El Imperio español

The Spanish empire was one of the greatest European political creations. Conceived in the early sixteenth century, it lasted three hundred years in continental America and almost another seventy in the Caribbean and the Philippines. Hugh Thomas, in the style that has earned him so many readers, undertakes a complete study of the genesis of this empire, showing us the exploits of the first two generations of explorers, colonizers, governors and missionaries who opened the way to the American empire of Spain. From the fall of Granada to the journey of Magellan, through the discovery of Columbus or the coronation of Charles V, Hugh Thomas embarks on the epic narrative of one of humanity's greatest adventures.
