"La aspiración a lo sagrado, ese otro fenómeno de la vida cotidiana, no encuentra satisfacción convincente en la época en que vivimos. En los cinco relatos magistrales reunidos en esta obra, Mircea Eliade analiza esta carencia. La creacion poetica, se avoca a desentrañar la ausencia de ellos y a sentar la oportunidad de un retorno."

O libro propón unha suxerente visión dunha sociedade que vivía a un ritmo máis lento e sosegado, unha sociedade na que a comida e a bebida, malia o precario vivir da maioría da poboación, eran elementos de gran importancia para o artellamento da convivencia e a vida social.

Tomás Arroyo CrespoCuando la Humanidad cazadora y recolectora descubre la agricultura y ganadería, se instala junto a los ríos. Ahí está el agua que fertilizará sus campos, abrevará a sus ganados, mitigara la sed de las personas, cocera los alimentos y sera un elemento importante en su produccion artesana y en la construccion de viviendas. Las grandes civilizaciones humanas se han creado junto a los rios. La mesopotamica, junto al Tigris y el Eufrates, la egipcia, junto al Nilo, las hindues, junto al Indo y Ganges... Como decian los latinos, Mutatis, mutandi..., es decir: cambiando lo que haya que cambiar y reduciendo la escala cuanto haya que reducirla, se puede afirmar que a orillas del Urbel se ha ido configurando un estilo de vida bastante homogeneo en los pueblos asentados en sus riberas. Economia agropecuaria de subsistencia, en lucha continua por la produccion de excedentes, bienes no necesarios para subsistir, que poder vender para vivir mas comodamente. Explotacion similar de los recursos naturales (caza, pesca, recoleccion de frutos silvestres). Juegos populares (tuta, bolos) y formas de divertirse similares (fiestas, celebraciones familiares, ratos de ocio). Entre otros, estos pueblos comparten rasgos etnograficos muy similares: Nidaguila, Terradillos, La Piedra, Santa Cruz, Fuente Urbel, Basconcillos, Los Valcarceres, Fuencivil, Villanueva de Puerta, Villadiego, Brulles, Coculina, Acedillo, Quintanilla Pedro Abarca, San Pantaleon, Huermeces, Montorio, La Nuez de Arriba, Quintana del Pino...

Humanity has often found itself on the precipice. We've survived and thrived because we've never stopped moving... 'Stops you dead in your tracks ...An absolute revelation' Sue Black, bestselling author of All That RemainsIn this eye-opening book, Johannes Krause, Chair of the Max Planck Institute for the History of Humanity, offers a new way of understanding our past, present and future. Marshalling unique insights from archaeogenetics, an emerging new discipline that allows us to read our ancestors' DNA like journals chronicling personal stories of migration, Krause charts two millennia of adaption, movement and survival, culminating in the triumph of Homo Sapiens as we swept through Europe and beyond in successive waves of migration - developing everything from language, the patriarchy, disease, art and a love of pets as we did so. We also meet our ancestors, from those many of us have heard of - such as Homo Erectus and the Neanderthals - to the wildly unfamiliar but no less real: the recently discovered Denisovans, who ranged across Asia and, like humans, interbred with Neanderthals; the Aurignacians, skilled artists who, 40,000 years ago, brought about an extraordinary transformation in what our species could invent and create; the Varna, who buried their loved ones with gold long before the Pharaohs of Egypt did; and the Gravettians, big game hunters who were Europe's most successful early settlers until they perished in the face of the toughest opponent humanity had ever faced: the ice age.As well as being a radical new telling of our shared story, this book is a reminder that the global problems that keep us awake at night - climate catastrophe; the sudden emergence of deadly epidemics; refugee crises; ethnic conflict; over-population - are all things we've faced, and overcome, before.

Outra maneira de pensar a Galicia do noso tempo.

"Utilizaremos la historia de los relojes para analizar el capitalismo, el intercambio de conocimientos, la construcción de los imperios y los cambios radicales en nuestras vidas que ha provocado la industrializacion. Reflexionaremos sobre la moralidad -el bien y el mal-, asi como la identidad -quienes somos-, todo ello intermediado por los relojes. Y abordaremos resueltamente la vida, la muerte, la guerra y la paz. La gente utiliza relojes para matarnos, pero con que pensaramos sencillamente en el poder que ejercen, tambien podrian salvarnos."Desde las primeras civilizaciones, en todas las culturas la gente ha fabricado y utilizado relojes. Desde los relojes de sol urbanos de la antigua Roma hasta los relojes de agua medievales de la China imperial, y desde los relojes de arena que provocaron una revolucion silenciosa en la Edad Media hasta los observatorios de la Ilustracion en la India, la historia de los relojes es una historia de los mayores logros de la civilizacion, pero tambien de sus peores excesos. Al ritmo del tictac de doce relojes de nuestro pasado, este libro trata de mostrar como, durante miles de años, la hora ha sido utilizada, politizada y convertida en un arma. Con relojes, las elites ejercen el poder, ganan dinero, gobiernan a los ciudadanos y con
