Publisher's Synopsis
The Bible In Spain is a travelogue written by George Borrow, an English author and adventurer, first published in 1843. The book chronicles his journey through Spain in the 1830s, during which he distributed Bibles and other religious literature to the Spanish people. Borrow's account of his travels is both a vivid description of Spain at the time and a fascinating insight into the religious and political climate of the country. He encounters a wide range of people, from bandits and gypsies to priests and aristocrats, and describes their customs and beliefs in detail. The book is also a reflection on Borrow's own faith and his belief in the power of the Bible to transform lives. He recounts numerous instances where the distribution of Bibles led to conversions and changed the lives of those he met. Overall, The Bible In Spain is a captivating and insightful account of a unique journey through a fascinating country, as well as a testament to the power of faith and the written word.My friend told me that these heights were favourite stations of robbers. Some two years since, a band of six mounted banditti remained there three days, and plundered whomsoever approached from either quarter: their horses, saddled and bridled, stood picqueted at the foot of the trees, and two scouts, one for each eminence, continually sat in the topmost branches and gave notice of the approach of travellers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
