The Moriscos

This book traces the fate of the Moriscos, descendants of the Muslim population of Al-Andalus who, following the fall of Granada in 1492, were forced to convert to Christianity and live between two identities. In an atmosphere of distrust and religious control, reinforced by the Spanish Inquisition, they faced increasing marginalization, culminating in rebellion and their eventual expulsion under the reign of Philip III.

Drawing on contemporary sources, the publication presents the Moriscos as active agents in shaping their own history and analyzes the broader impact of their forced departure on the society of early modern Spain.

Sofía Casanova

This publication presents the life and work of Sofía Casanova, a Spanish writer and one of Europe's first female war correspondents. As a long-time resident of Poland, she provided the newspaper ABC with first-hand accounts of events in both Tsarist and revolutionary Russia.

The book combines a biographical study with a selection of her reports in Czech translation, emphasizing her unique position as an observer situated between East and West. It also highlights her distinctive journalistic style, which captures the everyday experience of war, revolution, and the social upheavals of the first half of the twentieth century.

Ancient Peoples and Languages of the Iberian Peninsula

This publication offers an overview of the earliest ethnic and linguistic strata of the Iberian Peninsula from prehistory to early antiquity, with particular emphasis on pre-Indo-European populations such as the Iberians and the Tartessians, as well as later Celtic and mixed groups. It traces the development and interactions of languages attested in epigraphic evidence, including Iberian, Tartessian, and Basque as a unique surviving language isolate, situating them within the broader context of Mediterranean cultural influences.

The book integrates linguistic analysis with archaeological and historical sources, providing a comprehensive perspective on the linguistic and cultural diversity of the region prior to the onset of Romanization.
