This was not in my history book of the First Republic-The ability to divulge with humor. Are we facing an unknown period in our history?
Here you can listen to the conversation (Víctor Alvarado is the author of the book: The faith, ethics and values of superheroes ) that we had with Javier Santamarta Pozo, the author of the book in question…
Readers and friends of Cinema and Freedom!
Almuzara tells us about his book…This was not in my book on the history of the First Republic-The ability to divulge with a sense of humor:
“But was there ever a First Republic?” Jardiel Poncela would ask, paraphrasing his novel. It is obvious that if there was a second, there had to be a first! On February 11, 1873, after the abdication of Amadeo I of Savoy, in a joint meeting of the Congress of Deputies and the Senate, constituted as the National Assembly, the proclamation of the First Republic was agreed. It had a short duration because as a parliamentary republic it lasted less than a year, until January 1874, although it remained another year as an authoritarian republic, with parliament dissolved and constitutional guarantees suspended, and General Serrano at the head of the executive branch. Until the military pronouncement of General Martínez Campos that reestablished the Bourbon dynasty. From that period only negative data remain in the popular imagination: the presence of four presidents (who were not actually four nor were they presidents of the republic) and almost a dozen governments, the cantonal rebellion of Cartagena and the entry of the “Pavia horse.” » in Congress, metaphor for all coups d’état. «Santamarta is a writer with a single, passionate cause: that of the history of Spain. From his watchtower in Escurial, he will continue studying it and disseminating it like an ancient knight of arms and letters.
On the other hand, for those of us who love history this is one of the best collections ever made…
This was not in my film book-Stanley Kubrick and perfection:
Did you know that Akira Kurosawa, the most famous and admired Japanese director, tried to take his own life after the commercial failure of Dodeskaden? That Martin Sheen suffered a heart attack during the filming of Apocalypse Now, one of the most infernal in memory? Did you know that the main creator of cinematographic language was a fervent supporter of the Ku Klux Klan? That in 1921 Fatty Arbuckle, one of the most famous comedians of his time, was accused of murdering the young actress Virginia Rappe? That the actress Heddy Lamarr, who starred in the first full nude in commercial cinema, was the architect of the invention that today supports technologies such as WiFi and Bluetooth? That there are those who maintain that Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining contains a confession that the moon landing was filmed by the director himself in a studio?
