Description
They Went to Portugal: A Traveller's Portrait In 1943, Rose Macaulay embarked on a journey to Portugal, seeking solace in the aftermath of personal loss. Her travels led her to gather the stories of many Britons who had ventured to Portugal over the centuries, in search of understanding why they were drawn to this enchanting land. From the 18th century, a diverse cast of characters has been captivated by Portugal's promise: pirate crusaders, ambassadors, clergymen, and entrepreneurs, each with their own motivations and experiences. Macaulay's engaging narrative brings these voices to life, weaving a rich tapestry of history and human experience. Through her astute eye and humour, Macaulay reveals the complexities and allures of Portugal, a country that has inspired some of the most notable writers of its time.
