La historia de España, sin bandos y sin complejos. Un viaje riguroso y divertido para entender quiénes somos a través de nuestro pasado.
España no surgió de la nada: es el rico fruto de tres mil años de mestizaje, conflictos, pactos y reinvenciones. Por aquà han pasado fenicios fascinados por una tierra de conejos, romanos que hicieron de Hispania una región imprescindible para los cesares, visigodos diestros en traiciones e intrigas palaciegas, musulmanes que levantaron ciudades deslumbrantes, reyes que forjaron el imperio más extenso del mundo y guerras civiles que dejaron profundas cicatrices. El historiador Francisco Javier Osuna emprende un fascinante viaje a través de los episodios decisivos que forjaron nuestra identidad. Con rigor, humor y pasión, convierte la historia de España en una herramienta indispensable para comprender nuestro presente sin complejos, dogmas ni trincheras. «España no es solo una idea polÃtica ni una suma de territorios. Es más bien un equilibrio inestable de muchas cosas: tradición y cambio, centro y periferia, orgullo y autocrÃtica, pasado y presente. Y ese equilibrio nunca termina de fijarse del todo, siempre está en revisión. Llevando la contraria a Ortega y Gasset, quien defendÃa aquello de 'España es el problema, Europa la solución', España es el origen de todos sus problemas... Pero también la solución para todos ellos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The history of Spain without taking sides or ideological baggage. A thorough and entertaining journey to understand who we are through our past.
Spain did not emerge out of nowhere: it is the rich fruit of three thousand years of cultural mixing, conflicts, alliances, and reinventions. This land has been home to Phoenicians fascinated by a land of rabbits, Romans who made Hispania an indispensable region for the Caesars, Visigoths skilled in betrayal and palace intrigues, Muslims who built dazzling cities, kings who forged the world's largest empire, and civil wars that left deep scars. Historian Francisco Javier Osuna embarks on a fascinating journey through the decisive episodes that shaped our identity. With rigor, humor, and passion, he transforms the history of Spain into an indispensable tool for understanding our present without hang-ups, dogmas, or entrenched positions. Spain is not merely a political idea or a sum of territories. It is rather an unstable balance of many things: tradition and change, center and periphery, pride and self-criticism, past and present. And that balance is never fully set; it is always under review. Contrary to Ortega y Gasset, who argued that 'Spain is the problem, Europe the solution, ' Spain is the source of all its problems... But it is also the solution to all of them.
