Pintura toledana de la segunda mitad del siglo XVI

Michael D. Coe, uno de los mas importantes mayologos de la actualidad, relata en este libro la historia de lo que el considera "una de las aventuras intelectuales mas interesantes de nuestro tiempo": una historia polemica, de enfrentamientos intelectuales entre los distintos expertos que, si bien con ideas distintas, a veces directamente opuestas, participaron en la ardua labor del desciframiento de los glifos mayas. Knorosov, Thompson y Proskouriakoff, protagonistas de esta aventura, aparecen retratados finamente por Coe en este libro.

Este libro es mucho más que una historia de la guerra civil. César Vidal no se limita a explicar la contienda, sino que ha recogido los testimonios de las personas que la vivieron. De este modo emerge un relato apasionante en que soldados de los dos bandos y civiles que vivieron la guerra en ciudades y pueblos complementan la narración de Vidal y convierten esta obra en un auténtico monumento a nuestra memoria histórica. Milicianos, legionarios, anarquistas y falangistas enriquecen con sus recuerdos este libro y hacen que la historia cobre vida ante nuestros ojos.
