Secretos medievales

Is it possible to create an enjoyable and mysterious history of literature?

La tercera parte trata la crisis de la cultura de la Modernidad en el siglo XX, examinando con detalle el nihilismo, la sociedad permisiva y los movimientos culturales de mayor actualidad: feminismo, ecologismo, nuevos movimientos...

Las fiestas de toros, desde su origen, han sido un espectáculo polémico que ha despertado grandes pasiones a favor y en contra. Papas, teólogos, monarcas y ministros intentaron prohibir las fiestas de toros en diversas ocasiones y por distintos motivos: desde las razones de orden moral y humanista alegadas en las bulas pontificias del siglo XVI, los argumentos utilitaristas, económicos y laborales planteados en la España de la Ilustración, hasta las denuncias sociales, políticas y animalistas de las últimas centurias.
