Paul's grandson, Dr Otto Brandt, visits his Aunt Alexandra in Spain where continual massacres erupt into civil war. Otto becomes entangled in the uprising led by General Prim against Spain's corrupt and incompetent government. The Spanish Queen Isabella flees to her French protectors. But France is eying an ever-strengthening German Federation with concern. If a member of the Prussian royal family accepts the vacant Spanish throne, the government of Napoleon III will react with hostility. General Prim sends Otto to Berlin via Paris. Worse, Bismarck sends him back along the same route. As the French economy totters war becomes inevitable. But Otto, a German, is trapped in Paris. Worse, he is trapped with thirty thousand other citizens of the German Federation. Elihu Washburne, the American Minister in Paris, works miracles. But where is Otto's sister?

THE ANGEL SCHEMES IN SPAIN. VOLUME FIVE OF THE BRANDT FAMILY CHRONICLES. European peace, finally won at Waterloo and settled by Castlereagh in 1815, has begun to fray. By 1868, France is near bankruptcy again. The government of Louis Napoleon III has spent fortunes beautifying and modernizing Paris. It has also built a massive network of canals and railways. The projects have bought employment, but they have not been set up as profitable businesses and debt has mounted. Taxes have been raised over and again and even the peasants are impoverished. History tells observers that the French government goes to war to refill its coffers whenever the need arises. Will they do it again? Dr. Otto Brandt, Paul's grandson, travels to southern Spain with his sister, Amelia (a scandal in the making her mother is certain) on a family visit to their Aunt Sasha. Typically for the Brandts, they find trouble and step into General Prim's rebellion to overthrow the despotic Queen Isabella II. As a doctor, Otto is invited to join the rebel force. As an apprentice strumpet, Amelia follows Colonel De Torres, a rebel officer. Victorious and established in Madrid, Prim enlists Otto's aid and exposes him to the risks that spies must take. On his travels between Berlin, Paris and Madrid, Otto encounters the beautiful American agent Eleanor, but co-operation remains elusive. The international situation disintegrates as the French economy folds over. The Paris government casts possessive eyes over the vacant Spanish throne, even as the Prussians debate accepting it and war between France and Prussia becomes inevitable. German-speaking residents of Paris are targeted for retribution by an over-excited population and Elihu Washburne, the American Minister in Paris runs an escape route for twenty thousand victims trapped in the city. The Franco-Prussian War builds out of a newspaper fuelled lust for battle and blind faith in two new super weapons, La Mitrailleuse and Le fusil Chassepot. Too many vested interests make a tangled knot, that Otto must not cut, because both Eleanor and Amelia are entwined in it. Where are they? There is no time to lose as Paris resorts to the rattle and crash of the glittering guillotine to thin the ranks of its enemies, both real and of opportunity. Here is drama, intrigue and excitement as history churns in all its beastliness and complexity. ABOUT THE BRANDT FAMILY CHRONICLES. The series, at the time of writing, comprises seven books ranging from the Napoleonic Wars (Vols 1-4), through The Franco-Prussian War (Vols 5,6), to the Cold War (Vol 7). They start when Germany was conceived and develop through its birth to modern times. (1950). The thread is the Brandt Family and their adventures. The environment is German history. History is written by the winner and, from ace to knave, it's a pack of lies. These books are not German history. They are a unique view of German history and the stories are told from this deserted and neglected standpoint. This, so-far, unilluminated emphasis discloses both a disguised truth and a hidden one. Germany is not the warmonger it has been painted and, as the series develops, readers' curiosity may be piqued into checking to see if they agree with the author's conclusions. ABOUT THE AUTHOR. Oliver Fairfax is a nomad. A Scot by birth, he has wandered from England to Hong Kong and back - twice. He has lived in France and now in New Zealand. He worries that a generation is rising who cannot tell the difference between a citizen and a subject. He is concerned about the pervasive growth of regulation that cannot be afforded, cannot be complied with, but that seeks to remove free choice. He worries also about political correctness and the suppression of dissonance being two policies that misinform ordinary people's decision-making processes. But those irritants aside, life's great! - and remember, you should never have joined if you can't take a joke.

The studies included in this selection - the opening two being published for the first time - are concerned with various aspects of the history of Christian Spain between the 6th century and the 14th. A recurrent theme is that of the invention of the past: of the manner in which, for reasons which have seemed good to them, at different times and places, from Toledo in the 1240s to Cambridge in the 1920s, men have sought to appropriate and recolonise that past. Three more technical articles on the subject of 13th-century papal diplomatic in a Spanish setting illustrate the related activity of the invention of the future as reflected in the activity of the agents or proctors and others whose services were retained in order to ensure that it was their employer's particular view of the present that prevailed. Les études comprises dans cette sélection, dont deux paraissent ici pour la première fois, traitent des différents aspects de l’histoire de l’Espagne chrétienne entre le 6e et le 14e siècle. Un thème fréquent est celui de l’invention du passé: la façon dont à différentes époques et à différents endroits, de Tolède en 1240 à Cambridge en 1920, et pour des raisons qui lui semblent être les bonnes, l’être humain s’est efforcé de s’approprier et de reconquérir le passé. Trois articles d’ordre plus techniques sur la diplomatique papale au 13e siècle dans un cadre espagnol, illustrent l’activité attenante qu’était l’invention de l’avenir, telle qu’elle se traduisait au travers de l’action d’agents, de fondés de pouvoir et autres, dont les services étaient requis afin que la vision du présent de leurs employeurs prévale.

A Choice Magazine Outstanding Academic Book Spanish American novels of the Boom period (1962-1967) attracted a world readership to Latin American literature, but Latin American writers had already been engaging in the modernist experiments of their North American and European counterparts since the turn of the twentieth century. Indeed, the desire to be "modern" is a constant preoccupation in twentieth-century Spanish American literature and thus a very useful lens through which to view the century's novels. In this pathfinding study, Raymond L. Williams offers the first complete analytical and critical overview of the Spanish American novel throughout the entire twentieth century. Using the desire to be modern as his organizing principle, he divides the century's novels into five periods and discusses the differing forms that "the modern" took in each era. For each period, Williams begins with a broad overview of many novels, literary contexts, and some cultural debates, followed by new readings of both canonical and significant non-canonical novels. A special feature of this book is its emphasis on women writers and other previously ignored and/or marginalized authors, including experimental and gay writers. Williams also clarifies the legacy of the Boom, the Postboom, and the Postmodern as he introduces new writers and new novelistic trends of the 1990s.
