Review:

‘This is that rare thing – a work of academic history that is also an absorbing narrative. And its great merit is to remind us that at the centre of all the dynastic wrangling, political conspiracy and media speculation stands a man who has often felt very alone.’ The Economist

‘FOR more than 40 years a veil has been drawn over one of the most tragic episodes in the life of King Juan Carlos of Spain. Just before Easter 1956, his brother, Alfonso, 14, was shot dead with a .22 calibre pistol while the 18-year-old Juan Carlos was alone with him. The king’s authorised biography made no mention of the incident. But light has been shed on it by Paul Preston, a professor at the LSE, whose biography laying bare the king’s private life has reached No 1 in the Spanish bestseller lists. Preston’s book has caused a furore by suggesting the future monarch may have pulled the trigger. It says he admitted to a friend he had been holding the gun at the time. The professor has given more than 60 interviews to the Spanish media and has been bombarded with hate mail and death threats.’ Sunday Times, 11 May 2003

'The lights and shadows of the life of Juan Carlos are reproduced with scientific precision. Preston's scalpel has been implacable... A lucid, penetrating, accurate book, backed up with an arsenal of facts... A scientifically admirable work that once more sees one of the great European historians flexing his muscles.' Luis María Anson, La Razón

‘A splendid book which, as an unauthorised biography, offers both a panoramic view of contemporary Spain as well as providing profound insight into the role of a King in the late twentieth century... The book provides a magnificent mosaic to solve the riddle that is the Spain of the last seventy-five years.’ Marius Carol, La Vanguardia

'Preston's Juan Carlos is much more ambitious than a mere biography. I must confess that it is a long time since I read a six-hundred page book at a sitting. This is one of the books that, after thirty pages, you just know that you either stop or let yourself be carried on right to the end. It is not only a model biography of the King but also a detailed, quietly erudite, history of Spain from 1931 to the present, rich in anecdotes, written with magisterial literary skill.' Antonio Gallego Morell, Ideal de Granada

Sunday Times:
"....Juan Carlos's biography reads like a spy thriller....(Preston's) compelling style carries the reader with him."

Book Description Condition: Aceptable. Hay dos misterios centrales en la vida de Juan Carlos, uno personal, el otro político. ¿Cómo explicar la aparente serenidad con que Juan Carlos aceptó que su padre lo entregara, a todos los efectos, atado de pies y manos al régimen de Franco? En una familia normal, este acto se habría considerado una especie de crueldad o, como mínimo, una desaprensiva irresponsabilidad. Pero una familia realno es «normal», y la decisión de enviar a Juan Carlos a España respondía a una «superior» lógica dinástica. Pese a ello, la tensiónentre las necesidades humanas y las necesidades dinásticas late en el fondo de las distancia que separa a Juanito de Borbón, el niño alegre, y el príncipe Juan Carlos, de mirada perpetuamente triste. El segundo misterio estriba en cómo un príncipe salido de una familia con tradiciones autoritarias, obligado a actuar dentro de unas «normas» franquistas, y educado para ser la piedra angular de un complejo plan para la continuidad de la dictadura, se comprometió firmemente con la democracia. Paul Preston, uno de los historiadores que más luz ha arrojado sobre la historia de España en el siglo XX, nos ofrece ahora la biografía definitiva del rey Juan Carlos, en la que aborda las conflictivas relaciones con su padre, su educación encaminada a perpetuar el régimen de Franco, su apuesta por la democracia y su enfrentamiento al golpismo hasta llegar a la plena consolidación de la monarquía parlamentaria. El resultado es un libro riguroso y escrito con una prosa vibrante que nos ofrece un retrato humano y políticodel hombre que se propuso ser el «Rey EAN: 9788497932011 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Biografías, diarios y hechos reales| Biografías y autobiografías Título: Juan Carlos. el Rey de Un Pueblo: 564Autor: Paul Preston Editorial: DEBOLSILLO; 001 edición (7 mayo 2004) Idioma: ES Páginas: 672 Formato: Libro de bolsillo Peso: 528 Año de publicación: 2004.
