The Tomb In Seville Crossing Spain On The Brink Of Civil War Norman Lewis by Norman Lewis 9780786716876, 0786716878 instant download after payment.

The final book by the master travel writer recalls the author's journey to war-torn Spain in 1934, recounting nights spent sleeping in caves and days spent dodging sniper fire as he traversed the Iberian peninsula.While
the rumblings of oncoming war shook a divided Spain, Norman Lewis and
his brother-in-law Eugene Corvaja traveled through the Spanish
countryside to the family tomb in Seville. Nearly seventy years later,
in prose that is witty, understated, and poignant, Lewis describes the
duo's travels first to Madrid, then through the bloody insurrection of
October '34, and finally via the length of Portugal to Seville. Once
there, they find the Corvaja tomb, but it is nothing like they expected.
In this, his last book before his death in 2003, Lewis conjures up the
country he returned to time and again in his writing, and displays the
spirit of pure fascination that has inspired generations of readers. He
recalls covering a hundred miles on foot, sleeping in caves, dodging
sniper fire, and attempting to dissuade the communist-leaning Eugene
from joining the People's Army. Yet Lewis's sweetly infectious
enthusiasm for the sights and sounds of a country holding on to its
glorious past in the face of a violent future never wanes. For the avid
and the new Norman Lewis reader alike, The Tomb in Seville is a
vibrantly fresh tale of a historic time and place.
