Download or read book The Story of Spain Briefly Told written by Mary Platt Parmele. This book was released on 2015-06-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Spain Briefly Told In presenting this book to the public the author can only reiterate what she has already said in works of a similar kind: that she has tried to exclude the mass of confusing details which often make the reading of history a dreary task; and to keep closely to those facts which are vital to the unfolding of the narrative. This is done under a strong conviction that the essential facts in history are those which reveal and explain the development of a nation, rather than the incidents, more or less entertaining, which have attended such development. And also under another conviction: that a little, thoroughly comprehended, is better than much imperfectly remembered and understood.
