\n The miraculous story of Madrid\u2014how a village became a great world city
\u00a0
For centuries Madrid was an insignificant settlement on the central Iberian plateau. Under its Muslim rulers the town was fortified and enlarged, but even after the Reconquista it remained secondary to nearby Toledo. But Madrid\u2019s fortunes dramatically shifted in the sixteenth century, becoming the centre of a vast global empire.
\u00a0
Luke Stegemann tells the surprising story of Madrid\u2019s flourishing, and its outsize influence across the world. From Cervantes and Quevedo to Vel\u00e1zquez and Goya, Spain\u2019s capital has been home to some of Europe\u2019s most influential artists and thinkers. It formed a vital link between Europe and the Americas and became a cauldron of political dissent\u2014not least during the Spanish Civil War, when the city was on the frontline in the fight against fascism.
\u00a0
Stegemann places Madrid and its people in global context, showing how the city\u2014fast overtaking Barcelona as a centre of international finance and cultural tourism\u2014has become a melting pot at the heart of Europe and the wider Hispanic world.
