New books, new perspectives on Spain
On Tuesday, October 27, 2026, the city library of Regensburg invites you to a literary-scientific book presentation in the reading room of the Thon-Dittmer-Palais. Under the title New about Spain, the Research Center Spain of the University of Regensburg presents current publications and thereby opens a multifaceted view of the history, culture, and societal debates of the Iberian Peninsula on the eve of the Spanish film and culture festival cinEScultura.
Literature as a gateway to Spain
The event combines book presentation, research, and cultural discourse. The focus is on new publications that do not consider Spain merely as a travel backdrop, but illuminate historical experiences, political tensions, and cultural developments in their respective contexts.
A controversial film and its historical traces
The presentation begins with a volume about a controversially discussed German film that was shot in Andalusia in the 1950s with a prominent cast and addresses the Legion Condor. The presentation draws attention to the relationship between film history, culture of remembrance, and political interpretation. This connection makes the book presentation interesting for everyone who is concerned with Spain, German-Spanish relations, and the critical examination of media images.
Current research in the city library
In addition to this volume, further research on Spain and its culture will be discussed. The reading atmosphere of the reading room creates a concentrated setting for this: books, scientific classification, and personal encounters engage in immediate exchange. The literary experience arises here from proximity to language, to the themes, and to the people behind the publications.
Who should attend the book presentation?
The event is aimed at literature enthusiasts, Spain lovers, students, and anyone who wants to get to know current non-fiction books and cultural science perspectives. The format offers suggestions for personal reading and simultaneously opens an informed access to historical and cultural narratives about Spain.
Conclusion
New about Spain promises an informed author and book encounter with literary quality, scientific expertise, and a clear reference to Spanish cultural history. Those who want to discover new books and understand Spain beyond familiar clichés will experience an inspiring evening of literature, research, and culture of remembrance on October 27, 2026, in Regensburg.
