James A. Michener
À propos de cet audio
“Massive, beautiful . . . unquestionably some of the best writing on Spain [and] the best that Mr. Michener has ever done on any subject.”—The Wall Street Journal
Spain is an immemorial land like no other, one that James A. Michener, the Pulitzer Prize–winning author and celebrated citizen of the world, came to love as his own. Iberia is Michener’s enduring nonfiction tribute to his cherished second home. In the fresh and vivid prose that is his trademark, he not only reveals the celebrated history of bullfighters and warrior kings, painters and processions, cathedrals and olive orchards, he also shares the intimate, often hidden country he came to know, where the congeniality of living souls is thrust against the dark weight of history. Wild, contradictory, passionately beautiful, this is Spain as experienced by a master writer.

Not a historical work
While this is described as a serious work of historical commentary in the summary, the author's bias towards misogynism, racism and ecomonic/religious imperialism taints an otherwise well-crafted narrative of personal anecdotes mixed with references to historical context (regardless of the tainted viewpoints of the author). One only needs to hear the valuations of entire nationalities of women based on their appearance and weight or the argument that Spanish conquistadors have an undeservedly poor reputation because too many modern people wrongly consider the indigenous inhabitants of South America prior to 1500 as being technologically advanced enough not to deserve genocide to understand this bias. Reads more like a work from the 18th century than the 20th, and provides more insight into the pseudoacademic dilettantism of the author and his peers than the actual subject matter.
