This second volume is dedicated to the study of a Jewish community in Extremadura on the Eve of the Expulsion from Spain. Based on documents which are now published for the first time, this study reveals the life and surroundings of a community lulled into a false sense of security and endeavoring to build its life in peace while the war against Granada continues. The order for Expulsion came as a blow yet, undaunted, the Jewish community set out on the road to a new destiny.

The Virgin of Guadalupe is famously migratory, traversing continents and crossing and recrossing oceans. Guadalupe’s earliest cult originated in medieval Iberia, where Our Lady of Guadalupe from Extremadura, Spain, played a significant role in the reconquista and garnered royal backing. The Spanish Guadalupe accompanied the conquistadors as part of the spiritual arsenal used to Christianize the Americas, where new images of the Virgin acted as catalysts to implant her devotion within multiethnic constituencies.This masterful study by Jeanette Favrot Peterson traces the transmission of Guadalupe as la Virgen de ida y vuelta from Spain to the Americas and back again, analyzing how the Spanish and Mexican titular images, and a selection of the copies they inspired, operated within the overlapping spheres of religion and politics. Peterson explores two central paradoxes: that only through a material object can a divine and invisible presence be authenticated and that Guadalupe’s images were made to work for enacting revolutionary change while preserving the colonial status quo. She examines the artists who created images of Guadalupe, their patrons, and the diverse viewing audiences for whom those images were intended. This exegesis reveals that visual evidence functioned on a par with written texts (treatises, chronicles, and sermons of ecclesiastical officialdom) in measuring popular beliefs and political strategies.

22x15 cm. 414 pp. XX Premio Fundación Obra Pía de los Pizarro Francisco Pizarro vino al mundo en Trujillo de Extremadura. Fue fruto de los furtivos amores mantenidos entre la campesina Francisca González y el capitán Gonzalo Pizarro; por tanto tuvo genes plebeyos e hidalgos. Sin embargo, muy pronto primaron en él los paternos, ya que a los diecisiete años éstos le indujeron a seguir la carrera militar. A esa edad se enroló en los tercios del Gran Capitán, que luchaban en Nápoles, y desde entonces se convirtió en un soldado. Consecuentemente, después de regresar de Italia, en 1502, marchó a las Indias y mientras participaba en las expediciones fundacionales de poblaciones caribeñas y en el descubrimiento del Mar del Sur, comenzó a soñar con encontrar el rico Birú. Su gran tesón y constancia le permitieron conquistarlo, cuando ya tenía una edad avanzada, tras protagonizar una gesta de gran valentía y heroicidad casi sin precedentes en la Historia. A partir de ahí, Francisco Pizarro se transformó en un gobernador que creó ciudades, legisló ordenanzas para su buen funcionamiento, para la explotación minera y propició el bienestar de los aborígenes. Pero esta labor no siempre ha sido reconocida; muchas veces ha quedado empañada por las ejecuciones realizadas bajo su mandato, como las del Inca Atahualpa y la de su socio Diego de Almagro, o por la considerada destrucción del Tahuantinsuyo, el gran imperio Inca. En las páginas de este libro se ponen de manifiesto, además de las luces y las sombras del conquistador, la infinidad de dificultades que hubo de vencer hasta lograr su objetivo y los amores con dos princesas andinas; todo ello reflejado bajo su propia voz con el fin de que sea el lector quien establezca la opinión que le merece tan discutido personaje.

En 1555, el emperador Carlos V anuncia a los dignatarios de los Paises Bajos que abandona el poder para cederselo a su hijo Felipe porque tiene la intencion de recluirse al monasterio de Yuste, en lo mas profundo de Extremadura. Decepcionado por un ideal imposible de conseguir, agotado por los incesantes viajes a traves de sus reinos, se retira del mundo para consagrarse a su ultima pasion, digna de un principe del Renacimiento: los instrumentos de medida del tiempo. Esta novela es el relato de esa renuncia, un acto excepcional en la Historia, que choco a sus contemporaneos tanto como resuena, hoy, por su extrana modernidad. Es tambien la historia de su reino y de su obsesion por un reloj misterioso, cuyo funcionamiento y finalidad se le escapan. Ninguno de los maestros relojeros que le rodean saben desentranar el secreto de ese increible mecanismo. Tras haber ampliado su imperio desde Europa hasta America, conseguira resolver el insondable misterio del tiempo? Por que el hombre mas poderoso de Occidente, emperador del Sacro Imperio Romano Germanico, que se opuso con todas sus fuerzas al ascenso del Imperio otomano, decide abandonar el poder? / In 1555, Emperor Charles V abandons his position to give it to his son Philip. Disappointed by an ideal impossible to achieve, exhausted by the incessant journeys through his kingdoms, he devotes himself to his last passion, worthy of a prince of the Renaissance: the instruments of time measurement.
