Voces de España is an unique history of Spain in the 20th
century, told through the voices of the figures who defined the era. Introduced
by former Puerta del Sol host Iñaki Gabilondo, Voces de España
is narrated by leading Spanish journalists who trace the main events of the
past 100 years of a fascinating and complex nation.
The history of the century unfolds on three one-hour compact discs-all in
Spanish-and includes vintage recordings of such notables as Miguel Primo de
Rivera, Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, General Francisco Franco, and Adolfo
Suárez. You also hear King Juan Carlos, Nobel laureate Camilo José Cela, champion
cyclist Miguel Induráin, former president José María Aznar, writer Ana María
Matute, and tenor Alfredo Kraus, among others, as well as dramatizations of
key events and music of each era. The companion softbound book provides a
word-for-word transcript of the audio, with an extensive Spanish-English glossary
opposite each page of text. Brief notes give additional information on the
people and events covered in the program. Numerous original photographs illustrate
the text, and an index provides easy reference.
The immediacy of the audio and the rich annotation of the book make Voces
de España a publication that no student of Hispanic culture and the Spanish
language should be without.
