George Buchanan

    George Buchanan se erige como una figura cumbre del humanismo escocés renacentista, célebre por sus profundas contribuciones intelectuales y su dominio del latín. Su escritura, lejos de la imitación servil, posee una frescura y elasticidad únicas, evidentes en sus aclamadas traducciones y tragedias originales. Más allá de sus logros literarios, Buchanan redactó un tratado político seminal que argumentaba que la soberanía reside en el pueblo, una doctrina que desafió el derecho divino de los reyes. Su exhaustiva Historia de Escocia sigue siendo una obra significativa, especialmente por su vívida descripción de los períodos que presenció personalmente.

There are toys to sit on and drive, toys to play with in the water, toys to stack and toys to admire. George Buchanan is the author of "The Furniture Repair Manual" and "Garden Furniture".
