In this book, the renowned Hispanist Henry Kamen offers a profound reflection on the historical relations between Spain and Catalonia, focusing on the events of 1714 and the mythology surrounding them. Kamen argues that Catalonia was not crushed after September 11, 1714, but continued to be a prosperous and flourishing region, the richest in Spain. The author examines how the history of Catalonia has been the subject of misinformation and distortion by ideologues and politicians, and seeks to offer a more accurate and balanced view of the Catalan past and its relationship with the rest of Spain. This book invites reflection on the unity of Spain and the particular essence of the Catalan people.
