Description
"Spain is Different" was the slogan used by the Spanish tourist industry to celebrate the country's special identity, its culture and its people. This special identity has fascinated generations of writers, from Ernest Hemingway and James Michener to V.S. Pritchett, Laurie Lee and Jan Morris. Yet today's Spain, an emancipated and paid-up member of the European Union, is often different from the country they wrote about. This book explores the similarities and differences between Spaniards and other nationalities, with particular reference to recent history and the contemporary scene. The book concludes with a series of typical dilemmas and solutions, and a glossary of everyday words and expressions.
