Raimundo Silva es un revisor de textos de una editorial, un personaje anodino que tiene como misión en la vida conservar la integridad de los textos que llegan a sus manos. Un día, revisando un texto histórico, toma una decisión: introducir un "No" donde debiera aparecer un "Sí". Esta determinación altera, sin duda alguna, la historia escrita, pero también va a ser fundamental en su vida personal. El conservador Raimundo Silva no volverá a ser sujeto paciente de la historia, tanto la universal como la personal, porque su acto de rebeldía le hace asumir el protagonismo que, como hombre -y por tanto hegemónico- le corresponde en la vida. --Amazon.com.

This book was released on 1936. Conquest of Lisbon available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Although the Crusades are generally thought of in terms of the European attempt to conquer and colonize the Holy Land, from the twelfth century onward crusading also involved the "reconquest" of the Iberian peninsula from the Muslims. This eyewitness account of the capture of Lisbon in 1147 by the combined forces of King Alfonso Henriques of Portugal and a fleet of crusaders from the Anglo-Norman realm, Flanders, and the Rhineland is one of the richest and most exciting sources to survive from this period. Far more than just a narrative, De expugnatione Lyxbonensi vividly conveys the tensions between the secular and spiritual motives of a crusading army, as well as revealing a wealth of information on medieval warfare, the development of crusading ideology and holy war, and Muslim views of the crusaders. The new foreword by Jonathan Phillips provides insight to the latest scholarship on the integral place of the Lisbon expedition in the Second Crusade, the identity of the text's author, and his message for crusaders.
