{"product_id":"the-portuguese-barry-hatton-9781566568449","title":"The Portuguese: A Modern History","description":"Portugal is an established member of the European Union, one of the founders of the euro currency and a founding member of NATO. Yet it is an inconspicuous and largely overlooked country on the continent's southwest rim. Barry Hatton shines a light on this enigmatic corner of Europe by blending historical analysis with entertaining personal anecdotes. He describes the idiosyncrasies that make the Portuguese unique and surveys the eventful path that brought them to where they are today. Portugal, which claims Europe's oldest fixed borders, measures just 561 by 218 kilometers. Within that space, however, it offers a patchwork of widely differing and beautiful landscapes. With an easygoing and seductive lifestyle expressed most fully in their love of food, the Portuguese also have an anarchical streak evident in many facets of contemporary life. A veteran journalist and commentator on Portugal, the author gives a thorough overview of his adopted country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barry Hatton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1566568447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781566568449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Interlink Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/30\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2011 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/30\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2011 pg. 30","brand":"Barry Hatton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051360973055,"sku":"9781566568449","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_404296b8-65cf-4d70-b13d-a33ce766a552.jpg?v=1685012632","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-portuguese-barry-hatton-9781566568449","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
