El Hijo del Hombre es una exploración brillante sobre el mundo que existía antes del Evangelio. Un libro lúcido, culto y profundamente entretenido que demuestra que la historia, contada con pasión y precisión, puede ser una experiencia reveladora de lo que somos.

Con una claridad extraordinaria y una erudición deslumbrante, Juan Esteban Constaín reconstruye el escenario en el que surgió la religión que cambió para siempre el rumbo de la humanidad. Grecia, Roma y el judaísmo del Segundo Templo se encuentran aquí como pocas veces en un ensayo contemporáneo y dialogan con rigor, con gracia, con un humor que ilumina y con la rara capacidad de convertir siglos de historia en una lectura vertiginosa y fascinante.

De la leyenda de Rómulo y Remo al Imperio de Augusto, de la expansión helenística tras Alejandro al conflicto entre los Macabeos y los seléucidas, del choque entre paganos y judíos a la figura irrepetible de Jesús, este libro excepcional guía al lector por los reinos, guerras, mitos, manuscritos y hallazgos arqueológicos que explican por qué el cristianismo primitivo no fue un accidente sino la consecuencia natural --y asombrosa-- del encuentro entre pueblos, lenguas y creencias.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The Son of Man is a brilliant exploration of the world that existed before the Gospel. A lucid, erudite, and deeply entertaining book that shows how history--when told with passion and precision--can become a revelatory experience of who we are.

With extraordinary clarity and dazzling scholarship, Juan Esteban Constaín reconstructs the setting in which the religion that would forever change the course of humanity emerged. Greece, Rome, and Second Temple Judaism come together here as rarely seen in contemporary nonfiction, engaging in dialogue with rigor and elegance, illuminated by humor and by the rare ability to turn centuries of history into a fast-paced and fascinating read.

From the legend of Romulus and Remus to the Empire of Augustus; from the Hellenistic expansion after Alexander to the conflict between the Maccabees and the Seleucids; from the clash between pagans and Jews to the singular figure of Jesus, this exceptional book guides the reader through kingdoms, wars, myths, manuscripts, and archaeological discoveries that explain why early Christianity was not an accident, but rather the natural--and astonishing--consequence of the encounter between peoples, languages, and beliefs.

Chic Comfort
I really enjoy these boots. Excellent for wet muddy city streets! The slip on version are a bit narrow when it comes to putting them on. I wear a size 8 and ordered 8.5 for extra room , but they were too long. I think if you have wide feet these may not be too comfortable. Overall a good leather shoe. No water sipped through while wearing.

Need breaking in, but awesome quality
I was a little worried when I first got these- my feet are a little wider than normal, but not wide enough to need wide width. They were quite snug the first few times I wore them, but after some breaking in they fit PERFECT. I did have to go up a half size from my normal 7 to a 7.5, but these boots are fantastic and I can tell I have them for a long time!

Get these! You won't regret it!
These are my go-to winter shoes! They are waterproof- I love them bc they don't look like your typical "rainboots"! Stylish- I get compliments everytime I wear them! Comfortable- first time I wore them they were tight through the middle of my foot, but after two wears I had them nice and broke in, now my most comfortable shoes!

So nice but not a good fit on my foot
I love these boots so much, they’re exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately, they are too big in the heel and flop, while too tight in the toe. I know the toe would stretch with wear, but can’t deal with a floppy heel, they pulled my socks down off my feet. I do have narrow feet. Too bad, I’m so disappointed! They seem well made and would go with everything. Comfortable, too, if they fit right.
