Anécdotas de la nobleza española

Delving into the intricacies of the nobility, with its many facets and edges, with its intricate family trees, through innumerable events that have marked the history of Spain and the world, is not an easy task. Amadeo-Martín Rey y Cabieses offers us a walk hand in hand with him and with many titled noblemen, whom he treats and knows well, since the aristocratic world is no stranger to him. The book is a friendly meeting, full of anecdotes told by its protagonists, on a journey through the past and, also, the present. He reveals to us a little-known world, unpublished events or curious characters, full of the magic provided by the tradition of lineages and the freshness of conversations with barons, viscounts, counts, marquises or dukes. The titles chosen have been for reasons that -far from the greater or lesser noble rank or seniority of the grant- are simply circumscribed to the affection or closeness of their author to those who hold them. Thus, these pages break with taboos and stereotypes, common places and inaccurate interpretations about the role of the nobility in today's world, to demonstrate to what extent its members are an active, relevant and productive part of our society.
