«Los creadores» is the historical essay on the arts and creativity by Daniel J. Boorstin, published by Crítica in 1994 (737 pages, in Spanish).
In this work, Boorstin traces the history of the creative imagination: from European megaliths to modern literature, covering architecture, music, painting, sculpture, and writing. It is not a conventional art history, but a guide to understanding the motivations of the «heroes of the imagination» and how their visions enriched the human experience.
Second volume of Boorstin's knowledge trilogy, after «Los descubridores». Translation of «The Creators» by Juan Faci and Francesca Carmona; includes bibliographic references and index.
For readers curious about cultural history and art; no need to have read the other volumes of the trilogy.
