That powerful personality comes to the fore in this 1913 travelogue, in which Howells journeys in Spaininformed by his daunting historical and literary eruditionbecome the stuff of an intelligent and opinionated narrative investigating the beauty, mysteries, and paradoxes of a romantic nation and its passionate people. A classic of travel writing, this portrait of Spain a century ago continues to enrapture armchair adventurers today.
