Duarte

Resumen del Libro

Mexican Army veteran Andres Duarte was granted 6,595 acres along the southern foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in 1841 by the governor of Alta California. Rancho Azusa de Duarte eventually was carved into 40-acre parcels, and arriving families from the East and Midwest built schools, installed water lines, and grew crops. By 1900, two major rail lines served the area's thriving citrus industry. Duarte's beneficial climate led to the establishment in 1913 of a tuberculosis sanitarium, which became City of Hope, the world-class cancer treatment center. Bandleader Glenn Miller settled in Duarte. The city's location along old U.S. Route 66 brought many visitors to and through town. A strongly independent civic spirit led to a momentous 1987 U. S. Supreme Court decision to disallow the expulsion of the Duarte Rotary from Rotary International for admitting three women. As for Andres Duarte, he is commemorated by a 2007 bronze equestrian statue, located across Huntington Drive from the city hall that bears his name.

Quito y la crisis de la alcabala (1580-1600)

Quinto y la crisis de la alcabala (1580-1600) intenta comprender la lógica del desarrolló de este capítulo que la historiografía ecuatoriana juzga a menudo decisivo para el devenir nacional, pero que no ha sido jamás objeto de un estudio preciso. A pesar de la enorme cantidad de documentos de origen diverso que existen sobre el tema, nada nuevo se había hecho desde González Suárez y su célebre Historia General de la República del Ecuador. Bernard Lavallé reconstruve el juego complejo de los diversos elementos de una coyuntura que, en el marco del virreinato de Lima en una época...

Enigmans literarios

Is it possible to create an enjoyable and mysterious history of literature? Every author—novelist, philosopher, poet, or essayist—has any enigma to offer or reveal, either about their lives or about their works. For instance, do we know exactly where Cervantes was born? Are we sure that Conan Doyle was not a murderer? Why did Comte decide to create his own religion? Did Jose Cadalso exhume his girlfriend's corpse? Was Corneille Moiré's ghostwriter? Was Berbiguier harassed by imps? Maybe Jules Verne did belong to a secret society. Have any works been inspired by dreams—or by insanity?...
