Download or read book Impressions of Spain written by Albert Frederick Calvert and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-17 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THERE is a character in current drama who devoted his whole life to the writing of a book. He called it a "pamphlet," because he had intended it to be a pamphlet when he started on his task, but in its completed state the work filled three mighty folio volumes. Although the present volume has not attained such gargantuan proportions, it is considerably longer than I had thought to make it. It is not put forward as an exhaustive or profound study of Spain and the Spaniards, but as a simple record of impressions of people I have met and places I have visited during a series of many journeyings in different parts of that greatly interesting and much misunderstood country. These impressions were meant, in the beginning, to form a small collection of sketches and appreciations; and, although the number has increased beyond the limits of my original intentions, the design and scope of the book have not been revised or amplified. The result of this desultory system of working is a string of disconnected chapters-the first fruits of fugitive note-book jottings collected over a period of several years-rather than a concentrated and comprehensive survey of the subject as a whole.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Truth About Spain MY interest in Spain and her affairs began years ago, when roving fancy led me to take a long holiday, and circumstances shortly afterwards brought me into close friendship with an eminent Spanish scholar, who has been the judicious and disinterested guide of my studies. It was not long before I was drawn into a serious examination of Iberia's political and social problems, and contact with reformers and publicists of various schools of thought, added to exceptional opportunities for acquainting myself with the periodical literature of the country, only served to confirm my early impressions.

I am convinced that it is only by a succession of visits at intervals that an unfamiliar country, of such marked and strong character as Spain possesses, can be comprehended; it is necessary to meditate over one's impressions at leisure, to start afresh, again and again, with some old prejudice re moved, and a clearer vision of the essential facts; during a single visit, however lengthy, this is difficult to effect.

What befell me on this vacation jaunt is no story of harrowing adventure, nor yet a record of the acquisition of new facts. But as I covered a thousand miles of the Iberian peninsula on foot, twice that distance Iby third-class rail, and am given to mingling with the masses, it may be that there have filtered into the following pages some facts and impressions that will be new to the reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spain in Profile: A Summer Among the Olives and Aloes There is a class of readers whom the unscien tific traveler would gladly reach and interest, the light Skimmers of summer books between whom and distant countries lie, - not one, but many seas, and whose only hope, in all probabil ity, of seeing them is through the more favored eyes of others. For these - not for those who have personally 'undertaken the adventure of Spain this volume is specially written, a se ries of profiles projected more or less vaguely by a Spanish sun. The author feels his errors of omission and of commission quite as keenly as the most hostile critic could desire, and would hesitate to publish his sketches at all for more they do not profess to be - if. The general im pression pervading them were unfavorable to the Spaniards. Much has doubtless been over looked, much inadequately seen but the book is in no sense a guide-book, and wherever it hasbeen possible, details such as are found in guide books are left to those compilations. The reali ties of landscape, the mode of life and Of travel, the aspect of the old Spanish cities, the habits of the people, the vicissitudes of a summer journey set down just as they appeared, form the staple of these pages. Personal impressions may, per adventure, have a sort of value 5 and if this slight record, which pretends to nothing beyond being a faithful transcription of personal impressions, should awaken the interest of a single reader and persuade him to study a most interesting country for himself, its aim will be more than accom plished.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From Spain in 1856 and 1857 The only apology which the author can seriously make for adding one to the multitude of slight books on Spain is, that, having some practice in this kind of writing, and habits of labour to which the exercise was congenial, he has been able, in the daily course of travelling, to fix while they were recent, and to throw promptly into narrative and description, the impressions made upon his mind by new scenes and new manners, in a land teeming with beauty and still rich in originality: the images have been given before they were obscured by time, or confused with ideas subse quently acquired: and if this has been done with apparent truth and with some freshness of effect, the work may have a feature which will entitle it to be looked at among the crowd.
