«Manuel Godoy: la aventura del poder» is the historical biography by Emilio La Parra, published by Tusquets Editores in 2002 in paperback (584 pages, in Spanish).
Biography that revisits the figure of Manuel Godoy (Badajoz, 1767 – Paris, 1851), traditionally singled out as one of the most disastrous rulers in the history of Spain. The author reconstructs his spectacular rise from an obscure provincial hidalgo to favorite of Charles IV and Maria Luisa of Parma, and his fall from grace. The work provides unpublished data on the reign of Charles IV and the genesis of the War of Independence, based on archives and an exhaustive bibliography.
Belongs to the Tiempo de Memoria collection (number 20). Includes bibliographic references and index, and the foreword is by the academic Carlos Seco Serrano.
Recommended for readers interested in historical biographies and in Spain in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
