Spain

No Customer Reviews

Spain is one of the absolutes. Nothing is more compelling than the drama, at once dark and dazzling, of that theatre over the hills â€“ the vast splendour of the Spanish landscape, the intensity of Spainâ€™s pride and misery, the adventurous glory of a history that set its seal upon half the world . . .Passionate, evocative and beautifully written, Spain is a companion to the country: its people, its history â€“ and its character. First published in 1964 and no less compelling today, Jan Morrisâ€™s classic work is back in print, bringing Spain, its glory and its tragedy, vividly to life.

Spain

SPAIN by Jan Morris When I first read Jan Morris's Spain I had visited that country five times. Knowing her keen eye and passionate prose I expected a rare experience. I was not disappointed. I liken her writing to an impressionist painting. When gazing at a Monet or a Renoir one experiences the almost physical reality of the paintings on ones soul. So it is with the magic conjured by Morris in Spain. For those who...

This book, first written forty years ago and re-released in 1988, is a lyrical work that focuses much on the soul and spirit of Spain and her people, as well as on the history and geography that are so much a part of that soul and spirit. It's...
