Paperback. Zustand: Good. Exploring the creation of the El Cid legend over the centuries, this masterful and evocative biography peels away the layers of myth to reveal the real-life historical figure. El Cid was perhaps the most famous warrior involved in the indiscriminate fighting--irrespective of religion--on the Iberian Peninsula during the eleventh century. In the centuries after his death, he was transformed into a perfect Christian knight. In modernity, he was seen as the incarnation of Spain's special national character--Franco chose El Cid as the emblem of Nationalist Spain. Yet not only those on the political right, but many others, including academics and those on the political left, were in his thrall. He has been promoted both as the forerunner of white supremacists and of multiculturalism. How can we explain such a stupendous afterlife, and how can El Cid be a hero for so many different people? To begin to understand that, we must try to understand the truth buried beneath the myth. Nora Berend explores the creation of the legends over the centuries and reveals those active in its making. Medieval monks, the women in El Cid's family, a playwright, and a historian are among the creators of the mythic Cid. This riveting narrative seeks to explain their motives, and in so doing peels away the layers of legend to evoke the real-life historical figure.…

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Esta biografía magistral desnuda las capas del mito para revelar la figura histórica real. El Cid fue quizá el guerrero más famoso de las luchas que tuvieron lugar en la Península Ibérica durante el siglo XI. Rodrigo Díaz vivió una vida muy agitada: líder militar ambicioso, exiliado y mercenario brutal, sirvió a reyes cristianos, luchó contra príncipes cristianos al servicio de gobernantes musulmanes, asaltó y mató musulmanes y, finalmente, se independizó, forjando un principado independiente. Nora Berend explora en este libro la creación de la leyenda a lo largo de los siglos y desvela quiénes participaron activamente en su elaboración. Monjes medievales, las mujeres de la familia del Cid, un dramaturgo y un historiador son algunos de los creadores del mítico Cid. Esta fascinante narración trata de explicar sus motivos y, al hacerlo, desvela las capas de la leyenda para evocar la figura histórica real ¿Cómo un hombre que luchaba indiscriminadamente contra musulmanes y cristianos pudo ser descrito, aún en vida, como un salvador cristiano enviado por Dios? *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
