Product Information
Every school and public library should update its resources on Spain with this new, lively and succinct narrative of Spain's long and rich historical experience. With an emphasis on people rather than abstract developments, the human side of Spanish history makes the narrative readable and engaging. Based on the most recent scholarship, it chronologically examines the politics, society, economy and culture of Spain, emphasizing the last two centuries. Pierson, a noted authority on Spanish history, traces Spain's foundations in the Roman empire and Muslim conquest to its golden age in world history, its subsequent decline and its struggle to build a democratic government and modern economy following the dictatorship of Francisco Franco. The work provides a timeline of events in Spanish history, brief biographies of key figures and a bibliographic essay of interest to students and general readers.Product Identifiers
