Resumen: This richly funny book has been a best seller for thirty years. 'All the history you can remember' , say the authors, ' is in it'; and the result is an uproarious satire upon text-book history and our confused recollections of it 'forty years on'; this his a historical harlequinade in which ' howlers', jests, and jibes tumble over each other from start to finish. The illustration by John Reynolds are ludicrously apt. A memorable history of England, comprising all the parts you can remember, including 103 Good Things, 5 bad kings, and 2 genuine dates.

Farewell in splendor : the passing of Queen Victoria and her age por Series A William Abrahams BookTemas: AUTORES INGLÉSES; NOVELAS; NOVELAS HISTORICAS.
Tipo de material: Texto; Forma literaria:
Ficción Idioma: Inglés
Detalles de publicación: London : Penguin, 1953
Resumen: After reigning as Britain's queen for 63 years, Victoria died at her palace on the Isle of Wight on January 22, 1901. In this highly readable account, Packard (Sons of Heaven) painstakingly details Victoria's last days, her funeral and the public mourning that followed. Although he expresses admiration for the queen's indomitable will, he views her as a self-indulgent and unforgiving woman. Victoria lived in seclusion for 40 years following the death of her husband, Albert. She deprived her eldest son, Bertie, heir to the throne, of any role in government, Packard argues, because Bertie could not live up to Albert's image. The deathbed scene, with Bertie and his sisters jockeying with Kaiser William of Germany (Victoria's favorite grandson) to be nearer their mother, comes vividly to life.

Detalles de publicación: New York : Penguin, 1961
Resumen: The Federalist, commonly referred to as the Federalist Papers, is a series of 85 essays written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison between October 1787 and May 1788. The essays were published anonymously, under the pen name "Publius," in various New York state newspapers of the time. The Federalist Papers were written and published to urge New Yorkers to ratify the proposed United States Constitution, which was drafted in Philadelphia in the summer of 1787. In lobbying for adoption of the Constitution over the existing Articles of Confederation, the essays explain particular provisions of the Constitution in detail. For this reason, and because Hamilton and Madison were each members of the Constitutional Convention, the Federalist Papers are often used today to help interpret the intentions of those drafting the Constitution.
