Description
|
|
|
|
A master chronicler of the African-American experience, Richard Wright brilliantly expanded his literary horizons with Pagan Spain, originally published in 1957. Francisco Franco's Spain in the mid-20th century was not the romantic locale of song and story, but a place of tragic beauty and dangerous contradictions. The portrait Wright offers is a blistering, powerful, yet scrupulously honest depiction of a land and people in turmoil, caught in the strangling dual grip of cruel dictatorship and what Wright saw as an undercurrent of primitive faith. It offers a pointed and still-relevant commentary on the grave human dangers of oppression and governmental corruption.
