"The Bible in Spain" by George Borrow is a travel book published in 1843. It chronicles Borrow's adventurous journey through Spain as a Bible salesman during the turbulent Carlist Civil War of 1835-1838. Facing fierce opposition from the Catholic Church and authorities, he navigates dangerous terrain, encounters everyone from prime ministers to gypsies, opens an illegal bookshop, and lands briefly in prison. This vivid account blends evangelical mission with romantic adventure, offering
intimate portraits of a diverse cast of Spaniards during a dramatic period in Spanish history. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
