Spain: A Portrait After the General

Spain: A Portrait After the General

by RobertElms (Author)

Synopsis

Two themes are combined in this book. One is a personal tale chronicling the author's discovery of Spain, of the pull it held over him and the reasons why he returned time and again, often to act out the most potent and vivid moments of his life. It also tells of Spain's journey as it emerged from the shroud of Francoism to its position now as perhaps the most dynamic and charismatic country in Europe, to discover the essence of the new Spain which has thrown up architects and designers, writers and directors, in a blur of liberalism and hedonism. Robert Elms was presenter of the 32-week Channel 4 television series, "Travelogue", and is a regular contributor to the travel pages of "The Times and "The Sunday Times".
