A Traveller's History of Spain (Interlink Traveller's Histories)

This book only mentions the Inquisition. I though it might merit a chapter.

The one i purchased was a used book wich fell apart as i read it. I was not worth it the travel folks that recommended it must not have read it.mor historical orientated not a good travel document

Tedious read

A word of caution: this book is not in any way a pleasure to read. I tried several times to slug through it but maybe got as far page 60-something. I don't want to dwell on how scattered this book was. I'm still looking for that great book about Spanish history - or at least a comfortable overview. As for the title, "A Traveller's History of Spain" who is the traveller, is it supposed to be the 'reader' or the 'author'? If it is the latter, it must have been a book meant for him because I couldn't follow along. This book is arduous.

I'm surprised to see the poor reviews this book has received here. I picked up a copy at a secondhand bookstore and it has served me well as a short overview of the history of Spain. I don't think it is tedious, though I grant it is not the most gripping history book I have read... if you are interested in the subject, it should be just fine, and it is not overly long.Word of caution... Despite the series being called 'Traveller's History', these books do not contain detailed advice for travellers... Best to treat it as a concise history of the country.
