Spain has a rich history, which accommodated the Carthaginian colonies, the invasion of Rome, the death of the seemingly indestructible Roman Empire, and the invasion of the Arabs, who owned the Iberian Peninsula for several centuries. Later there was the Reconquista, the discovery of America, the Spanish colonial empire, "overthrow from the heights of power," endless wars and troubles, along with the highest cultural take-off; the dictatorship of Franco and getting rid of the dictator... All this together created the Spain that we know today and to which the book of Juan Lalaguna is dedicated.
