About This Item
New York: Farrar, Straus and Cudahy, 1957. Cloth, xiv, 282 pages; 21 cm. Topstained black. Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Age toning. Dust jacket, with light shelfwear, protected in a mylar cover. "Between 1920 and 1934, Gerald Brenan lived in the remote Spanish village of Yegen and South of Granada depicts his time there, vividly evoking the essence of his rural surroundings and the Spanish way of life before the Civil War. Here he portrays the landscapes, festivals and folk-lore of the Sierra Nevada, the rivalries, romances and courtship rituals, village customs, superstitions and characters. Fascinating details emerge, from cheap brothels to archaeological remains, along with visits from Brenan's friends from the Bloomsbury group - Lytton Strachey and Virginia Woolf among them. Knowledgeable, elegant and sympathetic, this is a rich account of Spain's vanished past." - Publisher.. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo.
