Americo Vespucio pertenece a esa gran generacion de exploradores y navegantes que contribuyo al descubrimiento de America. Quiza ninguno tan desconcertante como el, cuya vida estuvo llena de glorias y honores, pero tambien de oscuridades, envidias y recelos; tanto es asi que aun varios siglos despues de su muerte hay quien sigue tildandolo de impostor, ladron y falsario.Nacio en Florencia en 1454 y, ya siendo hombre maduro viaje a Sevilla como representante comercial de los poderosos Medici. Alli trabo amistad con marinos y aventureros, escucho historias de tierras ignotas y conocio a Cristobal Colon, de quien fue un fiel amigo durante toda su vida.Su espiritu lleno de curiosidad lo llevo a embarcarse en una expedicion hacia el Nuevo Mundo financiada por la Corona de Espana. En ese viaje descubrio nuevas tierras, dibujo los cielos australes y relato con delicioso encanto las costumbres de los naturales. Anos mas tarde regreso una vez mas, pero en esta ocasion bajo bandera portuguesa, en una de las expediciones mas duras y terribles de que se tenga memoria. Atraveso miles de millas maritimas, navego las costas del Brasil, descubrio el Rio de la Plata (quince anos antes que Solis) y llego hasta los desolados confines de la Patagonia con gran parte de su tripulacion enferma y los barcos a punto de reventar. Fue precisamente en ese viaje cuando advirtio que las tierras en que se hallaba no eran en modo alguno el Asia, tal como habia creido Colon hasta entonces, sino un continente nuevo, una tierra nueva a la que el navegante florentino hizo emerger de la penumbra de los siglos.En esta novela conoceremos su ninez en Florencia, sus escuetas andanzas en la diplomacia italiana, su fascinanteexploracion de los mapas y tratados de la epoca, y finalmente aquella gran aventura hacia las tierras recien descubiertas por Cristobal Colon, las cuales, por un azaroso capricho del destino, acabarian por llevar su nombre.

Though women played an integral role in the conquest of the New World, little has been written about their contributions. This Spanish-language work examines the lives and deeds of women who influenced the course of history in the Americas some 500 years ago. Covered in detail are the lives of Maria de Toledo, first woman governor in America; Isabel de Bobadilla, governor of Cuba and instrumental in the Spanish expedition to Florida; Ana Francisca de Borja, governor of Peru and a military leader; Beatriz de la Cueva, governor of Guatemala and a political leader; Maria de Penalosa, governor of Nicaragua and a military strategist; Isabel Barreto y Quiros, first and only woman admiral of the Spanish navy; and mestizo leaders Francisca Pizarro and Leonor de Alvarado. Also covered are more than 40 other women of the same period--Spanish, Indian, and black--who held a wide variety of leadership positions. The book draws its information from the writings of respected early historians as well as historical documents from libraries and archives in Spain, Latin America and the United States. Cortes, Pizarro, Alvarado, todos ellos hombres conocidos y famosos. Pero y las mujeres? Si bien fue el hombre el que mayormente cargo sobre sus hombros la empresa conquistadora, muchas fueron las mujeres que tambien formaron parte de tal epopeya. Sin embargo, la historia les paso por encima y las relego al triste olvido. Esta obra se empena en hacerles justicia historica a estas mujeres, destacando sus vidas y hazanas sobre todo a ocho de ellas, quizas las mas conocidas, pero no las unicas. Fueron mujeres excepcionales, resolutas, integras, juiciosas, prontas a echar un pie adelante cuando las circunstancias asi lo exigieron, pero, vale recalcar, sin renunciar en ningun momento a sus dotes de madres y esposas. De las ocho mujeres, seis fueron espanolas y dos indigenas, incluyendose, ademas, a unas cuarenta mas aunque en menos detalle. La obra rebosa humanidad y sentido historico y esta escrita en un lenguaje pulcro y sencillo, al alcance de todo tipo de lector. Sus fuentes son rigurosamente historicas y fidedignas, fruto de las mas excelsas plumas a ambos lados del Atlantico y pertenecientes a todas las epocas, incluyendo, claro esta, a los primitivos cronistas de Indias.

Coming of Age with the Jesuits chronicles a young mans formative years from 1959 to 1968 studying on the undergraduate level at Rockhurst College in Kansas City, Missouri, and for the PhD at Saint Louis University in St. Louis, Missouri. Between junior and senior years, Curran had his first educational experience in Latin America studying at the National University of Mexico and traveling to Guatemala. This would lead to an increase in his love of languages and area studies and a future teaching career committed to the same at Arizona State University. The book is not an academic treatise on the Jesuits or their method of study, the Ratio Studiorum, but rather a chronicle of the experiences in their schools by a young man introduced to Jesuit ways and discipline followed by serious study along with college fun and travel. Students from the 1960s will surely recall, relate to, and enjoy similar moments in their own days with the Jesuits. The book chronicles as well the ongoing process of growing up of a small-town farm boy experiencing the big city, college, foreign travel, and the next step of serious study with more precise career goals on the graduate level.
