4.0 out of 5 stars A minor-key journey in post-war Spain, 19 April 2008
By Cousin Jack (Cornwall) - See all my reviews
"Face of Spain" lacks the polemic of "The Spanish Labyrinth" - it lacks, too, the thematic treatment and supportive detail. Instead, it's essentially a travelogue, of G Brenan's return to Spain in 1949, and his journeys from Madrid back towards Andalusia. During the narrative, he capably describes what passes by the rail carriage's window, and what he finds in the hungry towns. He also recounts several vox pop chats with frustrated fascists and pensive democrats. Quixotically, he goes in search of García Lorca's grave, and constantly admires the passing countryside, while noting, with a strangely resigned tone, the pervasive poverty of that time. This is a better book than Laurie Lee's "A Rose for Winter", being far less introspective, but shares with it a sense of passive dismay.
