The essay «The New Spaniards», by John Hooper, published by Penguin Books in paperback (496 pages, in English), analyzes contemporary Spain.
The book portrays the real Spain that emerged after Franco's death and moves away from political chronicle to focus on society: living conditions, housing, gambling, crime, changing customs, the role of women, bullfighting, socialism and regional autonomy. It also devotes attention to what the author calls «the cult of excess».
Second revised and expanded edition of The Spaniards (1987), with some 100,000 words of additional material; the work won the Allen Lane Award.
For anyone wanting to know the real Spain beyond coastal tourism: academics, journalists and travelers interested in its society and history.
