Description

Gerald Brenan's South from Granada is a vivid account of his time in a remote Spanish village between 1920 and 1934. The book is a rich tapestry of landscapes, festivals, folk-lore, and the daily lives of the villagers, offering a unique glimpse into the Spain of the past. Brenan's writing is knowledgeable, elegant, and sympathetic, as he portrays the rivalries, romances, and courtship rituals, village customs, superstitions, and characters of the Sierra Nevada region. The book also features visits from notable friends, including those from the Bloomsbury group. A fascinating and insightful work, South from Granada is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history and culture of southern Spain.
