«Felipe de España» is the historical biography by Henry Kamen published by Siglo XXI de España Editores in paperback (364 pages, in Spanish).
Kamen portrays Philip II through his unpublished correspondence and European archives, moving away from the image of fanaticism and repression. He reviews his private life —the young man, the husband, the father— and his most debated public decisions within the social, cultural and religious context of sixteenth-century Europe.
The work belongs to the Historia collection of Siglo XXI and was originally published in English as Philip of Spain; the translation of this Spanish edition is by Patricia Escandón.
Recommended for history readers interested in the Hispanic monarchy, sixteenth-century Europe and the black legend surrounding Philip II.
