Spain
Spain | Jan Morris
3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Spain is one of the absolutes. Nothing is more compelling than the drama, at once dark and dazzling, of that theatre over the hills - the vast splendour of the Spanish landscape, the intensity of Spain'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 - and its character. First published in 1964 and no less compelling today, Jan Morris's classic work is back in print, bringing Spain, its glory and its tragedy, vividly to life. Jan Morris's collection of travel writing and reportage spans over five decades and includes such titles as Venice, Coronation Everest, Hong Kong, Spain, Manhattan '45, A Writer's World and the Pax Britannica Trilogy. Hav, her novel, was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and the Arthur C. Clarke Award. 'The most evocative book ever written about Spain.' Independent

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I've been wanting to read The Labyrinth of the Spirits by Carlos Ruiz Zafón for about 2 or 3 years now. That is what I'm reading. It's a chunkster. It might be the only book I read in May. 🤣 2w
emz711 @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick it's incredible. And made me want to go back to the shadow of the wind. I also think I immediately started the labyrinth over as soon as I was done 2w
emz711 @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick crz is exactly who I thought for this post! 2w
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @emz711 I've really enjoyed everything I've read by him, but it took me a week or two to realize he is exactly who to choose! ??‍♀️I think my mind thought "Barcelona" but didn't make the connection that it's in Spain right away! ? 2w

Interesting, full of the colours and contradictions of Spain, in Jan Morris' usual lucid prose. I love her idiosyncratic style: she gives you a sense of the history guided by her own curiosities. She wears her (significant) knowledge lightly and elevates travel writing to a lyrical narrative, filled with personal anecdotes. Recommended.
