Very good copy! - This biography of Philip II of Spain uses his personal papers to paint an intimate portrait of the individual who played an important part in shaping the modern world. The book describes Philip's inability to trust anyone, his obsessions with religion and magic, his family relations and more. Spanish America was to a large extent the creation of one man-Philip II of Spain, "The Most Potent Monarch of Christendome." Philip ruled a quarter of the world's population, including the Philippines (named after him), everything from Florida to the southern tip of Chile, and much of Europe, Philip is also noted for a great failure his ill-fated attempt to invade England with his Armada. Obsessively devoted to his faith, Philip could never trust anyone, and would not compromise with Protestants or Muslims. He watched with righteous delight the agonies of heretics burning at the stake. He had a tremendous capacity for hard, detailed administrative work, sometimes dealing with as many as four hun- dred documents a day. Yet he was almost equally dedicated to pleasure and the Arts. Philip was a connoisseur who relished Titian and Bosch, but was strangely blind to the genius on his doorstep: El Greco. remarkable biography, which has now become the definitive work on In this Philip, Geoffrey Parker was able to draw upon a vast, previously untapped collec tion of the king's private correspondence, in which he expressed his emotions, personal thoughts, and social philosophy, Professor Parker is able to give us the public events the Dutch revolt, the conquest of Portugal, the launching of the Armada-from Philip's personal point of view. Philip If has been translated into Spanish, Italian, Polish, and Dutch. ISBN 9780812692792Varia 1995, [PU: Open Court Publishing]<
