Book Description
Con el acierto que le ha convertido en un referente del género de la narrativa histórica, Noah Gordon -autor de El médico y La bodega, entre otros títulos destacados- nos ofrece un absorbente viaje a través de la Historia, a la vez que una emocionante novela. La emocionante búsqueda de un valioso diamante a través de la historia. Harry Hopeman, miembro de una dinastía de diamantistas, recibe un día una propuesta: recuperar un diamante legendario que ha despertado interés de gente muy dispar. El encargo, que llevará a Harry a abandonar Nueva York para instalarse en Tierra Santa, se convertirá en un viaje casi iniciático en el que el tratante se reencontrará con sus raíces. La historia del diamante, desde los tiempos bíblicos hasta la actualidad, sirve no solo de hilo conductor para narrar las vicisitudes de la familia Hopeman, cuyos orígenes se remontan a los tiempos de la Inquisición, sino también para ofrecer una rica panorámica del judaísmo y su intensa relación con las culturas musulmana y cristiana a lo largo de los siglos.

No Mere Shadows
Author: Shirley Cushing Flint
Publisher: UNM Press
ISBN: 0826353126
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
Three generations of women in one family are the characters in this intimate historical study of what it meant to be a widow in sixteenth-century Mexico City. Shirley Cushing Flint has used archival research to tell the stories of five women in the Estrada family—a mother, three daughters, and a granddaughter—from the time of the Spanish conquest of Mexico in 1520 until the 1580s. Each was once married and when widowed chose not to remarry. Their stories illustrate the constraints placed upon them both as women and as widows by the religious, secular, and legal cultures of the time and how each refused to be bound by those constraints. Money, influence, knowledge, and connections all come into play as the widows maneuver to hold onto property. Each of their stories illustrates an aspect of Spanish life in the New World that has heretofore been largely overlooked.
