Archery

A walk through its history

By: Jorge J. López Bordón

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

This great little book is the consequence of a desire and a need: achieving a story capable of immersing us in the history of archery and its many and very different uses over the centuries, influencing traditions and religions since pre-history, where this journey begins, up to the present moment.

Starting from that pre-history, in which the use of the bow and arrow could make the difference between living or dying, we will travel back in time to make an exciting journey that will take us from the Ancient Age to the Modern Age, ending the tour in the Contemporary era and, why not, speculating on the future of this exciting activity that, after being relegated to oblivion by firearms, reached the rank of Olympic sport at the 1900 Paris games and was consolidated as such in Munich in 1972.
