La invención de España

Nations are not born: they evolve and are created, arise from struggles and hopes and persist thanks to the courage of their people. In a very real sense, they are "manufactured", and not because they are inspired by falsehood, but because they aspire to the truth, since there have always been alternative and conflicting visions that have contributed to creating a country. This book is an analysis of some of those alternative visions that over time have helped shape our perception of Spain. Visions often inspired by ideologies and the distortions that may accompany them, which need to be understood and explained, rather than rejected.
