Paperback. Condition: New. 'The best account in a single volume of Spain since 1898, exemplary for concision and for accuracy in the use of language, as well as for equanimity and generosity of spirit' Felipe Fernández-Armesto, TLSA revelatory new history of Spain, from the late nineteenth century to the twenty-first'Spain is different,' proclaimed the Franco regime in the 1940s, keen to attract foreign tourists. For the most part, the world has agreed. From the end of its 'glorious empire' in 1898 to the dazzling World Cup victory in 2010, the prevailing narrative of modern Spain has emphasized the country's peculiarity. Generations of historians and readers have been transfixed by its implosion into civil war in the 1930s, seduced by the valiant struggle of the republicans, horrified by the barbarity of the dictatorship which followed. Franco's Spain was seen as an anomaly in the midst of prosperous and permissive post-war Western Europe. But, as Nigel Townson shows in this richly layered and exciting new history, beyond the familiar image, there lies a radically different history of Spain: of a dynamic and progressive society that fits firmly into the narrative of modern Europe. Drawing on over forty years of post-Franco scholarship, The Penguin History of Modern Spain transforms our knowledge of Spain and its politics, society, economics and culture. It interweaves cutting-edge Spanish-led research - never before published in English - and testimonies of peasants, housewives, soldiers, workers, entrepreneurs, feminists and worker-priests, for an original and surprising portrait, which allows us, at last, to discern the country behind the veil of propaganda and romantic myths which still endure today.…

Condition: Good. : Más allá de clichés, tópicos y verdades aprendidas a medias, lo que sucedió en España desde 1898 hasta hoy no es muy distinto de lo que sucedió en el resto de Europa. El eslogan turístico «Spain is different» encarna la máxima expresión de la singularidad española en el siglo XX, un concepto concebido por la dictadura franquista que ofrecía un triste contraste con la Europa occidental democrática y próspera.Esta obra argumenta que, desde el «desastre» de 1898, el colapso de la Segunda República y la tragedia de la Guerra Civil hasta la imposición de una larga dictadura y la Transición, España no ha sido diferente. Aunque ha seguido su propia trayectoria hacia la modernización, lo ha hecho sin desmarcarse del contexto europeo al que se adscribe.
