Sobre el libro Maricarmen, una mujer adulta de clase media que sobrevive en su espacio de comodidad relativa dando clases a extranjeros. Manuel, un profesor y militante retirado cuya vida se ha centrado en tener un pequeño restaurante en la ciudad de México en donde convive y comparte con amigos música, charla y recuerdos. Ambos han fincado una amistad de años compartiendo vacíos, vivencias y caminatas por el cerro del Ajusco donde encuentran un pequeño objeto. La rareza del objeto, la secrecía y las dudas de un investigador provocan el reencuentro solidario de varios amigos, una geóloga investigadora, un antropólogo que abandonó su pasión profesional. Lo que parece una quimera se convierte gradualmente en un mundo distinto que coexiste con la compleja realidad y crisis de nuestro planeta. La información que contiene aquel objeto comienza a volverse una obsesión a la vez que rescata los ideales y valores del pasado de cada uno. A la realidad ominosa del mundo contemporáneo, se aúnan las dudas sobre mundos paralelos y el sentido de la vida.

In early seventeenth-century Spain, the Castilian parliament voted to elevate the newly beatified Teresa of Avila to co-patron saint of Spain alongside the traditional patron, Santiago. Saint and Nation examines Spanish devotion to the cult of saints and the controversy over national patron sainthood to provide an original account of the diverse ways in which the early modern nation was expressed and experienced by monarch and town, center and periphery. By analyzing the dynamic interplay of local and extra-local, royal authority and nation, tradition and modernity, church and state, and masculine and feminine within the co-patronage debate, Erin Rowe reconstructs the sophisticated balance of plural identities that emerged in Castile during a central period of crisis and change in the Spanish world.

This collection brings together scholars from a wide range of disciplines to offer perspectives on national identity formation in various European contexts between 1600 and 1815. Contributors challenge the dichotomy between modernists and traditionalists in nationalism studies through an emphasis on continuity rather than ruptures in the shaping of European nations in the period, while also offering an overview of current debates in the field and case studies on a number of topics, including literature, historiography, and cartography.
