Cerro Gordo

Resumen del Libro

Libro Cerro Gordo

High in the Inyo Mountains, between Owens Valley and Death Valley National Park, lies the ghost town of Cerro Gordo. Discovered in 1865, this silver town boomed to a population of 3,000 people in the hands of savvy entrepreneurs during the 1870s. As the silver played out and the town faded, a few hung on to the dream. By the early 1900s, Louis D. Gordon wandered up the Yellow Grade Road where freight wagons once traversed with silver and supplies and took a closer look at the zinc ore that had been tossed aside by early miners. The Fat Hill lived again, primarily as a small company town. By the last quarter of the 20th century, Jody Stewart and Mike Patterson found themselves owners of the rough and tumble camp that helped Los Angeles turn into a thriving metropolis because of silver and commercial trade. Cerro Gordo found new life, second to Bodie, as California's best-preserved ghost town.

En una amplia Introducción el profesor Gutiérrez Escudero expone con detalle la curiosa amalgama de mitos, fantasías y realidades que durante siglos condicionaron las creencias de la humanidad, hasta el momento en el que un enigmático personaje, Cristóbal Colón, se propone la realización de una travesía fundamental: la navegación a Oriente por Poniente. Una selección de textos que narran los preparativos, las angustias de viaje y visicitudes del Descubrimiento cierra este libro, completando así el primer ciclo de una más larga historia.

Libro Buscando a Carmen

La imagen exterior de España cristalizó hace tiempo, conformando un conjunto de rasgos que, en puridad, se reducen a unos pocos estereotipos en los cuales la mayor parte de los españoles no nos reconocemos, aunque, paradójicamente, hayamos terminado por aceptarlos en el plano colectivo; este libro estudia cómo los viajeros europeos del XIX crearon esta imagen falsificada de España y los españoles.
