About the Book

Hace unos 950.000 años, una familia de cinco personas caminó por una playa y dejó las huellas familiares más antiguas jamás descubiertas. Para Simon Sebag Montefiore estos fósiles sirven como inspiración para una nueva historia mundial, una que es genuinamente global a la vez que íntima, que abarca siglos, continentes y culturas y se centra en los lazos familiares que nos conectan a cada uno de nosotros. Traza una crónica de las grandes dinastías que han dado forma a nuestro mundo a lo largo de la historia de la humanidad a través de intrigas palaciegas, asuntos amorosos y vidas familiares, vinculando los grandes temas --la guerra, la migración, la peste, la religión o la tecnología-- con las personas que están en el corazón de la historia.

Un rico elenco de complejos personajes forman el corazón palpitante de la historia. Veremos desfilar los Médici y a los Incas, los otomanos y los mogoles, los Bonapartes, los Habsburgo y los Zulúes, los Rothschild, los Rockefeller y los Krupp, los Churchill, los Kennedy, los Castro, los Nehrus, los Pahlavis y los Kenyattas, los Saudíes, los Kim y los Assad. Algunos son líderes conocidos --desde Alejandro Magno, Atila, Iván el Terrible y Gengis Kan hasta Hitler, Thatcher, Obama o Putin--, otros fueron genios creativos, desde Sócrates, Miguel Ángel y Shakespeare hasta Newton, Mozart, Balzac, Freud, Bowie y Tim Berners-Lee. Pero a esta nómina se suman personajes menos conocidos, como Hongwu, que empezó como mendigo y fundó la dinastía Ming; Kamehameha, conquistador de Hawai; Zenobia, emperatriz árabe que desafió a Roma; o Sayyida al-Hurra, reina pirata marroquí. Aquí no solo hay conquistadores y reinas, sino también profetas, charlatanes, actores, gángsters, artistas, científicos, médicos, magnates, amantes, esposas, maridos e hijos.

Las poderosas dinastías que desfilan por este libro representan la escala de la ambición humana, fusionando sangrientas guerras de sucesión, complots traicioneros y a veces asombrosa megalomanía con una floreciente cultura o romances apasionados. Tan fascinante como la ficción, El Mundo captura toda la historia de la humanidad con toda su alegría, dolor, romance, ingenio y crueldad en una innovadora y magistral narración que cambiará para siempre los límites 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.
