Story0
Throughout the Second World War, Lisbon was at the very center of the world’s attention and was the only European city in which both the Allies and the Axis powers openly operated. Portugal was frantically trying to hold on to its self-proclaimed wartime neutrality but in reality was increasingly caught in the middle of the economic, and naval, wars between the Allies and the Nazis. The story is not, however, a conventional tale of World War II in that barely a shot was fired or a bomb dropped. Instead, it is a gripping tale of intrigue, betrayal, opportunism, and double-dealing....

Story0
The history of Spain unfolds like a poignant tapestry, revealing a time when Tarik the Moor brought the once-mighty land of the Visigoths under the sway of Islam. For nearly eight centuries, Spain flourished under its Muslim rulers, emerging as a beacon of civilization and enlightenment in Europe. Her fertile regions, enhanced by the ingenuity and labor of her conquerors, yielded bountiful harvests. Countless cities blossomed in the lush valleys of the Guadalquivir and Guadiana, their names echoing the remarkable splendor of a bygone era. - Summary by Stanley Lane-Poole

Ни один современный конфликт не вызвал такого бурного интереса со стороны не только интеллектуалов, но и более широкой публики, как гражданская война в Испании 1936–1939 годов. Ярко запечатлевшаяся в коллективном историческом сознании, она не только предвосхитила приближение Второй мировой, но и положила начало новой, ужасающей форме ведения войны, во многом определившей XX век. В этой и по сей день авторитетной исторической работе Пол Престон рассматривает гражданскую войну как противостояние демократии и фашизма.

Story0
Spain's transition to democracy after Franco's long dictatorship was widely hailed as a success, ushering in three decades of unprecedented progress and prosperity. Yet over the past decade, its political consensus has been under severe strain. A stable two-party system has splintered, with disruptive new parties on the far left and far right. No government has had a majority since 2015. Michael Reid overturns the stereotypical view of Spain as a country haunted by its Francoist past.

Spain's trajectory from Roman province to global superpower is a story of extremes: convivencia and Inquisition, Reconquista and empire, golden age and decline. Lucas and Luna guide listeners through the layers of Iberian history, from the Islamic caliphate of Córdoba and the Alhambra's last sigh to the Catholic Monarchs' unification, the expulsion of Jews and Muslims, and the flood of American silver that bankrolled the Habsburgs. They explore how the Treaty of Tordesillas divided the world, how the Spanish Road became a lifeline for an empire on which the sun never set, and how the defeat ...

Despite being relatively brief, this very listenable history covers environmental, political, social, economic, cultural and artistic elements and is very open to regional variations and to the extent that the history of the peninsula and of its political groupings was far from inevitable. Its tone is accessible, supported by supplemental information, and is perfect for travellers to Spain.

Enorme succès de librairie lors de sa parution en Espagne en 2003, cet ouvrage conclut à la responsabilité écrasante de la gauche révolutionnaire dans le déclenchement de la guerre civile espagnole. Selon les documents exceptionnels rassemblés par Pio Moa, l'origine du conflit n'est pas, en effet, le coup d'État raté de juillet 1936 contre la Seconde République espagnole mais bien la « menace rouge » que représentaient pour la démocratie les factions d'extrême gauche qui préparaient un soulèvement de type communiste sur le modèle de la révolution asturienne de 1934.

In 1528, a mission set out from Spain to colonize Florida. But the expedition went horribly wrong: Delayed by a hurricane, knocked off course by a colossal error of navigation, and ultimately doomed by a disastrous decision to separate the men from their ships, the mission quickly became a desperate journey of survival. Of the 300 men who had embarked on the journey, only four survived - three Spaniards and an African slave.

In just over a hundred years - from the death of Muhammad in 632 to the beginning of the Abbasid Caliphate in 750 - the followers of the Prophet swept across the whole of the Middle East, North Africa, and Spain. Their armies threatened states as far flung as the Franks in Western Europe and the Tang Empire in China. The conquered territory was larger than the Roman Empire at its greatest expansion, and it was claimed for the Arabs in roughly half the time.

Because of our shared English language, as well as the celebrated origin tales of the Mayflower and the rebellion of the British colonies, the United States has prized its Anglo heritage above all others. However, as Carrie Gibson explains with great depth and clarity in El Norte, the nation has much older Spanish roots - ones that have long been unacknowledged or marginalized. The Hispanic past of the United States predates the arrival of the Pilgrims by a century, and has been every bit as important in shaping the nation as it exists today.
