Spanish Life in Town and Country (Classic Reprint)

Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from Spanish Life in Town and Country It has been thought well to include Portugal in this volume, so as to embrace the entire Iberian Peninsula. Though geographically contiguous, and so closely associated in the popular mind, the Spanish and Portuguese nations offer in fact the most striking divergences alike in character and institutions, and separate treatment was essential in justice to each country. The preferential attention given to Spain is only in keeping with the more prominent part she has played, and may yet play, in the history of civilisation. I Am indebted for the chapters on Portugal to Mr. Eugene E.Street, whose long and intimate acquaintance with the land and its people renders him peculiarly fitted to draw their picture.
