Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. xviii+218 pages with maps, bibliography and index. Octavo (9" x 6") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. Translated with introduction by G F Dille. A stirring account of Spain's incursion into the New World. Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo is the 16th-century author of Historia general y natural de las Indias, a general and natural history of the peoples and places he encountered in his travels to Spanish America. Oviedo was educated at the court of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella and held several early appointments to the royal household, first as page to their son, John. In 1513, he accepted the appointment as warden of the gold mines of Castilla de Oro on the Isthmus of Panama in Darién, the first viable Spanish settlement on the American mainland. His first year at the very edge of the known world converted Oviedo into a lifelong resident of America and, more importantly, marked the beginning of his campaign to appropriate the topic of the Indies and become its interpreter to Europe. As G. F. Dille points out in his introduction, this work earned Oviedo the title of many firsts—first historian, first ethnographer, first naturalist, first anthropologist, and first sociologist of the New World. Dille adds to that list first autobiographer and first novelist of the Americas. This annotated translation contains the section of Oviedo's work that recounts his experience in the New World during his service in Panama. Dille includes a brief introduction to Oviedo and provides general information on the political background of Spain and on the Spanish colonial system, the printing history of the text, a description of the reception of Oviedo's work, and notes on the translation.

Condizione: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Encuadernación: Rústica Colección: Básica de Bolsillo Utopía ha sido considerada como una de las obras más sobresalientes del utopismo que gozó de gran difusión y reconocimiento en su época. En ella, More ambiciona un modelo de sociedad fundamentado en la justicia social y solidaridad entre los hombres que, como una gran familia, gestionan y disponen de manera equitativa los recursos que producen, puesto que la apropiación del poder, de la riqueza y la propiedad privada, al redistribuir los bienes, divide los intereses de los hombres y a los hombres mismos. More, como Marx, supera el concepto mecánico de justicia y lo traslada a un ámbito profundo y humano, donde la comunión con el gobierno y la participación en la propiedad y disfrute de los bienes erigen una comunidad justa. La fascinación que aún ejerce la utopía moreana estriba en que el proyecto social soñado por él es el que todos los hombres sueñan. Si su ideal fuera imposible, habría que decir adiós a la justicia. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Condizione: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Introducción, traducción y notas de Álvaro Silva. La Carta a un monje, que Ediciones Universidad de Salamanca publica ahora por primera vez en español, es un texto obligatorio para entender de primera mano la compleja y fascinante figura de Tomás Moro (1478- 1535) y la edad de transición en la que vivió; y, al mismo tiempo, para atender a una lección relevante en cualquier época de la historia. Con ella responde a una carta previa de un religioso, que no ha llegado a nosotros y que sólo conocemos por las citas que Moro incluyó en su larga respuesta. El religioso, que era también sacerdote, había realizado un ataque a la vasta y asombrosa obra de filología y traducción bíblica de Erasmo; al tiempo que decía temer por la influencia perniciosa que la lectura de Erasmo, al que acusa de hereje y cismático, pudiera estar teniendo en Moro. Moro contestó haciendo una defensa detallada y vigorosa de su amigo Erasmo así como de la importancia de las humanidades para la comprensión del texto sagrado; después, en una segunda parte, la carta examina las raíces de tal actitud intelectual, y se convierte un una crítica perspicaz de los peligros propios de cualquier grupo religioso, en particular, la arrogancia espiritual. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
