Historia de la lectura pública en España

O es un buen título, desde luego. Suena corto y rotundo, juguetón, es fácil de recordar, y tiene algo de ese enigma indescifrado de los relatos de Alejandro Pedregosa. Historias breves, intensas, portentosas, escritas con la maestría de un artesano minucioso, y que traen un lejano regusto de leyenda, de fábula moral y atribulada. Un retablo de personajes de una existencia efímera que aparecen tras el telón y que saludan desde el escenario antes de enfrentarse a su destino, trágico a veces, con la resignación del penitente. Todo narrado con un estilo preciso y elegante, nunca exento...

When President Thomas Jefferson bought the Louisiana Territory from cash-strapped France in 1803, he doubled the size of the United States without really knowing what he was getting. He dispatched Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and their Corps of Discovery to explore a territory that would include part or all of fifteen future states and to seek a water route to the West Coast. Westward expansion began immediately, all for the bargain price of 15 million dollars. This book richly explores this fascinating part of history.
