from the books: "Descubra la apasionante vida y los hechos más relevantes de los grandes personajes de la Historia de España e Hispanoamérica a través de esta colección de biografías noveladas."
There are eight books in this collection of biographies of famous people from Eva Perón to Miguel de Cervantes.
We love the idea of studying historical figures around the world. These stories are each ~30 pages in length, with a "Comprensión de la lectura" section of multiple choice questions. While answers are not included, the questions are pretty straightforward. It's important to note that a few of the historical "facts" included in one or two of the stories might be questionable today, but this also makes for great conversation.
