Secretos medievales

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?...

¿Y cómo es posible no saber tanto? De Marda Zuluaga Aristizábal es un texto sólido y juiciosamente construido, palabra a palabra, gesto a gesto, imagen a imagen. Se trata de un análisis de las transformaciones en la definición y aplicación del deber de memoria del Estado a partir de la creación y elaboraciones del grupo de memoria histórica. Indaga por el conflicto armado colombiano desde la perspectiva de una ciudadana que, enfrentada a la vida fuera del país, se interroga por una historia que, al igual que muchos colombianos y colombianas, vivió sin saberla y mucho menos...

Se sigue hablando en las universidades espanolas de Luis de Lucena como autor de un libro de ajedrez en 1497, cuando el verdadero nombre solamente es Lucena. Esto es una prueba mas que en las universidades espanoles los unos copian a los otros sin propia investigacion. Por este motivo he preparado una biografia de Juan Ramirez de Lucena, protonotario y embajador, y del Consejo de los Reyes Catolicos, porque el fue el padre del ajedrecista Lucena.
