El Padre Fidel vuelve a asombrarnos con la publicación de La inquietud del tiempo. Esta obra nos ofrece un relato detallado en el tiempo de la obra y presencia del Padre Varela en España mientras ejercía su responsabilidad como Diputado a las Cortes de 1821-23.

This book reconfigures the study of the origins of the Enlightenment in the Spanish Empire. Challenging dominant interpretations of the period, this book shows that early eighteenth-century Spanish authors turned to Enlightenment ideas to reinvent Spain’s role in the European balance of power. And while international law grew to provide a legal framework that could safeguard peace, Spanish officials, diplomats, and authors, hardened by the failure of Spanish diplomacy, sought instead to regulate international relations by drawing on investment, profit, and self-interest. The book shows, on the basis of new archival research, that the Diplomatic Enlightenment sought to turn the Spanish Empire into a space for closer political cooperation with other European and non-European states and empires.
