«Por qué soy monárquico: Una historia familiar» is the historical essay by Sergio Vila-Sanjuán, published by Editorial Ariel in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
Vila-Sanjuán links his family's memory —convinced monarchists— with four generations of monarchs, from Alfonso XIII to Felipe VI, and covers 20th- and 21st-century Spain. He argues his defense of the monarchy on objective, subjective and family grounds, stresses its link with culture and presents it as a guarantor of unity and stability.
Published in Barcelona on October 29, 2020. The author, a journalist, won the 2020 National Prize for Cultural Journalism.
For readers of recent Spanish history interested in the debate on the monarchy and its current role.
