Overview
La Historia es lo que se ha contado, y en la manera de contarlo ha intervenido, y sigue interviniendo, el resultado de un sinfín de circunstancias, desencuentros y enfrentamientos...
¿ES POSIBLE MANIPULAR EL PASADO?
Hispania, años 700-756. En un lugar próximo a Cangas de Onís, los astures que habitaban las montañas se enfrentaron a las tropas de al-Andalus. O, al menos, eso es lo que cuentan las crónicas cristianas... Pero ¿es posible que esta batalla nunca se librara?
José Luis Corral, catedrático de Historia Medieval y uno de los autores más queridos de la novela histórica, disecciona en estas páginas la verdad sobre lo que las fuentes documentales esconden y todo lo que revelan las leyendas cristianas y musulmanas.
Desde la crisis y caída del reino visigodo hasta la creación de al-Andalus y la posterior reconquista de Hispania, pasando por las continuas luchas de poder por el dominio de la Península, este libro es una invitación a revisar con mirada crítica nuestro pasado, el significado de los mitos y la manipulación histórico-política, consecuencia de que el relato siempre lo hayan controlado los vencedores.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
History is what has been told, and in the way it is told has intervened, and keeps intervening, the outcome of numerous circumstances, fallouts, and confrontations...
IS IT POSSIBLE TO MANIPULATE THE PAST?
Hispania, 700-756 AD. In a place next to Cangas de Onís, the Asturians that inhabit those mountains face the troops of al-Andalus. Or at least, that is what the Christian chroniclers said... But is it possible the battle never took place?
In these pages, José Luis Corral, professor of Medieval History and one of the most beloved authors of historical novel, dissects the truth in what primary sources hide and everything that Christian and Muslim legends reveal.
From the crisis and fall of the Visigoth kingdom, to the creation of al-Andalus and the later reconquest of Hispania, going through constant power struggles for the dominion of the Peninsula, this book is an invitation to revise, with critical eye, the past, the meaning of myths, and historico-political manipulations, consequence of the control the victorious have always had over the narrative.
