Cultura política en los Andes (1750-1950)

A mas de sesenta anos del falso final de la Guerra Civil, el presente libro repasa la literatura y la cinematografia mas significativas sobre la guerra y analiza algunos de los mitos y distorsiones mas comunes aun vigentes: su inevitabilidad, la leyenda de Badajoz, la gesta del Alcazar, Madrid como capital de la gloria y del dolor, el papel de sus intelectuales, la confusa cuestion de la memoria y el olvido, etc.

Is it possible to create an enjoyable and mysterious history of literature? Every author—novelist, philosopher, poet, or essayist—has any enigma to offer or reveal, either about their lives or about their works. For instance, do we know exactly where Cervantes was born? Are we sure that Conan Doyle was not a murderer? Why did Comte decide to create his own religion? Did Jose Cadalso exhume his girlfriend's corpse? Was Corneille Moiré's ghostwriter? Was Berbiguier harassed by imps? Maybe Jules Verne did belong to a secret society. Have any works been inspired by dreams—or by insanity?...

Un libro con la información más sucinta y jugosa de la historia de la capital colombiana. Narra la transformación social y económica que experimentó la ciudad desde su fundación, con tres exploradores diferentes de por medio, en el siglo XVI hasta su conversión en el siglo XXI en una de las cinco metrópolis más grandes y ricas de América Latina. En este lapso entre uno y otro siglo tuvo un crecimiento lento, pero, gracias a los ferrocarriles llegó a ser, a partir de la segunda década del siglo pasado, la ciudad más importante del país.
