En enero de 1671 el pirata Henry Morgan capturó y saqueó la Ciudad de Panamá. En un sorprendente hecho de armas cruzó el Istmo de Panamá y atacó la ciudad desde el este, algo que los estrategas militares en la actualidad consideran imposible. Morgan tomó un botín importante de Panamá pero le faltó el fabuloso Altar Dorado, un artefacto invalorable que los curas habían pintado con creosota para evitar que lo descubrieran. Esta obra cuenta en detalle la invasión de Morgan y su ira al descubrir lo que él y su banda de bucaneros habían dejado escapar. Prosigue relatando cómo un descendiente, el Mayor Henry Morgan, un oficial de la Armada Británica que había pasado por Panamá en su regreso de las guerra de las islas Faulklands, vuelve en 1985 para robarse el altar. Los sorprendentes detalles de sus preparativos para el robo, la fundición del oro y su posterior venta se explican minuciosamente en este libro. Las descripciones del ataque de Morgan en 1671 y de la Ciudad de Panamá en 1985 son precisas. Sin embargo, el inmaculado altar dorado permanece hoy en la iglesia de San José en la parte antigua de la ciudad. No está lejos del lugar donde se erigía el infame cuartel general de las Fuerzas de Defensa del General Manuel Antonio Noriega hasta 1989, fecha en que la invasión estadounidense destruyó el complejo y cambió la vida de Panamá para siempre.

In January of 1671 the pirate Henry Morgan captured and sacked Panama City. Morgan took considerable booty Panama but missed the fabled Golden Altar, a priceless artifact which a local priest had painted with creosote to avoid detection. This story tells of Morgans rage when he discovered what he had overlooked. Continuing, it relates how a descendant, Major Henry Morgan, a British Army officer who passed through Panama after the Falklands War, returns in 1985 to steal the altar. Descriptions of Morgans raid in 1671 and of the City of Panama in 1985 are accurate. However, the unviolated Golden Altar still resides today in the church of San Jose, close to where General Manuel Antonio Noriegas infamous Defense Forces headquarters stood until 1989, when the U.S. invasion destroyed the complex, and life in Panama changed forever.

This lavishly illustrated, bilingual art book presents drawings by Ramón Casas in the Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections at the Northwestern University Library and oil paintings by Casas from private collections and the Art Institute of Chicago. Charles Deering and Ramón Casas follows the development and dramatic dissolution of a three-way friendship that connected the Spanish painter Ramón Casas (1866–1932); the Chicago industrialist Charles Deering (1852–1927), who was a collector and admirer of Casas’s work as well as a patron of Northwestern University; and the Spanish artist Miguel Utrillo (1862–1934), Casas’s lifelong friend and the father of the French painter Maurice Utrillo. Casas introduced Deering to Sitges, a beach town near Barcelona, Spain, where the latter created a palatial estate with a museum to house his art collection. Miguel Utrillo served as director of the museum. The text explores the treasures housed at Maricel and what happened among the three men that led Casas to abandon Utrillo and Deering to depart Spain, taking his art collection with him.

A family seated round the fireplace Singing and making merry; A sprightly waltz played with grace Noche Buena brings us all the magic of the Christmas season as seen through the eyes of the Hispanic Americans who celebrate it. Christmas is at times a universal story, and many of the images here are recognizable across cultures. We hear and see proud, joyful singing; the adoration of the Infant Jesus; and the peaceful strains of Adeste Fidelis. But here as well are the rich traditions and legends specific to the Hispanic culture, such as the celebration of the posadas for nine nights leading up to Christmas, with candy raining down from colorful swinging piñatas, egg shells filled with confetti, and beautiful paper lanterns crafted to illuminate the town on Christmas Eve. There is the "Legend of the Poinsettia" where a poor child embarrassed by the modesty of his gift for the Christ Child sheds tears on the dull green leaves of the familiar plant, thereby miraculously transforming them to a brilliant red. And here too are hopeful children singing "If You Give Me Meat Pies," asking for the reward of warm meat pies and rice pudding in return for their sweet caroling. Thirty-six inspiring literary selections comprise this enchanting collection of works from Mexican, Colombian, Cuban, and Puerto Rican writers--writers who represent the range of Hispanic minority groups in the United States. Through these stories, traditional tales, songs, and poetry, readers gain a true understanding of the importance of the Christmas holiday within the Hispanic community, and begin to grasp the issues that inform the Hispanic American creative process--issues such as communal identity, patriotism, poverty, assimilation, and religion. With vivid illustrations and original Spanish text for all poetry, this fascinating anthology will inform readers of all cultural backgrounds, and give them the opportunity to celebrate this cherished time with a newly extended family.

Tal vez algunos lectores se preguntarán porque se me ocurrió producir un libro de los ángeles, para contestar su curiosidad le diré que en una noche de viernes cuando caminé, en el campo, desde la casa de mi abuela hasta la Iglesia donde me tocaba predicar, como estaba lluvioso no asistió ni un solo miembro. (Iglesia Vertientes, Baracoa Cuba). Yo decidí quedarme en la Iglesia en vigilia y oración y en la madrugada tuve una visión de cuatro ángeles sobre la Iglesia. Su piel era muy rosada y sus vestidos eran como de seda que la brisa lo movía suavemente. Después de esa experiencia los hermanos por si solo se hicieron la decisión de no faltar a los cultos, parece que lo siguen cumpliendo, porque después de 28 años de ausencia yo le volví a visitar y el mismo día, sin anuncio, ni aviso la Iglesia estaba llena, gracias a DIOS, todo sea para su honra y su gloria y era domingo en la tarde. Lo segundo y último porque produje este material es que he examinado en varios países algunas producciones sobre los ángeles y la mayoría no se ajustan a la Palabra de Dios. Puedo garantizar que este es el documento más extenso que se ha producido sobre este tema, pues es el producto de 52 años Bíblicos y especialmente un año sacando todo lo que la Biblia dice de los ángeles y sus relacionados. Yo le digo a los hermanos que los ángeles quisieran estar en el cielo, pero como tienen que estar con nosotros, por lo menos se sienten mejor cuando nos acompañan a los servicios religiosos, donde se canta, se ora, se estudia la Palabra, se adora, se alaba y se honra al Dios verdadero, nuestro Creador. Amen

In his historical satirical novel Candide, Voltaire (François-Marie Arouet) presented a fanciful vision of the Jesuit missions established among the Guaraní in parts of what today are Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil. Some scholars have characterized the missions as having been a socialist utopia, or an independent republic located on the fringes of Spanish territory in South America. What was the reality? This study presents a detailed analysis of one of the Jesuit missions, Los Santos Mártires del Japón, and the story of the creation of mission communities on a frontier contested by Spain and Portugal during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It documents the historical realities of the Jesuit missions, their patterns of development, and the demographic consequences for the mission populations of military conflict.

Robert Jackson's tenth and most ambitious book explores the factors and dispels the false ideas around how the fringes of Spain's empire in the Americas developed. He details how environmental differences and socio-cultural variations had a controlling influence on development of the missions in each region and how these factors explain the striking differences in the mission structure. Jackson's extensive on-site research covers New Mexico (1598-1580 and 1696-1833), the Rio de la Plata region (1609-1848), the Primeria Alta Region (1687-1833), Texas (1690-1695 and 1716-1815), Baja California (1697-1833), and Alta California (1769-1833). Missions and the Frontiers of Spanish America is a readable and generously illustrated book that puts the role of the missions, missionaries, and indigenous peoples into a broader historical context.
