Textul de pe ultima copertă
Spain
is
different'
was
for
a
long
time
the
explanation
proffered
by
historians
when
they
sought
to
explain
the
course
of
the
nation's
exceptionally
rich
and
varied
history.
Spain
was
the
only
region
in
the
medieval
West
(along
with
Sicily)
to
experience
Islamic
conquest;
the
first
nation
to
lay
claim
to
a
global
empire
and
the
first
to
lose
it;
and
the
country
in
which
the
extreme
forces
of
the
Left
and
the
Right
were
to
act
out
one
of
the
bloodiest
confrontations
Europe
has
known.
Today,
however,
as
Spain
has
become
firmly
integrated
into
the
political
and
economic
structures
of
the
European
Union,
the
long-held
notion
that
the
country
is
a
nation
apart
no
longer
seems
valid.
Simon
Barton
probes
the
extent
to
which
Spain
should
be
regarded
as
an
exceptional
case
and
provides
a
highly-readable,
lucid
and
balanced
account
of
its
vibrant
and
colourful
history,
from
its
origins
to
the
present
day.
This second edition of a highly successful text has been revised and expanded in the light of new scholarship, and now features additional maps and figures. Barton brings the story right up to date with coverage of recent events, such as the 2004 Madrid bombings and the general election of 2008.
