España
A Brief History of Spain
Book • 2022
In 'España', Giles Tremlett traverses the rich and varied history of Spain, from prehistoric times to today.
The book covers Spain's connections to ancient empires such as the Phoenicians, Romans, Carthaginians, and Byzantines, as well as its colonization of the Americas.
Tremlett argues that Spain's defining trait is its lack of a homogenous identity, shaped by generations of changing peoples worshipping Christian, Jewish, and Muslim gods.
The book is filled with color illustrations and provides a brisk and informative account of Spain's multifaceted history.
