Book Synopsis



"El gran Miguel de Lys nos habla del gozo absoluto de ver cómo el cine tropieza con la historia una y otra vez, y aun así nos encanta".

ANDONI GARRIDO (@peroesoesotrahistoria)

¿Eran los dinosaurios como nos los mostró Jurassic Park?

¿Las pirámides fueron construidas por esclavos, como vemos en El príncipe de Egipto?

¿Las luchas de gladiadores resultaban tan letales como las retrata Gladiator?

¿Existió realmente Ragnar Lothbrok, el legendario guerrero de Vikingos?

¿Vivió Pocahontas una historia de amor como en la película o llevó una vida marcada por la violencia?

Miguel de Lys, uno de los divulgadores históricos más reconocidos, pone en evidencia -con humor y mucho criterio- todo eso que el cine nos ha hecho creer... y que nunca ocurrió. Con un enfoque fresco y revelador, nos ayudará a distinguir lo real de lo ficticio y a entender por qué el cine no es una clase de historia, sino puro entretenimiento con licencia para mentir.

Mediante el análisis de 101 películas históricas, descubrirás por qué muchas escenas, personajes o diálogos que hemos visto en pantalla son exageraciones, simplificaciones o meras invenciones. También comprenderás cómo estas ficciones moldean nuestra percepción del pasado y aprenderás a mantener un juicio crítico para no dejarte llevar por estereotipos o falsos mitos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"The great Miguel de Lys speaks of the absolute joy of watching cinema trip over history over and over, and yet we love it." --ANDONI GARRIDO (@peroesoesotrahistoria)

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 move, 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.

Si eres amante del cine y la historia, este libro te permitirá disfrutar de ambos con una mirada más consciente y menos ingenua. Además, tras su lectura serás capaz de debatir con fundamento y dejar en ridículo a más de un cuñado de sobremesa.

Prepárate para descubrir la historia que Hollywood no te contó.
