As suggested by another reviewer, this book is a little gem. Set out in chronological order, It provides easily readable coverage of the most important aspects and events of Portugal's history, including limited coverage of the overseas empire. What makes this stand apart from most 'Noddy's outing to the history of country X' books is the inclusion of 14 or 15 maps together with up to a page or so of explanatory text for each. These are really informative and could actually be read in isolation to get the basic gist of the history of the country since ancient times. There are plenty of photos too. On the down side, some of the legends etc on the maps are hard to read being of a very small font size. I'd love to see historians of other countries adopt a similar format. Highly recommended. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Professor Saraiva's multi-volume History of Portugal is a celebrated scholarly standard work. Yet, when he published a one-volume Historia Concisa, it proved a run-away best seller in Portugal, and the television series that went with it became a chart-topper. His latest book, produced especially for Carcanet's Aspects of Portugal series, is a history of his country, brief, acute and illuminating, written with scholarly insight and with non-specialist foreign readers specifically in mind. To this main text Ian Robertson, author of the well-known Blue Guide to Portugal, has added a historical gazeteer, brief biographies, chronological tables, maps and other elements which make this an essential Companion, the sort of book that a reader in need of accurate, brief and lucid reference will find useful, and every visitor to Portugal will find rewarding. The book is generously illustrated. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Esta História Concisa de Portugal, traduzida em várias línguas, é a mais bem-sucedida das suas obras em livro, e, com ela, o autor procurou dar resposta aos muitos pedidos que, ao longo dos anos, foi recebendo para indicar uma «história de Portugal» abreviada, um livro «que não demorasse muito tempo a ler, mas desse uma imagem global da evolução histórica do povo português», que não contivesse «mais do que o essencial», mas não se ficasse pelo veiculado de forma elementar pelos manuais escolares. Foi esse livro que procurou escrever e que, por apresentar a história de Portugal de forma apaixonada e apaixonante, continua ainda hoje a ser procurado, lido e relido.
