«Viento del sur: memorias apócrifas de un inglés salvado por España» is a memoir by Ian Gibson published by Plaza & Janés in hardcover.
The Hispanist Ian Gibson constructs apocryphal memoirs to tell of his arrival in Spain and his gradual integration into the country. With British humor, he blends personal experiences, a portrait of English peculiarities and a look at Hispanism as an international phenomenon.
The work corresponds to the first edition published by Plaza & Janés Editores in Barcelona in 2001, with illustrated dust jacket and text in Spanish (260 pages).
A book aimed at readers of memoirs and cultural history interested in the British view of Spain and the phenomenon of Hispanism.
Ian Gibson is an Irish author and Hispanist known for his biographies of the poet Antonio Machado, the artist Salvador Dalí, the bibliographer Henry Spencer Ashbee, the filmmaker Luis Buñuel, and particularly his work on the poet and playwright Federico García Lorca, for which he won several awards, including the 1989 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for biography. His work, La represión nacionalista de Granada en 1936 y la muerte de Federico García Lorca was banned in Spain under Franco.
