«Historia verdadera de la esclarecida ciudad» is the novel by Fernando Martínez Gil, published by Editorial Tilia in paperback (258 pages, in Spanish).
The title is ironic about the grand names cities give themselves. Some academics want to write the official, definitive history of their city, but they run into legends, myths and traditions: fabulous foundations, miracles and martyrdoms. The action takes place in the first days of the Civil War, with the siege of the Alcázar in the background.
The work was published in 2010. Fernando Martínez Gil is a historian and senior lecturer in Modern History at the Faculty of Humanities in Toledo (University of Castilla-La Mancha).
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction looking for a novel where irony and humour are applied to the myths of History.
Spanish historian and novelist (1956-)
