{"product_id":"9780313360800","title":"Culture And Customs Of Spain","description":"\u003cp\u003eModern Spain is a revelation in this up-to-date overview. Stanton vibrantly describes the startling variety of landscape, people, and culture that make up Spain today. Included are a context chapter and others on religion, customs, media, cinema, literature, performing arts, and visual arts. Students of Spanish and a general audience will be rewarded with engrossing insights into what writer Ernest Hemingway called the very best country of all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpain is a modern European nation, yet Spaniards are fiercely tied to their individual towns and regions—with their distinct social customs, dialects or languages, foods, landscape, and lifestyles—more than to a united country. \u003ci\u003eCulture and Customs of Spain\u003c\/i\u003e conveys the extremes, such as the hard-working Catalan contrasted to the leisurely paced Castilian, coexisting in first and third world conditions, and the love\/hate relationship with the Catholic Church. Spain's institutions are described, and its contributions to the world—from unparalleled literature and cuisine to flamenco and filmmaker Pedro Almodovar—are celebrated. A chronology and glossary complement the text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ABC-Clio, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47019858493680,"sku":"9780313360800","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780313360800_p0.jpg?v=1769888524","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780313360800","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
