«Breve historia de España» is the historical essay by Fernando García de Cortázar and José Manuel González Vesga, published by Círculo de Lectores in paperback (624 pages, in Spanish).
This essay traces the history of Spain from its origins to the present day, combining major events and figures with the everyday lives of ordinary people. The authors argue that the country's historical trajectory is shaped not only by dates and proper names but also by anonymous individuals and their daily lives, in a narrative that aims to be engaging, clear and illuminating, far removed from the arid academic manual.
A work of historical synthesis that became a publishing success in Spanish historiography of the 1990s and was translated into several languages. This 1995 edition includes an index of names.
Recommended for readers seeking a global and accessible overview of the history of Spain without prior knowledge, and for students or the curious who prefer a popularising approach over a specialised treatise.
