Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. The area of Hispania, this being the Roman name for the Iberian Peninsula and its provinces, had a great influence on the development of the history of Ancient Rome. In part this was because some of Rome's main emperors, such as Trajan or Hadrian, politicians, including Lucius Cornelius Balbus the first consul of the Republic born outside of Italy, writers and poets like Martial or Lucanus, and philosophers, like Seneca, came from the Iberian Peninsula. It was also a consequence of the enormous commercial flow that existed between the colony and the metropolis, and because some of the events that took place in Hispania deeply marked Rome. For this reason, many of the main protagonists of its history, at some point in their lives lived, and fought, in Hispania, including such individuals as Sulla, Pompey, Julius Caesar and Augustus, among many others. Iberia became a battleground between Rome and Carthage in the Second Punic War, followed by the endless bloody struggle against the Iberian and Celtic tribes that turned Hispania into a kind of Vietnam for the Romans. It was also the scene of bitter fighting during the Civil Wars that led to the end of the Republic and the beginning of the Empire, with the great battles between Julius Caesar and the sons of Pompey, as well as the final defeat of Quintus Sertorius who had held out in Spain for over a decade. There was also three years of struggle by the Emperor Augustus trying to quell the revolts of the Cantabrian tribes. Lastly, Spain, as with other parts of the Empire, had to battle the barbarian incursions. Those by the Mauri came from the south, while from the north poured the Goths. At first, they became foederati of the Romans, fighting for the Empire in exchange for land, but when Rome ended up collapsing, the Goths occupied the space of power left by the Romans. This, though, did not mean the disappearance of the Hispano-Romans, but rather that they began to collaborate with the new occupiers of Hispania, and their influence and legacy can still be felt today. This is seen not only through its language and culture, but also through a multitude of public works and an enormous amount of historical heritage that we can still enjoy. AUTHOR: Juan J. Herrero Gimenez was born in Barcelona in 1973. He studied History and Social Anthropology in Barcelona and at Brunel University in London. He also has an MFA in Media Communications. In recent years, he has combined his work as a film distributor with the publication of novels such as Kursk 1943 (2006) and Talavera 1809 (2009), and history books including Las Medallas de la Guerra de la Independencia (The Medals of the Peninsular War, 2022). In addition to collaborating on various historical publications, such as the magazine Despertaferro, he is also the founder of the blog Si vis pacem, para bellum, one of the most important blogs of military history in Spain. 16 b/w illustrations Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

Zustand: New. Hardback 256 pagesPublished Price £28 The Peninsular War has long been a focus of British historical scholarship, yet the Spanish contribution-fundamental to the eventual defeat of Napoleon's armies-has often been marginalised. This volume, written by a Spanish historian and translated into English for the first time, seeks to redress that imbalance. It does not minimise the Spanish Army's setbacks or catastrophic defeats, but examines them from a Spanish perspective, providing insight into the political, logistical, and military challenges faced when rebuilding national forces virtually from scratch.With the finest Spanish troops serving with the French in Denmark, Spain was initially poorly defended. Yet its citizens and newly raised armies resisted fiercely. The book explores both major engagements, such as Tudela, Ocaña, Bailà n, and the siege of Zaragoza, and lesser-known combats across the Peninsula. The resilience of the Spanish people-through urban defence, guerrilla actions, and persistent resistance-posed unprecedented challenges for Napoleon's marshals, establishing the term "guerrilla warfare" in the process.As the war progressed, Spanish forces grew capable of decisive victories, complementing the achievements of Sir Arthur Wellesley and his Anglo-Portuguese army. By presenting the Spanish viewpoint, this volume dismantles enduring myths and illuminates the indomitable spirit of a nation that never accepted the Napoleonic order. It offers British readers a long-overdue reassessment of Spain's pivotal role in the Peninsular War, providing a more nuanced understanding of the conflict. Book.…

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. The image of Sir Francis Drake calmly playing bowls on Plymouth Hoe despite the sighting of the Spanish Armada has been handed down as one of history's great examples of English insouciance. In reality, the English commander knew the wind and the tides precluded the English fleet from putting to sea at that time. It forms part of the story of what is considered one of England's greatest triumphs, but to the Spanish, even today the defeat of Duke of Medina Sidonia's fleet still sticks in their hearts as probably the most humiliating period in their history. At the mere mention of its name, they are outraged and vehemently affirm that the Armada was defeated by storms and bad weather, and not by the Royal Navy. For the first time in the English language, this pivotal battle is analysed by a Spaniard, drawing on contemporary Spanish accounts and more recent critical histories. The background to the conflict between Philip II and Elizabeth I the Anglo-Spanish War of 1585 to 1604 is explained as seen from the Spanish viewpoint and the main characters of the age, such as Alvaro de Bazan, Alexander Farnese and, of course, Drake and Hawkins, are shown in a somewhat different light to that usually presented to British readers. The Spanish Armada From The Spanish Perspective begins with a description of the Spanish navy, its origins and its composition, and an examination of the usual claim that it was, at that time, the finest in the world. The Spanish dominance of the western Mediterranean and of the Atlantic is explained and the great galleons of the era and their capabilities are described. The organization of the Armada, and its composition is detailed, as are the seven fleets into which it was divided. Its ships and commanders are explored, especially its commander-in-chief, the Duke of Medina-Sidonia, a man who had little knowledge of the sea. All this is a prelude to the launching of the Armada and the dramatic voyage to England. The battle or, more precisely, the five battles that took place at Plymouth on 31 July 1588, at Portland Blind on 2 August, the Isle of Wright on 3 and 4 August, and the last battle at Brulotes (Calais) on 7 August form the main focus of the book. Equally intriguing is the account of the gruelling return journey made by the surviving ships from the battles, across the coasts of Scotland and Ireland, where bad weather eventually destroyed many of the ships and of the large number of the sailors who managed to swim ashore who were killed on reaching land. The fate of many of these prisoners is highlighted. The book also lists the main Spanish commanders who died during the battles and the return voyage, individuals such as Juan Martinez de Recalde and Miguel de Oquendo. Finally, the consequences of the campaign are considered from the Spanish viewpoint. Did Spain manage to recover quickly from the terrible losses suffered? Did England take advantage of the weak position in which the Spanish navy was left? Maybe a truly balanced perspective of the defeat of the Spanish Armada can now be realised as, at last, we can also truly see it from the Spanish perspective. AUTHOR: Juan J.

Las figuras de Jesús y del Inquisidor de Dostoievski representan dos maneras diferentes de entender la religión: una, que cuestiona, inquieta y obliga a estar alerta; la otra que consuela y protege a cambio de la sumisión. ¿Son dos tareas complementarias o incompatibles? El pan nos remite a la justicia, pero ¿puede haber pan sin libertad y viceversa? La III Cátedra Santo Tomás vuelve de nuevo con preguntas que deben interesar a una sociedad que no tenga miedo a la libertad, ni se escude en fáciles consuelos. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
