Description

|
|
|
Acclaimed British travel writer and novelist Norman Lewis here recalls the pilgrimage he and his brother-in-law Eugene Corvaja made through 1934 Spain to the Corvaja family crypt in Seville. As the country began to tear itself apart, Lewis and Corvaja found themselves traveling on foot, sleeping in caves, dodging bullets while seeking a café, and taking a detour through Portugal. The London Review of Books hailed this final work by Lewis for possessing a "genial, gently ironic tone and a marvelous eye for the odd and grotesque ... full of feeling, exact notation, delicious oddities and a love of the natural world."
