Por este libro pasan aproximadamente unos trescientos personajes. Sin duda son muchísimos más los que han pasado por el histórico Café Gijón del Paseo Recoletos. Pero no todos tienen méritos suficientes para aparecer en este relato memorial del autor que es, probablemente, arbitrario y a merced de los designios no siempre objetivos ni neutrales del mismo. Para pertenecer a la tribu del Gijón hay que haber sido un bohemio cuando todavía existía la bohemia, tener detrás a la policía o, por lo menos, a la dueña de la pensión en que habitabas y que no veía la forma de cobrar. Y estar más nutrido de vino, libros y tiempo ocioso, que de buenos alimentos. Haber amado hasta la extenuación y ser amado hasta el límite. Y haber participado en querellas de amor y en incruentas, aunque malvadas, reyertas literarias. Imprescindible un vislumbre de gloria, aunque sin demasiadas expectativas. Con estas exigencias, la condición de gijonero queda necesariamente restringida. El término "canalla" no es estricto y tiene más de muchedumbre y ternura que de maldad, es decir, participa de la grandeza y las miserias de la picaresca española. Este libro es, sobre todo, generoso; pese a lo cual, a algunos se les podría advertir: temblad, temblad malditos.

Since the seventeenth century, the café, or coffee house, in Europe has been the key gathering place of innovators and mavericks – the writers, artists, philosophers and political figures who formed influential affiliations and gave birth to revolutionary movements that still affect our lives today. It was the type of establishment ideally suited for this role. Unlike the tavern, pub or bar, where one’s senses grow ever duller from alcohol, one can sit for hours in a café with like-minded companions, consuming the coffee that sharpens wits and conversations. No wonder so many new ideas were generated in the legendary cafés of Paris and Vienna, Rome and Venice, Prague, Budapest and other major European cities. In her latest book, Monica Porter leads the reader on an entertaining waltz through six centuries, nine European countries (plus America) and a wealth of historic episodes featuring some of the most intriguing and noteworthy people who ever lived. As she reveals, playing its vital part in all their stories – at times in the background, at times front and centre – is that enticing venue: the café. The twelve venerable establishments of the book’s title – the oldest dating from 1686, the newest from 1911 – are all still in existence. And so, after learning about their fascinating historical associations, readers can experience these places for themselves, which makes the volume an ideal companion for history buffs, travellers and café-lovers alike.

Barcelona and Real Madrid: two of the most powerful and popular clubs in world football, and one of the world's most bitter sporting rivalries. Going far beyond the boundaries of just sport alone, this is a rivalry at the heart of Spanish life, taking in politics and culture and splitting a country in two. El Clásico gets to the heart of that rivalry, investigating the intrigue, the larger-than-life characters, the key flashpoints and their consequences. From civil war bloodshed to 40 years of fascism and links with General Franco, the clubs' shared history is the stuff of a Robert Harris novel and includes: murdered presidents from both clubs, player kidnappings, acts of hooliganism - and that's before you start thinking of the volatile football matches themselves. The book contains numerous interviews with key figures such as Luís Figo and Hristo Stoichkov (two of the main hate figures from both clubs), Joan Laporta (Barcelona's most successful president and, having entered politics, Catalonian separatism's poster boy) and various ex-players, ex-managers, agents, referees, hooligans, editors, historians, sociologists, filmmakers, novelists, photographers, TV presenters and celebrity fans. The two clubs are packed with international superstar players - including the world's two best players in Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo - and 10 of the starting 11 players from Spain's 2010 World Cup final victory play with either Barcelona or Real Madrid. This is a story with resonance around the sporting world, with many instantly recognisable figures to an international audience such as Jose Mourinho. But it is also a tale of a country divided by a bitter rivalry.

Bringing together the work of top specialists and emerging scholars in the field, this volume is the first book-length study of the rapport between liberalism and the Spanish monarchy over the long nineteenth century in any language. It is at once a general overview and a set of original contributions to knowledge. The essays discuss monarchy’s rapport with the pre-liberal, liberal and post-liberal nation-state, from the eve of the French Revolution, when the monarchy regulated a ‘natural’ order, to the unstable reign of Isabel II, fraught by revolutions that ended in her exile, to the brief republican monarchy of Amadeo I, the much-maligned foreign king, to Alfonso XIII’s expulsion from Spain following the failure of the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera. The essays approach the subject through two main thematic-analytical axes. The first, political axis examines the monarchy’s confrontation with, and adaptation to, liberalism as a political force that aimed to nationalize the Spanish people. The second axis is cultural, and studies the Crown’s support of liberalism’s nationalizing aims through various staging strategies that comprised visits, rituals, ceremonies, iconography, religiosity, and familial and military display. The dual approach invites the reader to question the boundaries between the political and the cultural, especially in regard to the ceremonial, and during critical times that witness the transformation of political power and the building of the nation-state. Designed for Hispanists and students of politics, ritual, liberalism and monarchy, this collection should appeal to academics and researchers as well as anyone interested in modern European history.

Capitalism in its modern form has become universal and has a presence in practically every country in the world, including those which once called themselves Communist. This book studies its effects on different labor markets, from those linked to highly tertiary economies (EU-27, USA and Japan, to the most productive economies, such as China, and on to economic models that are in full transition from secondary to tertiary economies, as is the case in several Latin American countries.

Cervantes: Camina e inventa no es sólo un recorrido por la obra literaria de nuestro más insigne escritor, Miguel de Cervantes, sino también el reflejo de la sociedad de la España de finales del siglo XVI y principios del siglo XVII a través de la mirada escrutadora y crítica de quien la describe. Viajero incansable, lector impenitente, vida y literatura se entrelazan de manera decisiva en la obra de Miguel para dibujarnos con precisión escenas de la vida cotidiana. Madrid, La Mancha, Andalucía, Valencia o Extremadura, son parte del escenario vital y recogen seguramente muchas de sus experiencias más emocionantes; Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria, Vizcaya y, tal vez, Cataluña, se explican desde los tópicos culturales de la época. Y todas ellas componen un mosaico que representa al detalle el escenario y las gentes de la España áurea. De la corte y las grandes ciudades a las ventas y los caminos polvorientos; de los reyes y príncipes más lejanos, de los hijos de la nobleza más influyente, a la impagable presencia de mercaderes, pícaros, yangüenses, moriscos, cautivos fingidos, mujeres vestidas de hombres, campesinos, Cervantes resume minuciosamente una vida plagada de sobresaltos y contratiempos, una vida de la que nunca se dio por vencido.
