Story
Un país es su historia y este audiolibro resulta de una ayuda inestimable para conocerla. Por sus páginas desfilan romanos y cristianos, árabes e iberos, austrias y borbones... Nos topamos con invasiones, guerras y revoluciones, pero también con fecundas etapas de hegemonía, paz y prosperidad. Todo un recorrido desde las primeras culturas asentadas en la península ibérica hasta su desembocadura en el franquismo y la actual Democracia. Un camino lleno de aciertos y fracasos, de momentos de gloria y clamorosos desatinos.

Story
Ochenta años después de la Guerra Civil, los comunistas de Iglesias volvían al Gobierno de la mano de los socialistas de Sánchez. Y, a la vez, se desataba la catástrofe del Covid19, que dotó al Gobierno de poderes especiales y permitió a Podemos afianzarse y desarrollar iniciativas desastrosas, desde el mantenimiento del 8M que dispara los contagios, hasta sus planes ecologistas contra el turismo y los automóviles o las subidas fiscales generalizadas.

Los hechos que se cuentan en este audiolibro no son desconocidos. Pero, en muchos casos, sí han sido olvidados, silenciados o deformados. Todo nuestro pasado padece desde hace mucho tiempo la lacra de la manipulación y la vergüenza. Y no hay que arrepentirse de la huella que España ha dejado en la Historia, al revés, nuestros antepasados hicieron cosas maravillosas que cambiaron el devenir del mundo. Esta es la herencia que nos dejaron y a la que no deberíamos renunciar.

El hombre se llamaba Martín Garret Ortiz y era un joven ingeniero de minas español. Todo empezó para él ese mismo día, cuando desde su hotel oyó un primer disparo lejano. Salió a la calle para ver qué ocurría y a partir de ese momento su vida cambió para siempre.

Por primera vez un volumen reúne la historia de España escrita por Arturo Pérez-Reverte durante más de cuatro años en su columna «Patente de corso» del XL Semanal. Un relato ameno, personal, a ratos irónico, pero siempre único, de nuestra accidentada historia a través de los siglos. Una obra concebida por el autor para, en palabras suyas, «divertirme, releer y disfrutar; un pretexto para mirar atrás desde los tiempos remotos hasta el presente, reflexionar un poco sobre ello y contarlo por escrito de una manera poco ortodoxa.»

En este volumen podemos entender qué tienen en común los imperios y las leyendas negras que irremediablemente van unidas a ellos, cómo surgen creadas por intelectuales ligados a poderes locales y cómo los mismos imperios la asumen. El orgullo, la hybris, la envidia no son ajenos a la dinámica imperial. La autora se ocupa de la imperiofobia en los casos de Roma, los Estados Unidos y Rusia para analizar con más profundidad y mejor perspectiva el Imperio español.

Publisher's summary
El mejor Esparza regresa al ensayo histórico para recuperar y contarnos nuestra historia, que no es otra que la de aquellos que, antes de nosotros, construyeron este país. La historia de España es inmensamente rica. Su lenguaje, su cultura y sus gentes son universales. En este libro, José Javier Esparza hace un recorrido completo y épico por ella para viajar a través de todas las épocas y conocer sus grandes personajes y acontecimientos. Desde Atapuerca hasta la democracia actual, pasando por Hispania, los visigodos, la conquista musulmuna y la Reconquista, América, los Siglos de Oro, la Guerra de Independencia o el turbulento siglo XX, esta impresionante obra de síntesis está destinada a convertirse en un referente.
«Te voy a contar tu historia está escrito para interpelar al español que mira alrededor y quiere saber quién es y por qué está aquí. Y para que, sabiendo todo eso, llegue a la conclusión de que España merece sobrevivir. Ese es, en realidad, el reto fundamental de nuestro tiempo». JOSÉ JAVIER ESPARZA

The history of the Boston Tea Party is a hidden one. Why? Since it was a clandestine operation, all sorts of rumors and legends grew up around the event—many collected decades after the American Revolution had ended. At its core, however, the night of December 16, 1773, when colonials dumped tea from British ships into Boston Harbor, was more than a fight over tea and taxes. It was a struggle over the very nature of democracy and self-governance.
