La historia no es como la cuenta Hollywood: 101 mentiras de la historia que te creíste gracias al cine
Description:
Were dinosaurs as Jurassic Park portrayed them? Were the pyramids built by slaves as we saw in The Prince of Egypt? Were gladiator fights as lethal as we saw in Gladiator? Was there really a Ragnar Lothbrok, the legendary warrior from Vikings? Did Pocahontas have her love story as in the movie, or did she live a life marked by violence? Miguel de Lys, one of the most renowned history communicators, exposes--with humor and good judgement--everything movies have made us believe... but that never happened. With a fresh and revealing approach, he will help us unearth the truth from under the fiction, and understand why films are not history lessons, but pure entertainment with a license to lie. After analyzing 101 historical movies, you will find why many scenes, characters, and dialogues we've seen in the silver screen are exaggerated, stripped-down, or downright made up. You will also understand how these fictions mold our perception of the past, and you will learn how to keep a critical judgement not to get carried away by stereotypes or false myths. If you are a lover of film and history, this book will let you enjoy both with a more aware and less naive perspective. Furthermore, after reading this, you will have grounds for debate and will be able to beat more than one brother- or sister-in-law after dinner. Prepare to learn the history Hollywood didn't teach you.
