Duarte

Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Duarte

Mexican Army veteran Andres Duarte was granted 6,595 acres along the southern foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in 1841 by the governor of Alta California. Rancho Azusa de Duarte eventually was carved into 40-acre parcels, and arriving families from the East and Midwest built schools, installed water lines, and grew crops. By 1900, two major rail lines served the area's thriving citrus industry. Duarte's beneficial climate led to the establishment in 1913 of a tuberculosis sanitarium, which became City of Hope, the world-class cancer treatment center. Bandleader Glenn Miller settled in Duarte. The city's location along old U.S. Route 66 brought many visitors to and through town. A strongly independent civic spirit led to a momentous 1987 U. S. Supreme Court decision to disallow the expulsion of the Duarte Rotary from Rotary International for admitting three women. As for Andres Duarte, he is commemorated by a 2007 bronze equestrian statue, located across Huntington Drive from the city hall that bears his name.

Desertores

Libro Desertores

Este libro descubre una Guerra Civil española desnuda de épica e idealismo, en la que miles de hombres desafiaron el reclutamiento obligatorio y encontraron en la deserción la única vía de escape a los horrores del frente de combate. Pedro Corral ha rastreado las huellas de los españoles llamados a filas que escaparon por centenares a los montes o que buscaron recomendaciones en la retaguardia para no ser movilizados; combatientes asesinados desde sus propias trincheras al intentar evadirse; soldados que se dispararon a las extremidades para ser evacuados; ancianos y niños encarcelados ...

Lucien Febvre

Libro Lucien Febvre

Este libro intenta dar a conocer una primera manifestación (poco conocida aún) del carácter «combativo» del historiador Lucien Febvre. Los años 1907-1910, de intensas agitaciones sociales en Francia, vieron, efectivamente, la participación activa y militante en el periódico «Le Socialiste Comtois», de Besançon, del que más tarde, en 1929, juntamente con su amigo Marc Bloch, fundaría los «Annales d’Histoire Economique et Sociale»
