The Inquisition in New Spain, 1536–1820
Author: John F. Chuchiak
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421403862
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
The Inquisition! Just the word itself evokes, to the modern reader, endless images of torment, violence, corruption, and intolerance committed in the name of Catholic orthodoxy and societal conformity. But what do most people actually know about the Inquisition, its ministers, its procedures? This systematic, comprehensive look at one of the most important Inquisition tribunals in the New World reveals a surprisingly diverse panorama of actors, events, and ideas that came into contact and conflict in the central arena of religious faith. Edited and annotated by John F. Chuchiak IV, this collection of previously untranslated and unpublished documents from the Holy Office of the Inquisition in New Spain provides a clear understanding of how the Inquisition originated, evolved, and functioned in the colonial Spanish territories of Mexico and northern Central America. The three sections of documents lay out the laws and regulations of the Inquisition, follow examples of its day-to-day operations and procedures, and detail select trial proceedings. Chuchiak’s opening chapter and brief section introductions provide the social, historical, political, and religious background necessary to comprehend the complex and generally misunderstood institutions of the Inquisition and the effect it has had on societal development in modern-day Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Honduras. Featuring fifty-eight newly translated documents, meticulous annotations, and trenchant contextual analysis, this documentary history is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to understand the Inquisition in general and its nearly three-hundred-year reign in the New World in particular.

The Complete Circles of Gold Trilogy
Author: Kim Ekemar
Publisher: Bradley & Brougham Publishing House
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 683
Book Description
At the end of WWII, Anton Gleichner realizes Germany will lose the war. He decides to steal a fortune in gold objects, escape the Nazi's losing war in Europe and start a new life in South America, where he forms a business arrangement with Charles Munroe. Four decades later, the freelance reporter Dusty Dawes gets an assignment to investigate the cocaine trade from Colombia to the USA. The task takes him across mountains on horseback and by riverboat to the production facilities, and later, by coincidence, to one of the top men directing the Cartagena Cartel. Dusty travels from Salvador to Rio de Janeiro, where he gets romantically involved with the mob boss's mistress. When she disappears, Dusty finds out that she has gone to Paraguay instructed to withdraw a large sum of money in cash. After they meet again in Asunción, they both are imprisoned during an event with Paraguay's president. After Jacie has extricated herself from her detention by implying that Dusty is a terrorist, she withdraws the money as instructed. She then travels on to La Paz where she gets new instructions where to deliver the money. Dusty escapes the jail where he's held, and an alert for his capture is issued. Negotiated by his country's consulate, Dusty is expelled from Paraguay. Knowing that Jacie has traveled to La Paz, he follows her there, only to find that she has traveled on to Peru. After catching up with Jacie, they are chased on the Inca Trail. Inadequately prepared, Dusty and Jacie suffer the harsh and capricious weather conditions trekking above the clouds pursued by two thugs from the Cartagena Cartel. Meanwhile, the brain behind the drug cartel is spinning a web including using Dusty and Jacie to launch crack cocaine in the US. Incorporated in the main story are historical flashbacks that formed the South America that Dusty travels in 1982: The ritual that created the Eldorado myth, the dwellers in the Amazon rainforest, the slave trade from Africa, Alfredo Stroessner's dictatorship, the poor illiterate but astute Simón Patiño who became one of the richest men in the world, the Inca chieftains fratricide, Francisco Pizarro's daring conquest of the Inca empire and the mounting search for the elusive Eldorado kingdom where the streets were considered to be paved with gold.

Book Description
Baldur’s Gate meets Paradise Lost in this deeply emotional novel of literary fantasy, drawing from mythology, classical tragedies and psychological and philosophical introspection. Velimir and Peri, progeny of a fallen celestial, were mortal enemies. They are “the wildcards of fate”- they were never supposed to survive the ritual infanticide intended to trigger the celestial’s ascension to godhood. Peri, the free spirit, was sheltered by a loving stepfather. Velimir, the creature of will, clung to life out of sheer tenacity. They were enemies. Now they are allies. Will they be able to find redemption? Or will they burn together with the world as their monstrous sire ascends? Familiar figures from Norse mythology make an appearance.
