Calendario Maya : el gran ciclo de la Cuenta Larga

Pobre corazón reúne nueve relatos cuyo nexo de unión es el amor, o los sucedáneos del amor. Nacemos para amar, dicen los románticos, o amamos para perpetuar la especie, replican los científicos. En cualquier caso el amor aparece en nuestra vida iluminándola o ensombreciéndola, dándole a veces un sentido, obsesionando siempre su conciencia y trastornando su voluntad: amor conyugal o adúltero, infantil o senil, ocasional o permanente, real o imaginado, ansiado, desdeñado, gozado, sufrido, pero cada uno de ellos con vocación de amor verdadero.

It’s thought to be one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the 20th century.
