Libro Palenque

Mysterious ancient ruins, hidden deep in the jungle of southern Mexico In May 1840, explorers John Stephens and Frederick Catherwood road their mules along a steep, muddy jungle path. They were hoping to find the ruins of an ancient, deserted site in Mexico they knew only from visitors’ accounts. Through the trees, they spied the remains of a crumbling stone palace. Palenque! In the weeks they spent there, the men discovered intricately designed buildings and mysterious glyphs, or symbols. Who built this city? What did the glyphs mean? The questions remained largely unanswered until the 1950s, when Mexican archaeologist Alberto Ruz Lhuillier began his work at Palenque. By this time, he knew the ruins were those of the ancient Maya, who lived across Mexico and Central America more than one thousand years ago. After exhaustive work, Ruz and his crew made an amazing discovery—a tomb buried deep inside a pyramid. Through intensive study of Mayan glyphs, they learned the tomb was that of the great Mayan king Pakal, who died in 683 A.D. Since then, archaeologists have discovered much more about Mayan pyramids, writing, and architecture. Read this intriguing volume to learn about Palenque and about the mysteries that still remain.

Las flores del mal

Libro Las flores del mal

Envuelta en escándalo en el momento de su aparición (la primera edición, en 1857, padeció la supresión de los seis célebres poemas condenados por el Tribunal Correccional de París), «Las flores del mal» inauguró una poética innovadora que se traduce en la búsqueda de la musicalidad del poema, en la audacia de la imagen y en el famoso sistema de «correspondencias» que habría de dar origen al movimiento simbolista. Desgarrada entre la sensualidad y el espiritualismo, entre la atracción de la belleza y el poder del mal, la poesía de Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) trasladada de...
