«Ghosts of Spain: Travels Through a Country's Hidden Past» is the historical and travel essay by Giles Tremlett, published by Faber And Faber in paperback.
Journalist Giles Tremlett travels through Spain and its history to understand why Spaniards remained silent for decades about the horrors of the Civil War and Franco's dictatorship. The book addresses the so-called pact of forgetting and its open wounds: mass graves, ETA terrorism, Catalan independence movement, and Andalusian past, with portraits of the Spanish character.
The work has 496 pages and is written in English. This 2012 edition adds a chapter updating the content up to the 2011 elections.
For readers interested in Spain's recent history, the Civil War, historical memory, and travel journalism.
Giles E.H. Tremlett is a historian, author and journalist based in Madrid, Spain.
