Reid, Michael / Escritor
This book is an incisive account of modern Spain, from the death of Franco to the Catalan referendum and beyond.
From Catalan separatism and the indignados movement to the Spanish economyÂ’s overdependence on tourism and small business, SpainÂ’s challenges can often seem unique. But Reid is careful to emphasize the many pressures it faces in common with its European neighbours
- Written for the general reader, in ReidÂ’s elegant and easily flowing prose.
- Author combines journalistic reportage with rigorous analysis – drawing on interviews with many of the key players and his wide reading of Spanish sources
- A penetrating yet rounded portrait of a vibrant country, one that is more often visited than understood.
