Intervista ad Alberto Gil Novales

Abstract

The interview with Alberto Gil Novales traces in detail the personal and intellectual journey of the great Spanish historian, from his first steps as a young student till these last years of rich scientific harvest. We get a glimpse of how it was possible for a smart young man grown up in Franco’s Spain to develop a clear moral vision of liberty and intellectual honesty, obtaining his knowledge through many different channels, and finally reaching his current personal prestige and standing.
