Soldados de Fortuna

A vision of the main empires that have occurred in history, from Egypt to the United States of America. A multitude of maps and illustrations that will help us understand Byzantium, the Chinese and Mongolian empires, the different caliphates, the pre-Columbian empires of America, the Spanish Empire, and more.

La historia de la Coatlicue ha sido azarosa y accidentada. El ídolo sin pies ni cabeza narra los avatares de esta escultura mexica a partir de su descubrimiento en el periodo virreinal. Gracias a una nutrida investigación, Leonardo López Luján documenta en este libro las disputas que provocó este acontecimiento entre los intelectuales y anticuarios de la época, las publicaciones que surgieron en torno a la escultura, así como las diversas reacciones que inspiró en quienes se acercaron a conocerla.

The first in a series of monographic serials on Pre-Columbian art and design. This first number is devoted to Pre-Columbian art and design sources that related to popular identity. Subscriptions available for future issues.
