Por primera vez un volumen reúne la historia de España escrita por Arturo Pérez-Reverte durante más de cuatro años en su columna «Patente de corso» del XL Semanal.

Un relato ameno, personal, a ratos irónico, pero siempre único, de nuestra accidentada historia a través de los siglos. Una obra concebida por el autor para, en palabras suyas, «divertirme, releer y disfrutar; un pretexto para mirar atrás desde los tiempos remotos hasta el presente, reflexionar un poco sobre ello y contarlo por escrito de una manera poco ortodoxa.»

A lo largo de los 91 capítulos más el epílogo de los que consta el libro, Arturo Pérez-Reverte narra los principales acontecimientos ocurridos desde los orígenes de nuestra historia y hasta el final de la Transición con una mirada subjetiva, construida con las dosis exactas de lecturas, experiencia y sentido común. «La misma mirada con que escribo novelas y artículos -dice el autor-; no la elegí yo, sino que es resultado de todas esas cosas: la visión, ácida más a menudo que dulce, de quien, como dice un personaje de una de mis novelas, sabe que ser lúcido en España aparejó siempre mucha amargura, mucha soledad y mucha desesperanza.».- Arturo Pérez-Reverte

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

For the first time, one volume gathers the history of Spain as written by Arturo Pérez-Reverte over the course of more than four years in his "Patente de corso" ("Carte Blanche") column for XL Semanal.

An entertaining, personal, and sometimes ironic but always unique tale of Spain's turbulent history throughout the centuries. A work conceptualized by the author to, in his words, "entertain me, re-read and enjoy; a pretext for looking back through time from the very beginning until the present, reflecting a little about it, and telling it in writing in an unorthodox way."

Throughout the 91 chapters plus the epilogue of the book, Arturo Pérez-Reverte narrates the main events from Spain's origin and up through the end of the Transition with a subjective view, made up of precise measures of reading, experience, and common sense. "The same view with which I write novels and articles," says the author, "... I didn't choose it myself; it's the result of all those things: as one of my novel's characters says it, it's the vision, harsh yet frequently sweet, of someone who knows that being lucid in Spain has always entailed bitterness, loneliness, and despair." -Arturo Pérez-Reverte

Been using these for a while. these bars are body wash in a bar. perfect for those who do not care for the hassle of luffas and dispensing body wash cream, etc. I grew up drying out my skin using Bars of Soap. These are the perfect answer.

I love this soap. It smells good and your skin comes out really moist and smooth. The bars don’t last as long as I like them too, but that’s OK
