Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A revelatory new history of Spain, from the late nineteenth century to the twenty-first, drawing on a wealth of Spanish-led historical scholarship never before seen in English'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 Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Condition: Muy bueno. : ¿Qué hubiera pasado si Indalecio Prieto se hubiese convertido en presidente del Gobierno en mayo de 1936? ¿Y si España hubiese entrado en la Segunda Guerra Mundial o ETA no hubiese matado a Carrero Blanco? Los momentos más impredecibles, inciertos e inquietantes de la historia contemporánea de España nunc…a se han visto sometidos a un diagnóstico contrafactual. Sin embargo, este tipo de análisis ofrece una de las formas más estimulantes de reivindicar y revivir la historia. Con inigualable maestría, historiadores de la talla de José Álvarez Junco, Santos Juliá, Javier Tusell, Charles Powell, Pablo Martín Aceña o el propio Nigel Townson, entre otros, nos describen una posible historia de España que no ocurrió, pero que podría haber ocurrido. Este libro ofrece por primera vez la historia contrafáctica de los momentos más impredecibles, inciertos e inquietantes de la Historia contemporánea de España. Con ello, se recupera el pasado como algo vivo, abierto y no predeterminado, a través de una de las formas más estimulantes de reivindicar y revivir la historia.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. 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. No, España no es diferente. La imagen que se tiene de nuestro país ha estado condicionada por dos mitos tóxicos : la leye…nda negra y la visión romántica de España como un lugar pintoresco y atrasado. El autor desmonta estos mitos en su libro y nos muestra una España equiparable al resto de países europeos , que muchas veces han idealizado su propia historia. A partir de estas premisas, Nigel Townson hace un recorrido desde el desastre del 98 hasta el momento actual , pasando por la regeneración, la no intervención de España en la Primera Guerra Mundial , la dictadura de Primo de Rivera , la situación en el Magreb, la primera democracia durante la República , la modernización, la guerra civil , el franquismo y el desarrollismo, la Transición y la convergencia con el resto de países europeos integrados en la Unión Europea . *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
