A Short History of Spain

Literature

Pyrrhus Press specializes in bringing books long out of date back to life, allowing today\u2019s readers access to yesterday\u2019s treasures. This is a short history that covers Spain from prehistoric times to the 19th century. From the preface: \u201cIn presenting this book to the public the author can only reiterate what she has already said in works of a similar kind: that she has tried to exclude the mass of confusing details which often make the reading of history a dreary task; and to keep closely to those facts which are vital to the unfolding of the narrative. This is done under a strong conviction that the essential facts in history are those which reveal and explain the development of a nation, rather than the incidents, more or less entertaining, which have attended such development. And also under another conviction: that a little, thoroughly comprehended, is better than much imperfectly remembered and understood.\u201d
