«Los héroes» is the historical essay by Thomas Carlyle, published by Orbis in hardback (300 pages, in Spanish).
In «Los héroes», Carlyle argues that universal history is, in essence, the work of great personalities and examines how their influence has transformed society. He analyses figures such as Odin, Muhammad, Luther, Rousseau and Johnson as representatives of different types of hero: divinity, prophet, priest, man of letters and king.
The original essay was published in 1841. This 1985 edition belongs to the Biblioteca de Historia collection and includes the translation by J. Farrán y Mayoral.
For those interested in the history of ideas and the role of great individuals as agents of change.
