La España que no nos contaron : De los íberos a Franco y más allá: 30 mitos que han conformado nuestra identidad

Legendary heroes with little basis in reality; kings favored by the brush rather than by deeds; feats that were more tragedy than glorious epic… All of this has constructed a version of the past that we rarely question. However, as is often the case, real history is far more complex and much more interesting. Was Numantia truly an example of resistance? Was El Cid the flawless and invincible hero we were led to believe? Was Joanna truly mad? Was the Transition to democracy as exemplary as we've been told? With irony and plenty of humor, history popularizer Belén Bricio (@belenbricio_) revisits the great myths that have shaped our collective memory and uncovers what is true, and what is not. A journey through the lights, shadows, and misunderstandings of Spanish history to look at the past without filters. Because, spoiler alert, the history of Spain is not as you've been told.
