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. They don't avoid showing their awe or their disgust. They're resolutely opinionated and unabashedly judgmental. In other words, their perspective makes the book. In spite of all that, someone reading these narratives today ... Read more

Don Fernando

by W. Somerset Maugham ...

Considered by Graham Greene to be Maugham's best work, Don Fernando is a paean to a golden age of enormous creative energy. It discusses the writings of St. Teresa and the paintings of El Greco, and comments with sagacity and wit on such illustrious figures as Cervantes, Velazquez and the creator of Don Juan. This vibrant assessment of a great people at their greatest hour is full of happy ... Read more

Spanish Travels, Volume 2

by L. Higgin, Nathaniel Armstrong Wells, W. D. Howells ...

A lot of the value in nineteenth-century travel writing lies in the unapologetic point of view. This collection illustrates its value as a historical resource, too, with three charmingly lopsided sociological snapshots of Spain in the mid 1800's and at the turn of the 20th century.

Northern Spain

by Edgar Thomas Ainger Wigram ...

Pamplona stands in the centre of an amphitheatre of mountains, rising out of the level arena on a sort of daïs covered with walls and spires. It is the chief of the northern frontier fortresses; but its bastions date mostly from the days of Vauban, and its strength (from a modern military standpoint) must depend on the forts which cap the neighbouring hills. The cathedral is an interesting ... Read more
