Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poor Folk in Spain We saw a Perez very much polished up by so many years of war. He wore a clean straw hat, new Clothes of the latest cut, a waistcoat of check with ornamental buttons, patent leather boots with a lacquer which flung back the rays of the June sun, and heavy owlish eyeglasses Of tortoiseshell fastened with a broad black ribbon. Indeed, SO transformed was he, that it was he who recognized us; and for some moments we stood trying to pierce through the new respectability, as though it were through a disguise.

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Poor Folk in Spain: Look inside the book: But what would have been magic and miracle to Charlemagne remains in one's mind as a jumble—the interior of a second-class carriage; antimacassars; an adolescent who ate lusciously a basket of peaches, thereby reminding us that French peaches ripen early in June; intrusive knees and superfluous legs; an obese man who pinched my knee in his sleep, probably from habit; touches of indigestion which made one fidget, and in the dawn a little excitement roused by observing the turpentine tapping operations at work on the pine-trees by the side of the railroad—cemented together by the thick atmosphere of a summer's night enclosed between shut windows. ...In our railway travelling to-day, either nothing happens or there is a railway accident; but we have turned so many corners in our lives which led to the mere blankness of more empty road, that the possibility of the lion has almost faded from our minds—and so the sense of adventure in little, the true sense of adventure, is in danger of atrophy. ...Jan was arranging about our trunk and a hold-all; I had in my charge two thermos flasks, a camera, two rucksacks—memories of days in the German Tyrol before the war—and a suit-case which had been with us in Serbia and which still bore the faint traces of a painted red cross, but the cat had for the last two years been sharpening her claws upon it and the leather now looked something like 'Teddy Bear' material.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legends Romances of Spain I have made an earnest endeavour to provide English readers with a conspectus of Spanish romantic literature as expressed in its cantares de gesta, its chivalric novels; its romanceros or ballads, and some of its lighter aspects. The reader will find full accounts and summaries of all the more important works under each of these heads, many of which have never before been described in English. If the perusal of this book leads to the more general study of the noble and useful Castilian tongue on the part of but a handful of those who read it, its making will have been justified. The real brilliance and beauty of these tales lie behind the curtains of a language unknown to most British people, and can only be liberated by the spell of study. This book contains merely the poor shadows and reflected wonders of screened and hidden marvels. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spain and Her People Unfortunately, Spain is not a modern country; her glory is in the past, and she lives and prides herself in her past traditions, as though her glory and her future were not before her. She clings to the past, and rejects the methods that would secure progress and intelligence, and hence it is difficult to forecast the future of Spain. With her seventy per cent. Of illiterates, the lack of individual enterprise and pa triotism among her people, the need of cohesion among the different provinces, and the constant friction from various quarters; together with the prevailing poverty and a depleted treasury, we con fess that the outlook is not promising.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Among the Spanish People, Vol. 1 of 2: Richard Bentley and Son, New Burlington Street, I uhlisfms in to San the Auzm, 187 7, All Rights Reserved The author's last book, "Untrodden Spain," was so kindly received by the English press and public, that he does not hesitate to offer another work, the result of many years' observation on the same country, to their kindly consideration. The history of the present book is soon told. By the generosity of friends the author was enabled to travel throughout nearly the whole of the Peninsula. Being very poor, he frequently had to travel on foot, and dine and sleep with the poor, and knowing familiarly the various low patois, he mixed with the peasantry, and was able to talk with them. In the Spanish peasantry he found, what he had often sought, but not hitherto found, truth, brotherly kindness, chivalrous devotion, true nobleness of character, religion without cant, and every virtue - mixed with a little dirt.
