Culture

The Great Cultural Bible.

This is a work for those who want to have a living relationship with knowledge, without formulas or barriers. For those who think that the most useful task of culture is to enrich our lives and help us to know ourselves better.

This is a book for those who want to have a living relationship with their culture. Many times, knowledge has been constrained by formulas and barriers, and it has moved away from its most useful task, which is to enrich our lives and help us to know ourselves better.

How and why did modern society, the State, science, democracy or administration emerge? What did Heidegger say that we didn't already know? Why are Don Quixote, Hamlet, Faust, Robinson, Falstaff or Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde such well-known figures? Where was the unconscious before Freud?

This book addresses the remote and central episodes of the Old and New Testaments; the emergence of States and the epic of modernization, revolutions and democracy; the evolution of literature, art and music through their great works; the development of science and philosophy, the battlefield of ideologies, cosmogonies and theories; but also the education provided by books, schools or universities, newspapers and opinion forums.

This book also contains a chronological table, a brief list of the books that have changed the world, reading tips and a very detailed onomastic index that increase the usefulness of this essential work.

Reviews:
«A compass to guide us in the modern world, to navigate the current labyrinth of data.»
Fernando Savater

«A book that encompasses everything, for those eccentrics who do not want to die of topicality, fed only by a telepizza and a pirated video.»
Vicente Verdú

«This book includes everything that one never dares to ask in a tertulia. La cultura offers us a cultural baggage for the new millennium.»
Diez Zeit
