Soccer in Spain

Soccer has the unique ability to represent and strengthen different cultural identities and ideologies throughout the world. Perhaps nowhere can this be seen more prominently than in Spain, which has surged to the forefront of the world’s most popular sport. The national team has won the last two European Championships and the 2010 World Cup, while the two preeminent club teams in Spain, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, have reached the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League in 2011, 2012, and 2013. Even before the sport became a global phenomenon, soccer had established a strong connection with Spanish identity and culture. In Soccer in Spain: Politics, Literature, and Film, Timothy J. Asht...

Le grandi dinastie della storia

È tramontata l'epoca di re e imperatori, ma non quella delle grandi dinastie: le "case regnanti" della nostra epoca sono i Grimaldi di Monaco, ma soprattutto si chiamano Agnelli, Rockfeller, Hilton, Kennedy, Chaplin, Onassis, Gucci... Protagonisti dell'economia, finanziaria o industriale, della politica, della moda, dello spettacolo e dell'arte, i loro membri sono attori di vicende che fanno piangere o sognare. Sempre al centro di vortici di denaro, potere, fascino, genio, scandali e tragedie. Come si sono create, spesso partendo dal niente, le grandi fortune delle famiglie più in vista del nostro tempo, dai Versace ai Trump, ai Bush? Questo volume racconta i protagonisti di un secolo di gossip da un'ottica rigorosamente storica, offrendo al lettore una serie di intriganti biografie dei membri delle venticinque famiglie più influenti del XX secolo che, tutte assieme, dipingono il ritratto in chiaroscuro di un'intera epoca.

Los Medinaceli

El ducado de Medinaceli es uno de los más antiguos de España. Fue creado en 1479 por los Reyes Católicos y sus descendientes, a lo largo de más de quinientos años, lo han mantenido y engrandecido con palacios tan emblemáticos como el Hospital de Tavera en Toledo o la Casa de Pilatos en Sevilla.

Sin embargo, el siglo xx estuvo lleno de vicisitudes para este linaje. El XVII duque, Luis Jesús Fernández de Córdoba, se casó dos veces y a su muerte dividió para siempre el patrimonio familiar. Su hija, Victoria Eugenia (1917-2013), Mimi, la XVIII duquesa, coetánea de Cayetana de Alba, vivió con gran discreción, pero tuvo que hacer frente a los escándalos de su hijo el duque de Feria, casado con la modelo Naty Abascal y padre de Rafael y Luis Medina. Y, hoy en día, la herencia ducal está en juicio entre el duque de Segorbe, hijo de Mimi, y Victoria de Hohenlohe, su bisnieta y actual duquesa.

La periodista María Eugenia Yagüe, gran conocedora de esta aristocrática familia, desgrana en estas amenas páginas todos los entresijos de una de las sagas más aristocráticas.
