«The Face of Spain» is Gerald Brenan's travelogue, published by Penguin in paperback (272 pages, in English).
Gerald Brenan returns to Spain in 1949, after the Civil War, to see what has become of the country. He talks with ordinary people and visits small towns: there is hunger, guerrillas in the mountains and families living in caves. He also visits Lorca's grave and reflects on Córdoba and Toledo in a humane and perceptive account.
Part of Penguin's Travel Library collection. The paperback edition was published in 1987.
Of interest to readers of Spanish history and travel literature, and to those seeking a close-up account of rural Spain under Franco.
Edward FitzGerald "Gerald" Brenan, CBE, MC was a British writer and hispanist who spent much of his life in Spain.
