Un fascinante recorrido por la trayectoria de Cristóbal Hara, quien tras más de medio siglo como fotógrafo regresa a sus orígenes.Una invitación a redescubrir la frescura y el asombro con los que nacen las mejores fotografias. Un titulo imprescindible tanto para los amantes de la fotografia como para los lectores atraidos por historias de vida autenticas y transformadoras.La vida cotidiana española se muestra a traves de angulos inesperados y perspectivas fragmentadas que reflejan los rituales, las tradiciones y las idiosincrasias de la sociedad española.Despues de mas de cinco decadas detras de la camara, el autor evoca una epoca en la que ser un fotografo principiante era sinonimo de libertad, riesgo y descubrimiento. Desde su decision juvenil de abandonar el mundo empresarial para dedicarse a la fotografia, pasando por sus años de aprendizaje en las calles bajo la dictadura, hasta sus primeras colaboraciones internacionales, este libro reune las imagenes que dieron forma a su oficio. Con imagenes ineditas y relatos personales, el autor revela como nacio su vocacion inspirada en Cartier-Bresson y forjada en las calles de la España franquista y como ese espiritu de experimentacion lo ha acompañado a lo largo de retratos, escenas urbanas, viajes y proyectos singulares. Mas que unas memorias visuales, esta obra es una invitacion a revivir la emocion de la aventura, la busqueda constante de lo inesperado y la esencia de la fotografia como arte y experiencia vital.

A new and radically original account of the longest military conflict in European history which challenges the conventional periodisation of the Hundred Years War to consider a much longer period of Anglo French conflict Michael Livingston argues that the English lens through which the war has been viewed has led historians to define it in terms of English interests most famously the claim of the English Plantagenet king Edward III to be the rightful king of France and that the events collectively labelled the Hundred Years War are best seen as a sequence of steps in France s struggle to define itself as a nation For much of the period France s primary rival was indeed England But it was by no means the only combatant Burgundy stood in its way too as did Brittany Flanders Navarre and other rival powers Viewing France as the primary engine driving the war leads Livingston to consider a much longer timespan starting with the Anglo French Pirate War of 1292 which swiftly escalated into a fight over England s feudal possessions in Gascony and ending with the marriage of Charles VIII of France to Anne of Brittany by which Brittany was subsumed into the French realm
