Travelling from Morocco up through Andalusia, Aragon, Castile and Valencia, Frank treats Spain as a spiritual drama rather than a guidebook subject. Its landscapes, Moorish and Jewish thinkers, Catholic monarchs, saints and sinners, and finally Cervantes’s knight are woven into a lyrical argument about Spanish character and its meaning for the Americas.
A much-discussed 1926 book of cultural interpretation, written in Frank’s rhapsodic modernist prose. Download the free EPUB.
