Guillermo Buitrago: Precursor de la música vallenata

Ambrosio Spinola fue uno de los personajes más fascinantes que sirvieron, con lealtad y bravura, a la Corona española en las guerras de Flandes. Un banquero genovés reconvertido en militar que demostró sobradas dotes bélicas, políticas y diplomáticas durante uno de los periodos más conflictivos y delicados que la Monarquía Hispánica hubo de afrontar en el mantenimiento del orden europeo vigente. Esta es la gran biografía, personal, política y militar, de una de las figuras más injustamente relegadas al olvido. Esta es la historia del gran capitán general de Flandes.

Following in the footsteps of Rigoberto Menchu, Maria Teresa Tula describes her childhood, marriage, and growing family as well as her political consciousness, activism, imprisonment and torture. The human side of the civil war in El Salvador and decades of repression come to the fore in this woman's tale of extraordinary courage and ordinary labor.

The author narrates the life of Isabella I, Queen of Castile and Len. Isabella is known to generations as the queen who approved support of Christopher Columbus's journey to the New World and was involved in the expulsion of the Jews under the Inquisition. Along with her spiritual advisers, she reformed the Spanish churches.

Women have been relegated from history books and that doesn't mean that they weren't important to the future of Humanity. From empresses and queens, through the great rivalries between women from different eras, courtesans, thinkers, artists and writers.
