DOWNLOAD EBOOKA book about life in Spain from the succession of Philip II (1556) to the death of Philip IV (1665). The author relies primarily upon careful use of literary works and travel accounts written during this 'golden age'. In addition to delightful descriptions and anecdotes, he has woven into his text important political and economic developments. He provides a general view of Spain, stressing the importance of the Catholic faith and the emphasis upon personal honour, before surveying life and society in urban and rural areas. He then examines in some detail life in the Church, university, military and home; public entertainment; and the picaresque life.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"This book covers the historical, literary, and artistic grandeur of Spain during its Golden Age (1492-1659), a period marked by conquest and Catholicism, austere classical architecture and the exuberance of the Baroque, the writings of Cervantes, the paintings of Zurbaran, Murillo, and El Greco, and culminating in a blaze of glory with the paintings of Diego Velazquez." "In this volume, Joan Sureck, the renowned Catalan art historian and museum director, places the painting, sculpture, and architecture of the Golden Age in a cultural, historical, and aesthetic context and sheds new light on some of the most celebrated works of the period. This is the first book in English to explore Golden Age paintings alongside architecture and sculpture to give a complete picture of the sumptuousness of the era. All of the artworks were specially photographed for this tribute."--BOOK JACKET.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Gastronomical Arts in Spain includes essays that span from the medieval to the contemporary world, providing a taste of the many ways in which the art of gastronomy developed in Spain over time. This collection encompasses a series of cultural objects and a number of interests, ranging from medicine to science, from meals to banquets, and from specific recipes to cookbooks. The contributors consider Spanish cuisine as presented in a variety of texts, including literature, medical and dietary prescriptions, historical documents, cookbooks, and periodicals. They draw on literary texts in their socio-historical context in order to explore concerns related to the production and consumption of food for reasons of hunger, sustenance, health, and even gluttony. Structured into three distinct "courses" that focus on the history of foodstuffs, food etiquette, and culinary fashion, The Gastronomical Arts in Spain brings together the many sights and sounds of the Spanish kitchen throughout the centuries.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEl gran hispanista Bartolomé Bennassar nos ofrece en este libro una imagen poco corriente de un período crucial de la historia de España. Hidalgos, santos, pícaros, bufones y reyes desfilan por un escenario donde coexisten ascetismo y placeres, orgullo aristocrático e ideales evangélicos. Un mundo teñido de sombras y contrastes, rebosante de audacia y de tensiones creadoras, capaz de dar a luz nuevas ideas y formas artísticas y literarias soberbias.
