Cerro Gordo

Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Cerro Gordo

High in the Inyo Mountains, between Owens Valley and Death Valley National Park, lies the ghost town of Cerro Gordo. Discovered in 1865, this silver town boomed to a population of 3,000 people in the hands of savvy entrepreneurs during the 1870s. As the silver played out and the town faded, a few hung on to the dream. By the early 1900s, Louis D. Gordon wandered up the Yellow Grade Road where freight wagons once traversed with silver and supplies and took a closer look at the zinc ore that had been tossed aside by early miners. The Fat Hill lived again, primarily as a small company town. By the last quarter of the 20th century, Jody Stewart and Mike Patterson found themselves owners of the rough and tumble camp that helped Los Angeles turn into a thriving metropolis because of silver and commercial trade. Cerro Gordo found new life, second to Bodie, as California's best-preserved ghost town.

Edipo rey (Anotado)

Libro Edipo rey (Anotado)

Edipo rey es una tragedia griega de Sófocles, de fecha desconocida. Algunos indicios dicen que pudo ser escrita en los años posteriores a 430 a. C. Aunque la tetralogía de la que formaba parte (de la que se han perdido las demás obras) solo logró el segundo puesto en el agóndramático, muchos consideran Edipo rey la obra maestra de Sófocles. Entre ellos, Aristóteles, que la analiza en la Poética. La obra nos presenta a Edipo en su momento de mayor esplendor, como rey de Tebas y esposo de Yocasta. Para salvar a la ciudad comienza a investigar la muerte del rey anterior: Layo. Poco a...
