Sobre este artículo
Penguin Books, 1990 8vo (20 cm), 423 pp. Laminated wrappers (canceled stamp of an institutional library on the title). A brilliant study of the sudden rise of a barren and isolated country to be the greatest power on earth, and of its equally sudden decline.
Sinopsis
Since its first publication, J. H. Elliott's classic chronicle has become established as the most comprehensive, balanced, and accessible account of the dramatic rise and fall of imperial Spain. Now with a new preface by the author, this brilliant study unveils how a barren, impoverished, and isolated country became the greatest power on earth—and just as quickly fell into decline. At its greatest Spain was a master of Europe: its government was respected, its armies were feared, and its conquistadores carved out a vast empire. Yet this splendid power was rapidly to lose its impetus and creative dynamism. How did this happen in such a short space of time? Taking in rebellions, religious conflict and financial disaster, Elliott's masterly social and economic analysis studies the various factors that precipitated the end of an empire.
