Summary "Sac au dos à travers l'Espagne" by Hector France is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book explores the journey of the main character, who sets out to walk through the diverse landscapes of Spain, reflecting on the country's beauty, its culture, and the stark realities of poverty. Through detailed observations, the author paints a vivid picture of Spanish life and society during this time, likely accentuated by both romanticism and realism. At the start of the narrative, the protagonist emphasizes the virtues of traveling on foot, sharing thoughts on the burdens and joys of such an experience. He begins his journey in Irun and immediately immerses himself in the essence of Spain, noting the peculiarities of its people and the distinct atmosphere surrounding him. While encountering the beauty of the landscape and the hardship of the locals, he humorously criticizes the reliance on faster modes of travel, arguing that they rob travelers of genuine experiences. As he ventures from Irun to Grenada, he documents his observations of the natural scenery, the unique characteristics of Spanish culture, and interactions with the local populace, all contributing to a rich tapestry of his travels across the Spanish landscape.
