{"product_id":"9780313360800","title":"Culture and Customs of Spain (Culture and Customs of Europe)","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. Spain 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. Culture and Customs of Spain 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","brand":"Greenwood Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45377497464911,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":873.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/9174\/2287\/files\/9780313360800-1.jpg?v=1780189410","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9780313360800","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
