Los comienzos del siglo XVIII español estuvieron marcados por un duro conflicto, la Guerra de Sucesión, cuyo desenlace significó la aparición de un nuevo estado, al hilo del carácter de guerra civil que la lucha adquirió ante la opción borbónica de Castilla y austríaca de Aragón.

Is it possible to create an enjoyable and mysterious history of literature?

Was Berbiguier harassed by imps? Maybe Jules Verne did belong to a secret society. Have any works been inspired by dreams—or by insanity?...
