«La España del Siglo de Oro» is the historical essay by Bartolomé Bennassar, published by Booket in paperback (352 pages, in Spanish).
Bartolomé Bennassar portrays the Spain of the 16th and 17th centuries through hidalgos, saints, rogues, jesters and kings. He addresses topics such as demography, painting, gastronomy and poetry, and shows contrasts between austere life and pleasure, noble pride and evangelical ideals, with a tension that ends in disenchantment.
Published in 2001, it belongs to the Biblioteca de Bolsillo collection (no. 1). The author, born in 1929, was a professor for over three decades at the University of Toulouse.
It is useful for history students and for those interested in the Spain of the Habsburgs and the Golden Age.
