Download or read book Southern Spain Classic Reprint written by Albert Frederick Calvert and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-10 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Spain Few travellers have leisure enough to traverse the Wide realm of tawny Spain in its every part. Those who must confine their attention to a single province naturally select Andalusia, Where all the Northerner's preconceptions of the South find realization. The wild scenery of Southern Spain, the gay open - air life of the people, the monuments attesting the splendour of the extinct civilization of the Moor, the spell of romance which still holds its cities, makes this land one of the most interesting and fascinating in Europe to the artist, the archaeologist, and the dreamer. The present volume, mainly the embodiment of personal impressions and observations, is intended partly to supply the place of a guide-book to this part of the Peninsula, and with that object I have brought together as much of history, art, and topography as the traveller is likely to assimilate. Into the descriptive matter I have introduced a little gossip, which will, I hope, be not found altogether irrelevant, and may serve to beguile the tedium of a bare recital of facts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Life in Spain My acquaintance with Spain dates back nearly twenty years. Since the first trip to Andalusia, taken on a tramp steamer that still fills a leading role when I suffer from nightmare, I have revisited the south half a dozen times and lived awhile in centre, north, and east. On several occasions holiday-making has provided the sole excuse for a visit, but I have acted as special correspondent to two daily papers, and this work gave me my first insight into the working of Spain's political machine. Of the fascination of the country and the charm of the people there is little set down in the following pages, not that it is possible to forget either, but because many pens have made the recital more tedious than a twice told tale. In the preparation of this volume I have relied for the most part upon memory and Charles Rudy. He it is who has set me right when memory tired or sought to play me false; in his pleasant company I still recall incidents of half-forgotten days and nights spent in the most fascinating country in Europe.

We preferred the spring, because - although in Spain the weather is often very unsettled at that season, heavy rains interrupting the communi cation, rendering travelling uncertain and dis agreeable - with a limited time upon your hands, it is upon the whole the best; the vegetation is in its greatest beauty; the days are lengthening, and the weather improving; by regulating your movements, as I had planned, and moving north wards, you avoid the great heat, which in the southern provinces is considerable by the middle of June.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spain and the Spaniards, in 1843, Vol. 2 of 2 WE had great difficulty in finding places in the diligence to Madrid, all the better seats being secured for weeks beforehand; there were two rival com panics, and we were obliged to take the coach of the inferior administration but they assured me there was little difference in the arrangements, especially in the important article of the time consumed upon the road. I must beg the attention of the reader particularly to the ensuing pages, because in them will be re lated an event of no small importance in the extra ordinary and unexpected scenes that shortly after wards followed in the south of Spain, and it formed a hinge, on which a part of the results from the movements we have seen, turned.

Download or read book Shakespeare and Spain Classic Reprint written by H. Thomas and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare and Spain I have entitled this lecture 'Shakespeare and Spain', but I shall deal with one side only of the suggested subject, Spain's influence in Shakespeare, leaving to others the question of Shakespeare's influence in Spain. I am conscious that I have chosen the lesser part, and in the end I shall concur with your criticism that a more fitting title would have been one which Shakespeare himself has provided ready to hand - Much Ado about Nothing - for I am on the side of those who think that Spain's direct influence in Shakespeare is small. That is perhaps the general view among such as have given no special consideration to the matter. Eminent scholars hold widely differing opinions. On the one hand, Mr. Aubrey Bell boldly speaks of the Spanish language 'which Shakespeare seems to have known well', and he continues: 'Several Shakespeare plays were derived from Spanish sources, and one, The Tempest, followed very closely on the publication of its Spanish source. Shakespeare's allusions to Spain are very numerous, he uses Spanish phrases and gives an English garb to others.' On the other hand, Professor Fitzmaurice-Kelly cautiously admits: 'There are in Shakespeare a few touches which, with a little goodwill, may be taken as implying some acquaintance, however slight, with Spanish. It is conceivable that Shakespeare contrived to plod through some of the Spanish books which were reprinted in the Netherlands and brought thence to England; some such supposition is almost unavoidable if we choose to accept Dorer's well-known theory that The Tempest derives from Antonio de Eslava's Noches de Invierno.

This book was released on 2017-12-23 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Life Among the Wild Birds in Spain I have been in the habit of keeping a journal of natural history since I was fourteen years of age; jottings and notes on the habits and description of beasts, birds, reptiles, fishes and insects, but especially birds. And I early took to illustrating my journals by sketches in pen and ink and water-colours. As far back as 1874 I began to turn my attention especially to the fauna of Southern Spain. From that time, with sundry breaks owing to my military and other duties, I have lived much in that region and during the last few years have regularly wintered there. I realize more than ever that it is only by living amongst them that any true idea of the ways and nature of wild animals can be got. So it has seemed to me worth while to publish this account of my life in the wilds of An-dalucia. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes in Spain The following brief sketch of the Writer's visit to Spain in the Summer of 1831 was prepared for the press soon after his return to his native country. Various circumstances have delayed its publication, until the period to which it refers has become a sufficiently remote one. The political condition of Spain is altered, and she has passed from the tyranny of despotism to the worse tyranny of anarchy. Notwithstanding all these changes, the manners of the people have, doubtless, undergone little if any alteration: and the slight and passing pictures of life here given, such as the writer traced them on the spot, would perhaps still portray with equal fidelity the customs of a country, which, in the midst of revolutions, remains in so many respects the same.
