¿Qué sucedería si el mundo llega a una era en la cual la tecnología ha evolucionado tanto, que la humanidad es despojada de toda conciencia? Si la guerra estallara entre los países destruyendo cada vez más el único hogar que posee el ser humano, si el hombre abandona lo único inmortal que posee se convierte en un ser maldito. Los demonios escaparon del infierno gracias a la maldad que el ser humano había creado, los ángeles intentaron intervenir pero tras siglos de interminable lucha se han extinto y han dejado al hombre solo en la guerra con el legado del conocimiento divino, que el ser humano no tardo en comprender, pues es su verdadera naturaleza. 600 años pasaron y el mundo lentamente regresa a su antiguo esplendor; los bosques regresan a cubrir las tierras, el agua se purifica nuevamente, la lluvia que una vez fue imbebible cae y trae esperanza a las alma de quienes encontraron una vida en las grandes ciudades estado, las capitales que fueron creadas por los arcángeles. La guerra es un arte que el hombre perfecciono durante milenios, ahora que se enfrenta en desventaja frente un enemigo ciego por la sed de sangre, la última esperanza se encuentra en una joven llamada Anna Loralieth, quien ha encontrado el camino que los guiara a la última pieza del enigma atrás de los ángeles. La espada creada por Uriel, la espada de la luz. Inicia una nueva cruzada para salvar a al mundo del señor de la oscuridad.

A history of Mexico City from the Aztec empire to the present day.

This comprehensive biography of Eduardo René Chibás (1907–1951) traces the life and times of Cuba’s most popular and charismatic politician during the late 1940s and early 1950s. Chibás, whose admirers included young Fidel Castro, emphasized honesty in Cuban public life and promised to sweep away corrupt politicians during his popular Sunday broadcasts. His ties with supporters, many of whom knew him simply as “Eddy,” were closer and more informal than any previous Cuban politician. During his 1948 presidential campaign, Chibás often hurled himself into the arms of adoring supporters after speeches. Such gestures were met with wonder and disgust by politicians more accustomed to buying votes than winning hearts. His suicide in 1951 dashed the dreams of his followers—who hoped he would deliver an honest government that provided services for the island’s poor and respected Cuba’s progressive 1940 constitution. His death, which was followed seven months hence by a military coup and eight years later by Castro’s revolution, represents one of the great what ifs of Cuban politics. This seminal work explores Chibás’s life in order to explain the nature of Cuban politics from the mid-twentieth century to today.
