Spain has often been portrayed as a mystery or enigma~as an incomprehensible, perhaps even contradictory, reality. By emphasizing the way in which Spaniards have interpreted their own country's history since the Middle Ages, Marias identifies and corrects many myths that have been popularized by foreign scholars. He questions the common perceptions of the significance of the Spanish Inquisition and the misunderstandings of the effects of Moorish domination of Iberia. Marias reinterprets Spain's decline from the Golden Age it enjoyed in the sixteenth century and discusses Spain's errors~those mistakes that hindsight shows to have been philosophically incompatible with the country's professed ideals. Marias's is an intensely personal interpretation of Spanish history likely to cause spirited controversy. N° de réf. du vendeur 10132601
