RAYMOND CARR "SPAIN 1808-1975"
The most read book on the issue , produced in Oxford UK 1966 (very first edition).
Is it possible to say that the book trascends the history of Spain , becoming a
magnific example of historiography.
Today you will not find this kind of things because passion has been replaced by
burocracy , both in universities (publish or perish) and in life in general.
