Esta obra fue la precursora del renacimiento italiano. Escrita en lengua vernacula, consagro a su autor como el representante y difusor de la prosa hablada por el vulgo toscano. En el Decameron, los humanos se desnudan en todos los sentidos, mostrando al lector el catalogo de imperfecciones interiores que dan, en cierta manera, sentido a su existencia: celos, envidia, traiciones, sexo, nada permanece oculto a la incisiva mirada de Boccaccio.

The piano rag is musical form unlike any other. Although melodious, ragtime’s excitement and appeal derives from its syncopated rhythms. Ragtime music achieved notoriety through its greatest composer, Scott Joplin (1868-1917). At an early age he studied with an old German musician who introduced him to the piano and music theory. While still in his early teens he earned his way playing piano in the honky-tonks of villages and towns in the Mississippi Valley. He was intrigued with the folk music of his people and the "jig piano" style of the self-taught pianists with whom he worked. Take

The Old Testament, and biblical scholarship itself, distinguishes between mythical and historical. This book argues that only historical thing in the Bible is the Bible itself, a superb product of Jewish thought. What is narrated in the Bible is only myth. But this myth about Israel’s past was still built with fragments of history, or rather with written traditions that were different from those expressed in the actual text, and obviously more ancient. These essays follow in the spirit of his controversial History and Ideology in Ancient Israel, which combine detailed philological resear
