Synopsis "Crónicas prodigiosas (in Spanish)"

Este no es un libro de Historia, copioso y minucioso. Es un libro de historias. Son 64 relatos de episodios en su mayoría trascendentales y decisivos, pero siempre apasionantes de esa Historia maravillosa, inspiradora y también sobrecogedora de la especie humana, contada en narraciones cortas, de estilo periodístico, que intentan ser amenas e ilustrativas sin perder sobriedad y rigurosidad. No hay en estos relatos una cronología, ni un hilo conductor, ni un tema dominante. Cada uno tiene su argumento propio.En las páginas de esta obra desfilan desde Alejandro Magno hasta el cadáver errante de Evita Perón, pasando por personajes que debieron ser olvidados como Eróstrato y algunos que se abrieron paso en los anales hasta convertirse en leyenda como William Wallace, Vlad Draculea y Lawrence de Arabia, entre otros.
