Hace unos 950.000 a???os, una familia de cinco personas camin??? por una playa y dej??? las huellas familiares m???s antiguas jam???s descubiertas. Para Simon Sebag Montefiore estos f???siles sirven como inspiraci???n para una nueva historia mundial, una que es genuinamente global a la vez que ???ntima, que abarca siglos, continentes y culturas y se centra en los lazos familiares que nos conectan a cada uno de nosotros. Traza una cr???nica de las grandes dinast???as que han dado forma a nuestro mundo a lo largo de la historia de la humanidad a trav???s de intrigas palaciegas, asuntos amorosos y vidas familiares, vinculando los grandes temas --la guerra, la migraci???n, la peste, la religi???n o la tecnolog???a-- con las personas que est???n en el coraz???n de la historia. Un rico elenco de complejos personajes forman el coraz???n palpitante de la historia. Veremos desfilar los M???dici y a los Incas, los otomanos y los mogoles, los Bonapartes, los Habsburgo y los Zul???es, los Rothschild, los Rockefeller y los Krupp, los Churchill, los Kennedy, los Castro, los Nehrus, los Pahlavis y los Kenyattas, los Saud???es, los Kim y los Assad. Algunos son l???deres conocidos --desde Alejandro Magno, Atila, Iv???n el Terrible y Gengis Kan hasta Hitler, Thatcher, Obama o Putin--, otros fueron genios creativos, desde S???crates, Miguel ???ngel y Shakespeare hasta Newton, Mozart, Balzac, Freud, Bowie y Tim Berners-Lee. Pero a esta n???mina se suman personajes menos conocidos, como Hongwu, que empez??? como mendigo y fund??? la dinast???a Ming; Kamehameha, conquistador de Hawai; Zenobia, emperatriz ???rabe que desafi??? a Roma; o Sayyida al-Hurra, reina pirata marroqu???. Aqu??? no solo hay conquistadores y reinas, sino tambi???n profetas, charlatanes, actores, g???ngsters, artistas, cient???ficos, m???dicos, magnates, amantes, esposas, maridos e hijos. Las poderosas dinast???as que desfilan por este libro representan la escala de la ambici???n humana, fusionando sangrientas guerras de sucesi???n, complots traicioneros y a veces asombrosa megaloman???a con una floreciente cultura o romances apasionados. Tan fascinante como la ficci???n, El Mundo captura toda la historia de la humanidad con toda su alegr???a, dolor, romance, ingenio y crueldad en una innovadora y magistral narraci???n que cambiar??? para siempre los l???mites 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. 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. In this epic, ever-surprising book, Montefiore chronicles the world'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.
