath, they agree that it has frequently served the purposes of political propaganda whenever an Aragonese patriot has wished to epitomize his nation’s tradition of resistance to tyranny. This book studies the oath "We, who are worth as much as you, take you as our king, provided that you preserve our laws and liberties, and if not, not" as an example of historiographical fiction which belongs to a complex of legal-historical legends about the origins of Aragon.

Nada de lo que sucede en esta novela es real y todo es verídico. Sagarra es un collage de voces, situaciones y personajes localizados en Euskadi. Hay historias viejas, venganzas acumuladas, odios que van pudriendo el ambiente y, sobre todo, hay dolor, el dolor que causa la muerte. Supuestamente alguien dio el primer tiro, pero nada comenzó con esa muerte. Todo venía de antes, de cicatrices que no se curan; y las cosas continúan igual, cada vez más podridas. Un primer disparo por vengaza, un hijo que dese emular a un padre al que considera un héroe, un ideólogo manipulador y manipulado, una madre que perdió el amor y está a punto de perder a su hijo, una lucha que nunca fue lo que debió ser y toda una colección de dolor acumulado. Esta novela simplemente cuenta una historia que nunca sucedió, o sí, una historia de venganza y violencia, el lado más atros del ser humano.
It is forty years since Burgeff published, in 1926, the first comprehensive catalogue of the genus Zygaena Fabricius, forming part 33 of the Lepidopterorum Catalogus. Following the pattern and general layout of Burgeff's work, we have attempted to produce a catalogue in which all names in the genus Zygaena are included, with references to the literature where these names were originally published. Additional references are included when these refer to illustrations of a species, subspecies or form, or to a taxonomic change, e.g., a change in status. References to misidentifications are generally omitted unless a new species has been described at a later date. In compiling this work we have a...
The Routledge Handbook of Second Language Acquisition and Psycholinguistics provides a comprehensive survey of the latest research at the intersection of linguistics, cognitive psychology, and applied linguistics, for those seeking to understand the mental architecture and processes that shape the acquisition of additional languages. The handbook represents the full complexity of second language acquisition across the lifespan, spanning childhood bilinguals and adult L2 learners, and is inclusive of heritage languages, early bilingualism and multilingualism, and language attrition. An authoritative selection of diverse, global, leading psycholinguists synthesize the latest research to provide a thorough overview in a single volume and set the agenda for the future. The volume is organized into five key parts for ease of use: psycholinguistics across the lifespan; methods; theoretical perspectives; the psycholinguistics of learning; and transdisciplinary perspectives. This handbook will be an indispensable resource for scholars and students of psycholinguistics, second language acquisition, applied linguistics, bilingualism, cognitive science, psychology, and research methodology.
