La tragedia de los buscadores del grial
Book SynopsisEs el Grial una bendición o una condena?La búsqueda de la gloria se convirtió en tragedia para todos los que persiguieron el grial. Este libro resume una locura que no cesa.Sus protagonistas son fanáticos predicadores, caballeros legendarios, reyes que inspiraron cuentos, templarios juzgados como herejes, cátaros que eligieron la hoguera antes que revelar su secreto, genealogías imposibles que defienden una supuesta descendencia de Jesús y María Magdalena, e incluso arqueólogos nazis que parecen salidos de una popular saga cinematográfica.Todo comenzó realmente en la Última Cena? Es el grial una simple copa o un símbolo mucho más antiguo que el cristianismo? Dónde se encuentra Montsalvaesche, el castillo donde se dice que fue custodiado? Existió realmente el rey Arturo? Y por qué Heinrich Himmler se obsesionó con este mito?Este libro recorre las huellas de esa fascinación e invita al lector a realizar un viaje a través del tiempo y del espacio: Jerusalén, Egipto, Grecia, Inglaterra, Francia, España. Con rigor histórico y una narración vibrante, La tragedia de los buscadores del grial no solo responde a estas preguntas, sino que plantea otras aún más inquietantes.Porque quizá el verdadero enigma no sea dónde está el grial, sino por qué seguimos buscándolo.Un apasionante viaje por uno de los mitos más poderosos de la humanidad, donde la frontera entre la fe, la historia y la locura se vuelve peligrosamente difusa.

OUP USA Medieval Folklore
Book SynopsisOver a decade in the making, Medieval Folklore offers a wide-ranging guide to the lore of the Middle Ages--from the mundane to the supernatural. Definitive and lively articles focus on the great tales and traditions of the age and includes information on daily and nightly customs and activities; religious beliefs of the pagan, Christian, Muslim, and Jew; key works of oral and written literature; traditional music and art; holidays and feasts; food and drink; and plants and animals, both real and fantastical. While most books on medieval folklore focus primarily on the West, this unique volume brings together an eclectic range of experts to treat the subject from a global perspective. Especially remarkable are the surveys of the major medieval traditions including Arab-Islamic, Baltic, English, Finno-Ugric, French, Hispanic, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Jewish, Scandinavian, Scottish, Slavic, and Welsh. For anyone who has ever wanted a path through the tangle of Arthurian legends,

Taylor & Francis Ltd Graphic Narratives and the Mythological
Book SynopsisThis book explores graphic narratives and comics in India and demonstrates how these forms serve as sites on which myths are enacted and recast. It uses the case studies of a comics version of the Mahabharata War, a folk artist's rendition of a comic book story, and a commercial project to re-imagine two of India's most famous epics the Ramayana and the Mahabharata as science fiction and superhero tales. It discusses comic books and self-published graphic novels; bardic performance aided with painted scrolls and commercial superhero comics; myths, folklore, and science fiction; and different pictorial styles and genres of graphic narration and storytelling. It also examines the actual process of the creation of comics besides discussions with artists on the tools and location of the comics medium as well as the method and impact of translation and crossover genres in such narratives. With its clear, lucid style and rich illustrations, the book wilTable of ContentsList of Figures. List of Plates. Note on Transliteration. Preface. 1. Mythological Revisionings 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Uisneach or the Center of Ireland
Book SynopsisThe hill of Uisneach lies almost exactly at the geographical center of Ireland. Remarkably, a fraction at least of the ancient Irish population was aware of that fact. There is no doubt that the place of Uisneach in Irish mythology, and more broadly speaking the Celtic world, was of utmost importance: Uisneach was and probably still is best defined as a sacred hill at the center of Ireland, possibly the sacred hill of the center of Ireland.Uisneach or the Center of Ireland explores the medieval documents connected with the hill and compares them with both archeological data and modern Irish folklore. In the early 21st century, a Fire Festival started being held on Uisneach in connection with the festival of Bealtaine, in early May, arguably in an attempt to echo more ancient traditions: the celebration was attended by Michael D. Higgins, the current president of Ireland, who lit the fire of Uisneach on 6 May 2017.This book argues that the symbolic sigTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsForewordIntroduction1.
