«Los héroes» is the historical essay by Thomas Carlyle, published by Sarpe in paperback (252 pages, in Spanish).
In these six lectures, Carlyle argues that historical development is largely explained by the action of exceptional individuals, and examines as many archetypes: the hero as divinity, as prophet, as poet, as priest, as man of letters, and as king.
1985 edition with translation by Pedro Umbert; volume 9 of the Biblioteca de la Historia collection, based on the original On Heroes, Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History (1841).
For readers interested in the history of ideas, the essay, and the role of great figures in historical development.
