Overview

Hace unos 950.000 aƱos, una familia de cinco personas caminĆ³ por una playa y dejĆ³ las huellas familiares mĆ”s antiguas jamĆ”s descubiertas. Para Simon Sebag Montefiore estos fĆ³siles sirven como inspiraciĆ³n para una nueva historia mundial, una que es genuinamente global a la vez que Ć­ntima, que abarca siglos, continentes y culturas y se centra en los lazos familiares que nos conectan a cada uno de nosotros. Traza una crĆ³nica de las grandes dinastĆ­as que han dado forma a nuestro mundo a lo largo de la historia de la humanidad a travĆ©s de intrigas palaciegas, asuntos amorosos y vidas familiares, vinculando los grandes temas ā€”la guerra, la migraciĆ³n, la peste, la religiĆ³n o la tecnologĆ­aā€” con las personas que estĆ”n en el corazĆ³n de la historia.

Un rico elenco de complejos personajes forman el corazĆ³n palpitante de la historia. Veremos desfilar los MĆ©dici y a los Incas, los otomanos y los mogoles, los Bonapartes, los Habsburgo y los ZulĆŗes, los Rothschild, los Rockefeller y los Krupp, los Churchill, los Kennedy, los Castro, los Nehrus, los Pahlavis y los Kenyattas, los SaudĆ­es, los Kim y los Assad. Algunos son lĆ­deres conocidos ā€”desde Alejandro Magno, Atila, IvĆ”n el Terrible y Gengis Kan hasta Hitler, Thatcher, Obama o Putinā€”, otros fueron genios creativos, desde SĆ³crates, Miguel Ɓngel y Shakespeare hasta Newton, Mozart, Balzac, Freud, Bowie y Tim Berners-Lee. Pero a esta nĆ³mina se suman personajes menos conocidos, como Hongwu, que empezĆ³ como mendigo y fundĆ³ la dinastĆ­a Ming; Kamehameha, conquistador de Hawai; Zenobia, emperatriz Ć”rabe que desafiĆ³ a Roma; o Sayyida al-Hurra, reina pirata marroquĆ­. AquĆ­ no solo hay conquistadores y reinas, sino tambiĆ©n profetas, charlatanes, actores, gĆ”ngsters, artistas, cientĆ­ficos, mĆ©dicos, magnates, amantes, esposas, maridos e hijos.

Las poderosas dinastĆ­as que desfilan por este libro representan la escala de la ambiciĆ³n humana, fusionando sangrientas guerras de sucesiĆ³n, complots traicioneros y a veces asombrosa megalomanĆ­a con una floreciente cultura o romances apasionados. Tan fascinante como la ficciĆ³n, El Mundo captura toda la historia de la humanidad con toda su alegrĆ­a, dolor, romance, ingenio y crueldad en una innovadora y magistral narraciĆ³n que cambiarĆ” para siempre los lĆ­mites de lo que la historia puede lograr.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A magisterial world history unlike any other, that tells the story of humanity through the one thing we all have in common: families.Ā 

Around 950,000 years ago, a family of five walked along the beach and left behind the oldest family footprints ever discovered. For Sebag Montefiore, these poignant fossils serve as an inspiration for a new kind of world history, one that is genuinely global and focuses on the family ties that connect every one of us.Ā 

In this epic, ever-surprising book, Montefiore chronicles the worldā€™s great dynasties across human history through palace intrigues, love affairs, and family lives, linking grand themes of war, migration, plague, religion, and technology to the people at the heart of the human drama. It features a cast of extraordinary diversity: in addition to rulers and conquerors, there are priests, charlatans, artists, scientists, tycoons, gangsters, lovers, husbands, wives, and children. Dazzling, and as spellbinding as fiction, El mundo captures the whole human story in a single, masterful narrative.
