Historia de España sin mitos ni tópicos

Myths have haunted Spain since Scipio Emiliano besieged Numantia. During the following centuries, a string of fallacies has been wielded about this country that, by repeating themselves, have forged the so-called Black Legend. This book tackles all of them. From the idea that brutality was rampant from the 16th century on, to the one that shows the conquerors as bloodthirsty barbarians. With the veracity and rigor of the data as a standard, and under the premise of always seeking a pleasant dissemination, journalists César Cervera and Manuel Villatoro address in these pages the most recognized deeds of the Spanish troops over two thousand years, the most striking adventures of the monarchs who have led this country or, among many other things, the most outstanding milestones of its past. A rich and fascinating walk to get a little closer to the most exciting story of all: that of our history.
