«Mentiras históricas comúnmente creídas» is the historical essay by José Luis Vila-San-Juan, published by Planeta in paperback (279 pages, in Spanish).
The author examines twenty-five widespread falsehoods and, drawing on documentary sources, explains why they do not withstand rigorous analysis. Among the cases covered: the death of Cleopatra, the innocence of Lucrezia Borgia, the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the First Spanish Republic.
Originally published in 1992, it is volume 1 of the Memoria de la Historia collection and includes bibliographic references and an index.
A read for history enthusiasts who want to see how widespread beliefs, usually accepted without question, are debunked.
