Biografía de Blanca de Borbón (1336-1361)

El cronista del rey Pedro I, el canciller Pero López de Ayala ha resultado ser un buen historiador. Lo que si se ve en la crónica es que el canciller oculta a veces ciertos hechos ejecutados por don Pedro u ocurridos durante su reinado. No explica el canciller por qué motivo don Pedro I abandonó a su mujer, doña Blanca. ¿Era cuestión de dinero? Otra razón por la cual don Pedro abandona a doña Blanca podría ser su concubina María de Padilla, que había dado luz a su primera hija, Beatriz, en marzo 1353. Y finalmente podría existir otra razón por la cual don Pedro tuviera más que...

Ottavio Di Camilo already informed us in 2001 that the letter in La Celestina contained rare words. An analysis of this text and of the foreword to La Celestina gave us not only the name of Juan del Encina, but also that of Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo as the author. Consequently, with this study I hope to have cleared up: 1. that the authentic name of Lucena is Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo, one of the illegitimate sons of Juan Ramírez de Lucena, 2. that Fernández de Oviedo wrote Repetición de amores and Arte de Ajedrez, 3. that Fernández de Oviedo is the author of the foreword and the...

Our Hellenist, unknown to many scholars, does not appear on Wikipedia's list of 18 Spanish Hellenists in the XVI century. It is clear that up to now historians and researchers believed what other scholars and historians had said about him and further research was therefore not necessary.

Huyendo de todo lo que se espera de una biografía de un político al uso, Josefina Carabias nos dejó un libro que es mucho más que una semblanza de un hombre de ideas que tropezó con la amarga realidad de España. Es también una crónica vívida del Madrid de una época irrepetible, el de las tertulias en cafés y el voto femenino, por el que se pasean personajes como Unamuno y Valle-Inclán. Y es, sobre todo, una reivindicación de Carabias como pionera del periodismo español, un ejercicio literario vibrante que no renuncia a la veracidad, a la altura de nombres como Chaves Nogales.

"CISEN, peak and decadence of Mexican espionage," is a journey through the activities of the Center of Investigation and National Security, the organism of the government's intelligence that since 1989 has been the main organ of civil espionage after the disappearance of DFS in 1985 and later of the DISEN (Office of Investigation and National Security). A great part of the activities of CISEN that are narrated in this book doesn't appear in the government's official speeches. In fact, the official version denies that CISEN is or has been carrying out the actions disclosed in here. ""This book ...
