Tres mil a�os de historia en el rinc�n m�s luminoso del Mediterr�neo
Antes de que existiera Alicante, ya hab�a gente aqu�. Cazadores del Paleol�tico que dejaron sus huellas en las rocas del interior, agricultores neol�ticos que transformaron el paisaje, �beros que construyeron ciudades sobre los promontorios y comerciaban con los mercaderes fenicios y griegos que cruzaban el Mediterr�neo cargados de cer�mica, vino y alfabetos. La historia de Alicante no comienza con la conquista cristiana del siglo XIII ni con los romanos que llamaron a este lugar Lucentum, la ciudad de la luz. Comienza mucho antes, en el tiempo en que el ser humano lleg� por primera vez a estas costas y comprendi�, quiz�s de manera intuitiva, que el mar que se extend�a ante �l no era un l�mite sino un camino.
Breve historia de Alicante: La ciudad que mira al Mediterr�neo es un viaje apasionante a trav�s de tres milenios de historia que convierte en narrativa viva lo que los libros acad�micos a veces reducen a fechas y datos. Aqu� encontrar�s a los mercaderes fenicios que trajeron el alfabeto a estas costas, a los ingenieros �rabes que transformaron el paisaje �rido con sus acequias, a los conquistadores medievales que negociaron la rendici�n de Al-Laqant, a los mercaderes alicantinos que colocaron la uva pasa en las mesas del norte de Europa, a los republicanos que esperaron en el puerto el �ltimo barco de la libertad.
Descubre en este libro:
La fascinante historia de Lucentum, la ciudad romana que dio nombre a Alicante, con su puerto activo y su vida cotidiana entre el foro y las termas. La civilizaci�n andalus� que transform� el paisaje �rido con acequias y cultivos que todav�a hoy definen la identidad agr�cola del territorio. La conquista cristiana y la construcci�n de la ciudad medieval en torno al Castillo de Santa B�rbara. El esplendor comercial bajomedieval, cuando la uva pasa alicantina llegaba a los mercados de Flandes e Inglaterra. Las guerras y los bombardeos que marcaron los siglos XVII y XVIII. El liberalismo apasionado de una ciudad que defendi� la democracia en las guerras carlistas y en la Segunda Rep�blica. La tragedia del puerto en marzo de 1939 y el �ltimo barco, el Stanbrook, que evacu� a miles de republicanos hacia el exilio. La transformaci�n vertiginosa del litoral por el turismo de masas. Y los retos del siglo XXI: el cambio clim�tico, la identidad valenciana, la diversidad y la b�squeda de un futuro sostenible.
Escrito con el rigor del historiador y la fluidez del narrador, este libro est� pensado para el lector curioso que quiere entender la ciudad que visita o en la que vive con la profundidad que merece. Sin jerga acad�mica, sin listas de fechas, sin dramatizaciones ficticias: solo historia real, bien contada y apasionante de principio a fin.
Breve historia de Alicante no es simplemente la historia de una ciudad: es la historia del Mediterr�neo en miniatura, la historia de Europa a trav�s del prisma de un rinc�n luminoso que lo ha visto todo y que todav�a sigue mirando al horizonte con los ojos abiertos.
