Un libro que echa por tierra diez tópicos sobre la Edad Media y nos descubre una época rica y vibrante. La Edad Media tiene mala fama. ¿Acaso no decimos «medieval» para referirnos a algo oscuro, primitivo o bárbaro? El historiador Martin Aurell empuña la alabarda para restaurar el honor de este periodo tan heterogéneo e injustamente tratado y que abarca un largo milenio, desde el siglo V hasta el XV. Rebatiendo diez grandes ideas preconcebidas una a una hasta derribarlas, presenta un magistral vademécum que destaca por su rigurosidad, su solidez y su ritmo narrativo. Solemos pensar que la Edad Media fue un tiempo misógino, intolerante, inculto, violento, sombrío, infecundo, opresor, xenófobo, tenebroso, ignorante, fanático... Pero ¿y si fuera, en muchos sentidos, más moderno que el siglo XXI? «La Edad Media no es un paréntesis mediocre entre dos periodos de paz y progreso. Tampoco es un tiempo exclusivamente alegre de fiesta incesante, guerra heroica y arquitectura innovadora. Como cualquier periodo de la historia humana, no es negro ni rosa y abarca todos los matices cromáticos. Pero ha tenido que soportar demasiadas acusaciones injustas».

Today, the world offers us more options than ever before, but it also forces us to juggle more priorities, to make more choices, and to make them faster. The result: a crisis of doing too much, or not enough, and making our decisions based on impulse, stress or guilt. In 10-10-10Suzy Welch offers an exciting, effective strategy that will help you make the right decision in any situation, at work or at home; with colleagues, family or friends. The rule is deceptively simple: when faced with a decision, consider what the consequences and outcomes of your various options would be in 10 minutes, 10 months, and 10 years. But the results are extraordinary. Using the framework of 10-10-10will allow you to think through your decisions and to match them with the expectations and values you hold dearest. Most importantly, it allows you to chart a path in the direction you want, and to head confidently towards it with focus, balance, and joy.

This volume aims to show through various case studies how the interrelations between Jews, Muslims and Christians in Iberia were negotiated in the field of images, objects and architecture during the Later Middle Ages and Early Modernity. . By looking at the ways pre-modern Iberians envisioned diversity, we can reconstruct several stories, frequently interwoven with devotional literature, poetry or Inquisitorial trials, and usually quite different from a binary story of simple opposition. The book’s point of departure narrates the relationship between images and conversions, analysing the mechanisms of hybridity, and proposing a new explanation for the representation of otherness as the complex outcome of a negotiation involving integration. Contributors are: Cristelle Baskins, Giuseppe Capriotti, Ivana Čapeta Rakić, Borja Franco Llopis, Francisco de Asís García García, Yonatan Glazer-Eytan, Nicola Jennings, Fernando Marías, Elena Paulino Montero, Maria Portmann, Juan Carlos Ruiz Souza, Amadeo Serra Desfilis, Maria Vittoria Spissu, Laura Stagno, Antonio Urquízar-Herrera.
