In Ghosts of Spain, the Guardian journalist Giles Tremlett travels through contemporary Spain examining the darker sides of its history.
Giles Tremlett is the Guardian's Madrid correspondent. He has lived in Spain - and written extensively about the country and its people - almost continuously since graduating from Oxford University thirty years ago. His books include Ghosts of Spain, described as a 'brilliant evocation of Spain ... vivid and sensitive' (Spectator) and Catherine of Aragon, which BBC History Magazine called 'Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand Spain.'
Tremlett's work will bring many who think we know Spain to confront what we have hesitated to acknowledge even to ourselves. -- Matthew Parris Tremlett writes with humour, modesty and a great affection for his subject -- Miranda France Daily Telegraph 20060319 a transfixing, elegantly written account of Spain today -- Siobhan Murphy Metro 20060322 An excellent and readable book for anyone interested in Spain, or even looking for superior Costa holiday reading. -- Christopher Frew Scotland on Sunday 20060326 Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand Spain. -- Sarah Williams BBC History Magazine 20060401 A feast of a book Irish Times
