Este libro realiza un recorrido gráfico por la historia de la industria del automóvil en España hasta la Guerra Civil, desde las marcas más emblemáticas como Hispano Suiza, Elizalde o David pasando por otras iniciativas, como Victoria, DyG, Ideal? sin olvidar a los carroceros. Se muestra el papel de la llegada del coche en muy distintos escenarios: los viajes, la sociedad, el ambito militar, el campo y, por supuesto, las competiciones, que eran usadas por las marcas como escaparate publicitario. Tambien se rinde homenaje a los primeros propietarios, que contribuyeron a que las marcas nacionales alcanzaran fama internacional y asimismo fueron los causantes de que, durante el primer cuarto del siglo XX, España fuese un importante cliente de marcas tan prestigiosas como Rolls-Royce, Bugatti o Mercedes-Benz. Destaca la figura de Alfonso XIII, no solo como aficionado y entusiasta del motor, sino como verdadero impulsor de su industria.

La vida accidentada del monjo que va recuperar Poblet.Saquejat i abandonat el 1835, el monestir de Poblet recupera la vida monastica el 1940 amb larribada, sota els auspicis del franquisme, de quatre cistercencs italians. Pocs mesos despres shi afegia la primera vocacio catalana en mes dun segle, el sacerdot esplugui Bernat Morgades i Odena que, durant la decada seguent, esdevingue el puntal de la represa tant espiritual com material del cenobi pobleta.El 1950, pero, un cumul de raons eclesiastiques i ideologiques que aquest llibre analitza amb detall comportaren la desgracia del pare Morgades, que fou foragitat de Poblet, desterrat a França i condemnat a un exili dificil de comprendre que esdevindria una cruel cadena perpetua. El cas Morgades il·lumina des dun angle fins ara desconegut les relacions entre Esglesia i dictadura, entre catolicisme i catalanisme, des de la Guerra Civil fins als primers anys 1960.

Note: this title has a separate workbook. Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) continues to fascinate even today, more than 200 years after his death. His legacy is shown in beautiful paintings. He was an unrivalled general, although he did make occasional mistakes both on the tactical and the strategic level - the most significant was his attack on Russia, which annihilated most of his Grande Armee and led to his downfall. Napoleon institutionalized plunder and destruction in a way mostly only known by more primitive invaders. Both he and his generals and soldiers stole incredible amounts of cultural property and wantonly destroyed much more Napoleon did leave some durable institutions on which modern France is built upon, including the Napoleonic Code, the judicial system, the central bank and the country's financial organization, military academies, and a centralized university. We hope the reades will enjoy our seletion of artwork.
