Portugal: A Companion History (Aspects of Portugal S.)

by Jose Hermano Saraiva (Author)

• Used

  Paperback
  1997

  $4.14

  Professor Saraiva's multi-volume History of Portugal is a celebrated
  scholarly standard work. Yet, when he published a one-volume Historia
  Concisa, it proved a run-away best seller in Portugal, and the television
  series that went with it became a chart-topper. His latest book, produced
  especially for Carcanet's Aspects of Portugal series, is a history of his
  country, brief, acute and illuminating, written with scholarly insight and
  with non-specialist foreign readers specifically in mind.
  To this main text Ian Robertson, author of the well-known Blue
  Guide to Portugal, has added a historical gazeteer, brief biographies,
  chronological tables, maps and other elements which make this an essential
  Companion, the sort of book that a reader in need of accurate, brief and
  lucid reference will find useful, and every visitor to Portugal will find
  rewarding.
  The book is generously illustrated.
