Las hazañas del valeroso marinero Arturo Prat Chacón son retratadas a través de este hermoso comic, cuyas ilustraciones enmarcan una de las batallas más importantes de la Guerra del Pacífico.

"Sin duda, uno de los procesos históricos que más ha fascinado a los estudiodos de la historia nacional es el de la Guerra del Pacífico. Sus causas, sus batallas y sus protagonistas siguen llenando las páginas de libros, los que se publican cada año. Nos siguen fascinando las hazañas, el sacrificio y la lucha contra la adversidad. Y con razón, porque una sociedad que olvida y denosta a sus héroes patrios, tiene por delante un futuro oscuro.

Civilizaciones de la Antigüedad, como es el caso los griegos o de Roma, entendieron, quizás espontáneamente, la necesidad de mantener viva la llama de sus héroes. ¿Habrían logrado los griegos del siglo V poder resistir y vencer la invasión Persa sin la conciencia de un pasado glorioso que remontaban a la Guerra de Troya? ¿Habrían podido los romanos dominar el Mediterráneo sin el ejemplo republicano de Horacio, Cincinato y Escipión? Ambas naciones supieron sobreponerse y dejarnos su legado cultural. Los pueblos, como las personas, no solo necesitan de buen juicio para progresar; hace falta un elemento inspiracional que fomente la unidad y el esfuerzo por el bien común.

Arturo Prat Chacón nació en una hacienda, hacia 1848, en la actual región de Nuble, provincia de Itata, cuando la república chilena aún estaba en construcción. Posteriormente, se muda a Santiago y a los 10 años ingresa a la Escuela Naval, en Valparaíso, en donde forma lazos de amistad en el "Curso de los Héroes", , nombre que denomina a su generación, puesto que todos sus

integrantes tendrían una destacada participación en la Guerra del Pacífico.

Se suele recordar a Arturo Prat por el combate naval de 1879, pero existen muchos

Iquique no son más que el cierre de una vida entregada al deo O Higgins en 1868; su matrimonio con el gran amor de su vida, Carmela Carvajal en 1873 y la trágica muerte de su hija al año siguiente; su cercanía con la corbeta Esmeralda, donde incluso estudia para ser abogado, lo que logra en 1876 en la Universidad de Chile; su docencia, tanto en la Escuela Naval, preparando futuros oficiales, y en sus clases gratuitas para trabajadores en la Escuela Benjamín Franklyn;

su misión confidencial en Montevideo en 1878; o, el mismo bloqueo de Iquique en

1879. Todo esto es la antesala al 21 de mayo, momento donde su actuar no hace más que reflejar una actitud de sacrificio y honor que siempre caracterizo a Arturo.

Hoy, habiéndose cumplido casi 150 años del Combate Naval de lquique, y estando Chile en un momento de trascendencia histórica, cabe la pregunta sobre qué rescatar de nuestro patrimonio histórico para fomentarlo en nuestros jóvenes. La respuesta es clara: el ejemplo de Prat esta más atente que nunca, y sus ideales de entrega, valor y sacrificio son claves para la construcción de Chile, Por algo, está la famosa frase de Gabriela Mistral: "Es hermosa nuestra historia, y para dar en una narración a nuestros hijos la llamarada del heroísmo, no necesitamos recurrir ni a Grecia, ni Roma, si Prat fue toda Esparta".

A new prophecy leads to a dangerous quest.

When Percy receives an urgent distress call from Grover, he immediately prepares for battle. He knows he’ll need his powerful demigod allies, Annabeth and Thalia, at his side; his trusty bronze sword, Riptide; and . . . a ride from his mom.

The demigods race to the rescue, only to find that Grover has made an important discovery: two new powerful half-bloods, whose parentage is unknown. But that’s not all that awaits them. The Titan lord, Kronos, has set up his most devious trap yet, and the young heroes have just fallen prey.

Now, Percy and his friends are faced with their most dangerous challenge—the chilling prophecy of the Titan’s Curse. They must rescue the goddess Artemis by the Winter Solstice, or all will be lost . . . including Annabeth.

Whether you are new to the world of Percy Jackson or a longtime fan, this tie-in paperback edition with full-color photos from the Disney+ series is a must-have for your library.

In the shadows, trouble is brewing . . .

When Starflight is stolen by his own tribe, he hopes to at least discover some of the long-held NightWing secrets -- what magical powers they really have, who they're allied with in the war, and where they've been living all this time.

But the truth about Starflight's tribe is more terrible than he ever imagined: Not only do the NightWings live in a dark, miserable place, but they've imprisoned several innocent RainWings there, too. Stranded and alone, Starflight only wants to get back to his friends. But the fate of two kingdoms now rests in his talons, and with no one to save him, Starflight will have to find a way to be brave . . . before it's too late.

But shattering news from Morrowseer has shaken Sunny’s faith in their destiny. Is it possible for anyone to end this terrible war and choose a new SandWing queen? What if everything they’ve been through was for nothing?

Buried secrets, deadly surprises, and an unexpected side to scavengers are all waiting for her in the shifting sands of the desert, where Sunny must decide once and for all: Is her destiny already written?

Or can five dragonets change their fate and save the world . . . the way they choose?

Peace has come to Pyrrhia... for now.

The war between the tribes is finally over, and now the dragonets of the prophecy have a plan for lasting peace: Jade Mountain Academy, a school that will gather dragonets from all the tribes and teach them to live together, perhaps even as friends.

Moonwatcher isn't sure how she feels about school, however. Hidden in the rainforest for most of her life, the young NightWing has an awful secret. She can read minds, and even see the future. Living in a cave with dozens of other dragons is noisy, exhausting—and dangerous.

In just a few days, Moon finds herself overwhelmed by her secret powers and bombarded by strange thoughts, including those of a mysterious dragon who might be a terrible enemy. And when someone starts attacking dragons within the academy, Moon has a choice to make: Stay hidden and safe? Or risk everything to save her new friends?

Daring mission... or deadly mistake?

Winter has been a disappointment to his royal IceWing family his whole life. When his sister, Icicle, runs away from Jade Mountain Academy, fleeing terrible crimes and possibly planning to commit more, Winter knows that they both need a second chance to make things right -- if only he can find her.

Winter's new clawmates, Moon, Qibli, and Kinkajou, won't let him make this dangerous journey alone. They don't seem to understand that IceWings, the most superior of all dragon tribes, can fix their own problems. When their search leads the dragonets straight into Queen Scarlet's vicious talons, Winter is grateful to have some help. But even the bravest dragons can't follow him to the Ice Kingdom, where he'll have to face the greatest threat of all: his own family.

Peril has been loyal to Queen Scarlet, who used her fatal firescales to kill countless dragons in the SkyWing arena. Now, Peril is loyal to Clay, the only dragonet who has ever been her friend. So when Scarlet threatens Jade Mountain Academy, Peril sets off to find her former queen, stop her, and save the day, no matter what it takes.

There's just one problem: a strangely persistent SeaWing, Turtle, insists on coming along, too. Turtle is worried about his friends, who left to search for Scarlet and haven't returned. Peril is worried that she might accidentally burn Turtle -- or burn him on purpose, for being so annoying -- and frustrated that she keeps saying and doing the wrong things. She can't escape her firescales, and she can't escape her reputation as the deadliest dragon in Pyrrhia.

So when she's offered a chance to trade everything for a new life, Peril has to decide who she's really loyal to . . . and whether her own scales might actually be worth saving.

Queen Coral welcomes her with open wings, but a mysterious assassin has been killing off the queen's heirs for years, and Tsunami may be the next target. The dragonets came to the SeaWings for protection, but this ocean hides secrets, betrayal, and perhaps even death.

But there’s one aspect of her identity that she knows for sure doesn’t fit in with her image–Robin likes girls.

How is she supposed to be her true self in teeny-tiny Hawkins, Indiana? Robin is convinced the only way she can experience real life is by fleeing to Europe for the summer–aka Operation Croissant. But she has no money, no permission, and no one to share the adventure with–and it will take a heck of a lot more than that to escape Hawkins in one piece.

Having defeated the monstrous threat that nearly destroyed the peculiar world, Jacob Portman is back where his story began, in Florida. Except now Miss Peregrine, Emma, and their peculiar friends are with him, and doing their best to blend in. But carefree days of beach visits and normalling lessons are soon interrupted by a discovery—a subterranean bunker that belonged to Jacob’s grandfather, Abe.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • If you think you know the truth behind Dr. Brenner’s experiments at Hawkins Laboratory, prepare to have your mind turned Upside Down in the first official Stranger Things novel—“the prequel story that fans have been waiting for” (Kirkus Reviews).

It’s the summer of 1969, and the shock of conflict reverberates through the youth of America. As a student at a quiet college campus in the heartland of Indiana, Terry Ives couldn’t be farther from the front lines of Vietnam or the protests in Washington.
 
But the world is changing, and Terry isn’t content to watch. When word gets around about an important government experiment in the small town of Hawkins, she signs on as a test subject for the project, code-named MKULTRA. The remote lab, deep in the woods, contains a mystery Terry is determined to uncover.
 
Behind the walls of Hawkins National Laboratory—and the piercing gaze of its director, Dr. Martin Brenner—lurks a conspiracy greater than Terry could have ever imagined. To face it, she’ll need the help of her fellow test subjects.
 
Amid the rising tensions of the new decade, Terry Ives and Martin Brenner have begun a different kind of war—one where the human mind is the battlefield.
