Greece from antiquity to the present day

We usually know more about ancient Greece than modern: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle among others, are more familiar to us than Venizelos, Papandreu, Costa-Gavras or Tsipras. This book, in tight and very accomplished synthesis, addresses the history of this unique country, stopping in politics, culture, idiosyncrasies and even gastronomy.

Grecia, nación antigua y Estado moderno que no ha cumplido todavía dos siglos de existencia, “país pobre de gente menos pobre” y de millonarios armadores, de profunda religiosidad ortodoxa, en permanente conflicto en el seno de las tensiones balcánicas y Turquía, aparece aquí fielmente reflejado.
