A Romantic in Spain | Theophile Gautier
In 1840, enfant terrible Thophile Gautier set off by coach for Spain, hired by a magazine to send back travelogue chapters. The end result was this vivid book, originally published in 1845. In it he recounts Spain's vast landscapes, architecture, bullfights, costumes, women, sensual Madrid and the cigar makers of Seville. Maps. Illustrations.
