The Improbable Conquest

Resumen del Ebook

Libro The Improbable Conquest

The Improbable Conquest offers translations of a series of little-known letters from the chaotic Spanish conquest of the Río de la Plata region, uncovering a rich and understudied historical resource. These letters were written by a wide variety of individuals, including clergy, military officers, and the region’s first governor, Pedro de Mendoza. There is also an exceptional contribution from Isabel de Guevara, one of the few women involved in the conquest to have recorded her experiences. Writing about the conditions of settlements and expeditions, these individuals vividly expose the less glamorous side of the conquest, narrating in detail various misfortunes, infighting, corruption, and complaints. Their letters further reveal the colony’s fraught relationship with the native peoples it sought to colonize, giving insight into the complexities of the conquest and the colonization process. Pablo García Loaeza and Victoria Garrett provide an introduction to the history of the region and the conquest’s key players, as well as a timeline and a glossary explaining difficult and archaic Spanish terms.

Libro Mujeres

Mujeres protagonistas de la historia y mujeres borradas de ella; mujeres que sueñan y mujeres castigadas por soñar; mujeres que sobreviven y mujeres que nos ayudan a sobrevivir. Las mujeres que atraviesan los relatos de Eduardo Galeano conmueven por su determinación, su desobediencia constante, y también por su fragilidad. Galeano cuenta la intensidad de personajes femeninos tensionados por el peso de una causa, como Juana de Arco, Rosa Luxemburgo, Rigoberta Menchú, Eva Perón o las Madres de Plaza de Mayo; por su propia hermosura o talento, como Marilyn Monroe o Rita Hayworth, Frida...
