España con honra

The 19th century is still perceived as a slab in the history of Spain, as an inexplicable political and social labyrinth in an exceptional, cainite and failed country. However, this vision is far from the European reality of the time. This informative and innovative work vindicates the importance of the "long Spanish 19th century" that runs from 1793, when an enlightened Carlos IV faced the French Revolution, until 1923, when his descendant, Alfonso XIII, opted for an authoritarian solution, thus finalizing an intense liberal and constitutional trajectory. Daniel Aquillué, one of the leading specialists in the period, dismantles clichés and myths to shed light on a century that became decisive for the configuration of contemporary Spain. A work called to forever change our vision of an unjustifiably reviled era.
