Sobre este artículo
London: Penguin Books, 1971 Andalusia is a passion. Fifteen years after his last visit, Laurie Lee returns. He finds a country broken by the Civil War, but the totems of indestructible Spain survive: the Virgin in agony, the thrilling flamenco wail the pride in poverty, the gypsy intensity in grey slums, the glory in the horror of the bullfight, the exultation in death, the humour in hopelessness the paradoxes deep in the fiery bones of Spain. Laurie Lee writes with a beauty to match his passion. ---------------------- 122 pages. Book slightly shelf-bumped. But very good for a book nearly half a century old. ---------- Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery services. Size: Approx 4½ " Wide - 7" Tall
Sinopsis
LAURIE LEE was born in Stroud, Gloucestershire, in 1914, and was educated at Slad village school and Stroud Central School. At the age of nineteen he walked to London and then travelled on foot through Spain, where he was trapped by the outbreak of the Civil War. He later returned by crossing the Pyrenees, as described in his book As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning. In 1950 he married Catherine Polge and they had one daughter. Laurie Lee died in May 1997. In its obituary the Guardian wrote, "He has a nightingale inside him, a capacity for sensuous, lyrical precisions".
