«Una historia de España» is the historical essay by Arturo Pérez-Reverte, published by Alfaguara in hardback (256 pages, in Spanish).
Arturo Pérez-Reverte reviews in 91 chapters plus an epilogue the main events in the history of Spain, from its origins to the end of the Transition. The author combines erudition and common sense with a personal, ironic and informal view, built from his readings, his experience and his craft as a novelist. The result is a subjective and enjoyable account that reflects on the Spanish past without renouncing the acid style that characterises the author.
The book belongs to the Hispánica collection from Alfaguara. It includes an opening quote about the mixture of peoples, languages, histories and dreams that make up Spain.
Recommended for readers interested in the history of Spain and for followers of Arturo Pérez-Reverte who want to discover a personal and unorthodox vision of the country's past.
Spanish journalist, former war reporter and novelist, author of the Captain Alatriste saga and novels such as The Flanders Panel and The Club Dumas.
