«Castilla como agonía, Castilla como esperanza» is the historical essay by Andrés Sorel, published by Ámbito in paperback (140 pages, in Spanish).
The book addresses the dual image of Castile as a land marked by decline and suffering («agonía») and, at the same time, as a symbol of future and optimism («esperanza»). Through this contrast, Andrés Sorel reflects on the economic and social conditions of the region, its identity and its historical evolution.
Published in 1985 in Valladolid, the book is part of the collection «Ámbito Castilla y León» (no. 27).
A read for those interested in the history of Castile and León and in essays on identity and regional evolution.
