Inédito hasta hoy para los lectores españoles, Una mujer en la guerra de España es, sin embargo, uno de los testimonios personales más valiosos sobre la Sublevación del 36, la guerra y los desmanes de la victoria, y ello por varias razones: su autora, Carlota O’Neill nos sumerge, de la mano de su propia experiencia e infortunio, en el tenebroso mundo carcelario femenino del franquismo, muy poco conocido hasta hoy, y lo hace con una solvencia literaria y periodística admirables; su marido, Virgilio Leret, capitán de Aviación de la República e inventor del turborreactor, protagoniza, ...

Obviously, some studies will cover more than one definitive area.

La primera lo llevó más al sur de lo que cualquier humano había llegado jamás. Durante la segunda, desapareció sin dejar rastro en las aguas del Ártico. Los motivos de su trágico final están rodeados de misterio. Michael Palin, estrella de los Monty Python y expresidente de la Real Sociedad Geográfica de Londres, recrea vívidamente la historia del Erebus, desde su botadura en 1826 a las épicas expediciones que lo llevaron a la gloria y,...
