This book in Castilian, published by the Basque Government, is aimed at a young audience and summarizes in a schematic way the highlights of the Olympic evolution. Thus, it contains a review of Pierre de Coubertin, explains the origin of the Games, and describes the highlights of the Summer Olympic Games (Athens 1896 - Seul 1988) and the Winter Olympic Games (Chamonix 1924 - Calgary 1988). It looks ahead to the Barcelona 1992 Summer Games and the Albertville 1992, Lillehammer 1994 and Nagano 1998 Winter Games. Finally, it also talks about the Olympic Movement and its emblems and lists the Olympic medals won by Spain between 1900 and 1988. Distinctively, in relation to other similar editions, it includes a list of Basque athletes who have participated in the Games from Athens 1906 to Albertville 1992.
