Al triunfar la República contra la Intervención y el Imperio, los liberales conquistaron el poder en México, pero fueron consumidos por la discordia, divididos con respecto de la reelección del presidente Juárez. Unos estaban a favor; otros estaban en contra. Los que estaban en contra postularon la candidatura de Porfirio Díaz, el general más popular del Ejército de la República, hasta entonces amigo y aliado de don Benito.

Porfirio Díaz. Su vida y su tiempo narra la historia de uno de los personajes más fascinantes en la historia de México. Héroe para unos, villano para otros, su vida de soldado ilustra en plenitud una novela de aventuras del siglo XIX. Es el tema que aborda La guerra. Díaz nació en un mundo donde la gente despertaba a las cuatro de la madrugada para rezar el Rosario; formó parte de la generación que derribó a sablazos aquel mundo durante la Reforma y destacó como nadie en la lucha contra la Intervención y el Imperio.

Han pasado casi 150 años de su muerte y todavía se usa una riqueza de apelativos para referirse a Antonio López de Santa Anna, presidente de México en once ocasiones. Hoy, la mayoría de sus compatriotas lo considera el traidor más grande de la historia. No siempre fue así. De hecho, cuando él vivía no hubo político o general más reverenciado, necesario y famoso en México - aunque en intervalos también el más odiado - que el General Santa Anna.

"Siglo de caudillos" es, en realidad, una biografía colectiva, porque fueron los caudillos en su conjunto los que, en el siglo XIX, encarnaron -para bien y para mal- las tensiones históricas de México. Liberales y conservadores asumieron su posición con tonos de guerra santa. Su biografía colectiva es una clave maestra para comprender la peculiar construcción histórica de México, un país proyectado hacia el futuro por un lado, "castellano y morisco, rayado de azteca" por otro.

Aquí se cuenta la vida de un hombre que solía despertarse, casi siempre, en un lugar diferente del que originalmente había elegido para dormir. Tenía este extraño hábito porque más de la mitad de su vida adulta, 17 años de los 30 que vivió antes de sumarse a una revolución, había sido prófugo de la justicia, bandolero, ladrón, asaltante de caminos, cuatrero. Y tenía miedo de que la debilidad de las horas sueño fuera su perdición.

Maximiliano de Habsburgo ostentó el título de emperador de México entre 1864 y 1867. Su vida como monarca trascendió hasta nuestros días, con especial dramatismo, por su trágico final. Fue un personaje a la vez polémico, ridículo y notable. El papel que desempeñó en México reflejó los cambios que propiciaba, en ese momento, el ajedrez mundial, jugado sobre todo en Europa y Norteamérica. Esta concisa biografía introduce a este destacado personaje histórico en el contexto de los 150 años del final del Imperio Mexicano.

Publisher's summary
De la paz al olvido dibuja el vasto panorama que abarca el arco de tiempo entre el último brindis triunfal de don Porfirio Díaz a su último aliento.
De la paz al olvido narra la historia del declive de Porfirio Díaz en medio de la transformación en México y Europa, en la que se cruzan la Revolución mexicana y la Belle Époque, el fin del orden monárquico y el inicio de la democracia moderna.
Rafael Tovar y de Teresa ofrece al lector el retrato de una época y la crónica de un personaje que lo fue casi todo: héroe, dictador, soldado, pacificador, culto cívico y fantasma en el exilio.
El 15 de septiembre de 1910, Porfirio Díaz cumplía ochenta años, encabezando los festejos del Centenario—una conmemoración cuyo objetivo era presentar a México ante el mundo como un país próspero y moderno, y asimismo ensalzar la figura del arquitecto de ese progreso. Sin embargo, la fiesta también sería la antesala de una convulsión.
Menos de un año después, el 25 de mayo de 1911, Díaz presenta su renuncia como presidente de la República, para partir rumbo al exilio europeo, antes de una semana, a bordo del Ypiranga. Tres años más tarde, estalla la Gran Guerra, dando fin a la larga paz del siglo XIX. Once meses después, el 2 julio de 1915, muere en París el caudillo mexicano.
Parece un periodo breve, pero el cambio político, social y cultural ocurrido en estos años es uno de los más radicales de la historia. Díaz llega a una Europa que vive el ocaso de una época marcada por el crecimiento económico, el fulgor científico y artístico, y el imperio de fuertes hombres de Estado. El viejo general ve en este declive su propio reflejo, mientras desde México le llegan noticias de la guerra civil y de cómo su nombre va cayendo en el olvido.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

The history of the Boston Tea Party is a hidden one. Why? Since it was a clandestine operation, all sorts of rumors and legends grew up around the event—many collected decades after the American Revolution had ended. At its core, however, the night of December 16, 1773, when colonials dumped tea from British ships into Boston Harbor, was more than a fight over tea and taxes. It was a struggle over the very nature of democracy and self-governance.
