«Los mitos de la historia de España» is the historical essay by Fernando García de Cortázar, published by Planeta in hardcover (367 pages, in Spanish).
The historian reviews the clichés that have shaped the image of Spain: inquisitorial Spain and its decline, clerical Castile versus modern Catalonia, the land of the Cid and Don Quixote. He separates documented reality from legend and analyzes the role of literature, painting and collective memory in the construction of national myths.
This fifth edition belongs to the Planeta Historia y Sociedad collection and includes color plates.
A popular essay for those who want to learn about the history of Spain beyond the clichés, both enthusiasts and students.
Fernando García de Cortázar y Ruiz de Aguirre was a Spanish Jesuit priest and historian.
