Pritchett, V. S. (Ill. Warren Chappell)
The Spanish Temper
Publisher: New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1955..
2nd ptg. 21 X 14½ cm. Near Fine/VG. Quarter red cloth with blue-grey boards, gilt titles & decorations on spine, blind-stamped decoration on front board and publisher's device on rear board, x, 270, vii, [1] pp, 1 map, 10 b & w drawings (one at head of each chapter), index. Edges of boards slightly faded, spine ends very lightly worn, slightly musty. Price-clipped DJ spine faded but legible, joints & edges rubbed, spine ends and corners slightly chipped, a 2 cm tear at bottom of front joint is invisible when jacket is in its Brodart archival cover. Pritchett journeys counterclockwise around Spain from Irún to Barcelona, giving (according to the DJ) "a picture of Spain as it has been and is now. Allusive, psychological, historical, panoramic, evocative, and convincing, it probes very deeply into the realities of Spanish living. It touches politics, economics, religion, sex, art, geography, and literature. Only in Catalonia, Mr. Pritchett shows, is Spain predominantly European; he brings to life on the printed page a fascinating country more than half North African--and in part gypsy--which is like nothing else in the world."

[xi], 353 p.; 21 cm. "After Eleven Years as an American Living in London, the renowned travel writer Paul Theroux set out to travel clockwise around the coast of Great Britain to find out what the British were really like. The result is this perceptive, hilarious record of the journey. Whether in Cornwall or Wales, Ulster or Scotland, the people he encountered along the way revealed far more of themselves than they perhaps intended to display to a stranger. Theroux captured their rich and varied conversational commentary with caustic wit and penetrating insight." Stock#102709. Vg /soft cover.
