South From Granada (Penguin Travel Library) [Idioma Inglés] - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Gerald Brenan is generally regarded as the greatest of English writers about Spain. ‘South from Granada’ describes the essence of a remote rural area before the Civil War with vivid sympathy. Here, brought back to life, are the festivals and folk-lore of the Sierra Nevada, the rivalries, romances and courtship rituals, the village customs, superstitions and characters. Equally compelling are chapters on Granada in the twenties, food and the Phoenicians, the cheap brothels and archaeological remains of Almeria, the stark but haunting mountain scenery and even a visit from Virginia Woolf. The result was acclaimed on publication as a masterpiece; it remains a classic, richly evocative account of a lost way of life.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
