La Reconquista contada para escépticos

Year 711 AD C. Muslims cross the Strait and enter the Iberian Peninsula. In just a few years, they conquered the entire territory, which until then had remained under the influence of the Visigoth kingdom of Toledo. Was it conquest or conversion? How was the birth of the Christian kingdoms conceived? In the years that follow, rebellions break out in Damascus, an independent caliphate is established on the peninsula, Cordoba rises and falls, and in the north kingdoms unite and divide in a slow but inexorable advance. With the chronicles of the time in hand and his unparalleled irony, Juan Eslava Galán reveals to us from a new perspective the most relevant history -perhaps also for that reason the most unknown- of Spanish past.
