Enciclopedia Eslava : Todo (o casi todo) lo que debes saber para ser razonablemente culto

In this new edition of the Slavic Encyclopedia, Juan Eslava Galán explores the topics of history, mystery, and legend that have most interested him throughout his life: What was sex like in prehistory? What is true in the legend of Atlantis, or in the fabulous kingdom of Tartessos? What was the Greek sin? How did the Romans crucify their victims? How did gladiators live? Was sacred prostitution practiced in Spain? Why did the Goths forbid a bald man from being king? What secret did Christopher Columbus hide? Why does the blood of saints liquefy? What is true about alchemy? Who were King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table? What is the enigma of the Black Virgins? How was the droit du seigneur applied? What was the Templar Order? And the... Cathars? And the Vikings? What's the truth behind the gruesome suicide of "the Lady with the Firebrand"? In addition, the reader will find many other equally fascinating topics, such as the scientific explanation for witches' flight, the Black Death, the Viagra that killed Ferdinand the Catholic, the lead book scam, the Inquisition, the hellish Cabrera Island, the true secret of the Fatima apparitions, the sinking of the battleship Maine, the Spanish diplomats who frequented the infamous Nazi brothel Salon Kitty, the bullfight attended by Himmler, and the mysteries of Rennes-le-Château involving the supposed progeny of Christ.
