Spain Av Jan Morris

<p><i>Spain is one of the absolutes. Nothing is more compelling than the drama, at once dark and dazzling, of that theatre over the hills - the vast splendour of the Spanish landscape, the intensity of Spain's pride and misery, the adventurous glory of a history that set its seal upon half the world . . .<br><br></i>Passionate, evocative and beautifully written, <i>Spain </i>is a companion to the country: its people, its history - and its character. First published in 1964 and no less compelling today, Jan Morris's classic work is back in print, bringing Spain, its glory and its tragedy, vividly to life. <br><br> Jan Morris's collection of travel writing and reportage spans over five decades and includes such titles as <i>Venice, Coronation Everest, Hong Kong, Spain, Manhattan '45, A Writer's World</i> and the <i>Pax Britannica Trilogy.</i> <i>Hav</i>, her novel, was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and the Arthur C. Clarke Award.<br><br> 'The most evocative book ever written about Spain.' <i>Independent</i></p>
