Spanish Travels, Volume 1

by John Hay, W. Somerset Maugham ...

I've always been a fan of nineteenth-century travel narratives in English. They make comparisons that reveal more about England or the US than they do about the country visited.

In spite of all that, someone reading these narratives today ... Read more
