Kulturkontakt Krieg: Spanienbilder Deutschsprachiger Teilnehmer Am Spanischen Unabhangigkeitskrieg 1808-1814

By Katrin Brosicke

This book explores war as a special cultural contact zone, exemplified by ego-documents of German soldiers on the Iberian Peninsula during the Napoleonic era. While serving in the military, combat can be far away and soldiers encounter foreign countries differently. Such experiences were also made by German speaking members of the King's German Legion and the Napoleonic Armies. Their writings are not limited to the description of war actions; they also want to give people at home a special insight into Spain.
