The lion and the eagle

Sinopse

"The connections between German and Spanish culture over the centuries are as interesting and as myriad as they are often overlooked. The Lion and the Eagle is the first comprehensive collection of studies to probe this rich and complex cross-fertilization, from medieval times to the present. Representing a variety of disciplines, the twenty-one essays of this volume explore the numerous ways in which the two linguistic and cultural groups have shared and transformed each other's literature and art, politics and history."--BOOK JACKET.
