Durante casi ocho siglos, cristianos y musulmanes se enfrentaron en una prolongada y compleja lucha por el control de la península Ibérica. En este libro, el filólogo y escritor Antonio Puente Mayor recorre la historia de la Reconquista a través de los santos que acompañaron su avance, desde la caída del reino visigodo hasta la toma de Granada en 1492. Figuras como Santo Domingo de Silos, Santa Casilda de Toledo, Santa Áurea de San Millán, San Raimundo de Fitero o San Pedro Nolasco formaron parte de ese ejército de Dios que contribuyó a forjar lo que hoy conocemos como España.

After his victory in 1939, General Francisco Franco ruled Spain with an iron fist for 36 years. Franco’s rapid yet unlikely rise to power in Spain came to define a country for several generations. Franco was influenced by the wider trends and forces of the 20th century, yet he would indelibly make his mark on Spain in his own right, and in the process become one of the most widely derided figures in contemporary history.

Enorme succès de librairie lors de sa parution en Espagne en 2003, cet ouvrage conclut à la responsabilité écrasante de la gauche révolutionnaire dans le déclenchement de la guerre civile espagnole. Selon les documents exceptionnels rassemblés par Pio Moa, l'origine du conflit n'est pas, en effet, le coup d'État raté de juillet 1936 contre la Seconde République espagnole mais bien la « menace rouge » que représentaient pour la démocratie les factions d'extrême gauche qui préparaient un soulèvement de type communiste sur le modèle de la révolution asturienne de 1934.

Con esta premisa, El mito del fracaso español hace un recorrido, desde los años 80 del pasado siglo hasta hoy, por la simbología patria, los discursos sobre el pasado imperial, la obsesión por la decadencia, el debate de «las dos Españas», los discursos de odio a lo español o la crisis del régimen del 78. Un libro esclarecedor sobre cómo las interpretaciones de nuestro pasado, nos gusten o no, siguen ejerciendo una poderosa influencia en el modo en que los españoles nos percibimos, cómo entendemos la política o la capacidad para resolver nuestros problemas en tiempos líquidos.
