Book excerpt: A veces, ni una vida hace imposible el amor eterno. El juego de tres es un relato que trata del amor intrascendente y del que perdura a lo largo de la eternidad, escrito desde la perspectiva de tres jóvenes durante la Valencia gris del posfranquismo. Es un texto duro, muy crudo, que nos transporta a un momento de cambio entre la libertad y el exceso. A Ana, Toni y Miquel les une un nexo determinante: la buena suerte y también la facilidad para escoger opciones, sin temor a que las consecuencias se vuelvan en su contra. Sus vidas transcurren en plenitud, desde el acomodamiento, gracias a la excelente posición de sus familias. A cambio, estos tienen que participar en un rol impostado, a diferencia de otros de su edad que viven las mieles de un efervescente estallido de gozo irrefrenable -y que en algunos grupos se extrema hasta la anarquía-. La amistad entre ellos terminará por aislarlos de todo. Cuando paradójicamente la sociedad celebra la emancipación, ellos se imponen unas normas. ¿Una de ellas? Prohibido enamorarse.

A People Betrayed A History of Corruption Political Incompetence and Social Division in Modern Spain
Download or read book A People Betrayed A History of Corruption Political Incompetence and Social Division in Modern Spain written by Paul Preston and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowhere does the ceaseless struggle to maintain democracy in the face of political corruption come more alive than in Paul Preston’s magisterial history of modern Spain. The culmination of a half-century of historical investigation, A People Betrayed is not only a definitive history of modern Spain but also a compelling narrative that becomes a lens for understanding the challenges that virtually all democracies have faced in the modern world. Whereas so many twentieth-century Spanish histories begin with Franco and the devastating Civil War, Paul Preston’s magisterial work begins in the late nineteenth century with Spain’s collapse as a global power, especially reflected in its humiliating defeat in 1898 at the hands of the United States and its loss of colonial territory. This loss hung over Spain in the early years of the twentieth century, its agrarian economic base standing in stark contrast to the emergence of England, Germany, and France as industrial powers. Looking back to the years prior to 1923, Preston demonstrates how electoral corruption infiltrated almost every sector of Spanish life, thus excluding the masses from organized politics and giving them a bitter choice between apathetic acceptance of a decrepit government or violent revolution. So ineffective was the Republic—which had been launched in 1873—that it paved the way for a military coup and dictatorship, led by Miguel Primo de Rivera in 1923, exacerbating widespread profiteering and fraud. When Rivera was forced to resign in 1930, his fall brought forth a succession of feeble governments, stoking rancorous tensions that culminated in the tragic Spanish Civil War. With astonishing detail, Preston describes the ravages that rent Spain in half between 1936 and 1939. Tracing the frightening rise of Francisco Franco, Preston recounts how Franco grew into Spain’s most powerful military leader during the Civil War and how, after the war, he became a fascistic dictator who not only terrorized the Spanish population through systematic oppression and murder but also enriched corrupt officials who profited from severe economic plunder of Spain’s working class. The dictatorship lasted through World War II—during which Spain sided with Mussolini and Hitler—and only ended decades later, in 1975, when Franco’s death was followed by a painful yet bloodless transition to republican democracy. Yet, as Preston reveals, corruption and political incompetence continued to have a corrosive effect on social cohesion into the twenty-first century, as economic crises, Catalan independence struggles, and financial scandals persist in dividing the country. Filled with vivid portraits of politicians and army officers, revolutionaries and reformers, and written in the “absorbing” (Economist) style for which Preston is so revered, A People Betrayed is the first historical work to examine the continuities of political unrest and national anxiety in Spain up until the present, providing a chilling reminder of just how fragile democracy remains in the twenty-first century.
