An epic new history of Ancient China told through the prism of a dozen extraordinary tombs The three millennia up to the establishment of the first imperial Qin dynasty in 221 BC cemented many of the distinctive elements of Chinese civilisation still in place today an extraordinarily challenging geography and environment formidable infrastructure a society based on the strict hierarchy of the family a shared written script of characters a cuisine founded on rice and millet a material culture of ceramics bronze silk and jade and a unique concept of the universe in which ancestors continue to exist alongside the living Records of these early achievements and their diverse and unexpected expressions often lie not in written history but in how people marked the end of their lives their dwellings for the afterlife Tombs and the treasures within them are almost the only artefacts to survive from Ancient China their scale and sophistication rivals their equivalents in Ancient Egypt Jessica Rawson one of the most eminent Western scholars of China explores twelve grand tombs each from a specific historical moment and place showing how they reveal wider political dynastic and cultural developments culminating in the lavish ambition of the First Empero

¡La historia del arte es tendencia! Un libro para divertirnos aprendiendo de la mano de una de las divulgadoras más queridas de las redes. ¿Sabías que en el Paleolítico ya practicaban el arte abstracto? ¿Y que las piramides de Egipto no son ni las mas antiguas ni las mas colosales? ¿Me creerias si te digo que muchos de los artistas mas admirados en la actualidad sufrieron un rechazo tras otro en su momento? ¿Te gustaria comprender, por fin, por que el arte ha pasado de representar la realidad a trabajar con imagenes y artefactos que parece que solo entiende el propio artista? Soy Carla Serrano, historiadora del arte, y a traves de estas paginas te voy a guiar para que veas que los movimientos artisticos no son solo un monton de cuadros en un museo, sino una ventana abierta a las emociones, las luchas y las revoluciones de cada epoca. Y lo voy a hacer muy rapido. Te proporcionare pistas para que puedas distinguir facilmente los diferentes estilos, conoceremos a los artistas mas top de cada epoca, descubriremos pintoras o fotografas injustamente olvidadas, cuestionaremos algunos mitos y, ademas, te explicare muchas cositas para que no te pierdas entre tantos movimientos artisticos y puedas ponerlo todo en su contexto. Desde las pinturas rupestres hasta el arte digital, este libro sera la mejor introduccion para comprender el arte de una forma ludica, alternativa y muy divertida. No esperes mas para aprender de una manera completamente nueva: aqui el arte se vive, se siente y se disfruta en cada pagina.

Una aproximación a grandes momentos de la cultura occidentalEstamos ante una historia de historias que revelan toda su potencialidad de dos formas. En primer lugar, como fuente de creatividad, pues los grandes relatos nos construyen por dentro, erigiendo una riqueza intima que suscita innumerables beneficios. En segundo lugar, como ataraxico manantial de sosiego. La belleza es un trampolin de trascendencia. Dispone de el tanto el artista como quien se solaza en su obra. Al trascender cedemos gozosamente ante un poder que se nos impone. Percibimos o atisbamos una grandeza indecible y nos entregamos en un plano que no es biologico, ni social, ni afectivo, en un nivel que tiene sus propias hechuras y reglasEsta obra es un canto a la belleza, y esta destinada a mejorar a quien se sumerja en sus paginas, abarrotadas de letra, color, melodia y celuloide.

Las tumbas de los reyes de León y Galicia y la Capilla de los Reyes de la catedral de Santiago que originalmente los alojó constituyen el punto de partida de este estudio sobre estetica, política y conmemoracion regia. Ademas de recuperar su apariencia original a partir del dialogo que mantienen con otras empresas artisticas, para reconstruir las tramas mentales y materiales que articularon su configuracion final se hizo necesario abordar un tema mas radical: la emergencia, en el entorno de 1200, de un nuevo genero artistico, la realizacion de una suerte de doble del cuerpo humano en un objeto hecho de materia previsiblemente imperecedera dispuesto sobre la tumba en la que se descomponen los restos del individuo cuya identidad representa, o dicho en terminos tradicionales, el surgir de la efigie yacente sobre la tumba en la Edad Media. Este fenomeno solo se puede comprender si se incorporan a la discusion otros objetos preciosos "encarnados" -que albergan restos humanos-, los relicarios, la reconstruccion de sepulcros extraordinariamente ricos hoy desaparecidos, las tumbas imaginarias hechas de letras que poblaron la imaginacion de las cortes europeas a finales del siglo XII y las conversaciones olvidadas que en su dia resonaron en torno a los monumentos.
