A Rose for Winter: Travels in Andalusia Kindle Edition

by Laurie Lee (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars 23 ratings
See all formats and editions
A passionate ode to the magic of Spain, composed by one of its most ardent admirers

Fifteen years after the events described in his acclaimed autobiographies, As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning and A Moment of War, Laurie Lee returned to Spain, the land of his youth and experience. He found a country bowed but not broken, where the heavy gloom of the recent past was shot through with the vibrant rays of tradition: the exquisite ecstasy of the flamenco, the pomp and circumstance of the bullfight, the eternal glory of Christ and church.

From the smuggler’s paradise of Algeciras to the Moorish majesty of Granada, Lee paints the wonders of Spain with a poet’s brush. To read A Rose for Winter is to be transported to one of the most enchanted places on earth.

You’ll want to immediately pack your bags and head to Spain. I swear I could smell the scents and hear the sounds as I was reading this.

Can't wait to read this book. Would definitely recommend Shedlight Books. The order arrived on time, beautifully wrapped just like a gift with a handwritten note inside thanking me for my custom. What more could I ask for

Laurie Lee fue mencionado en un libro de Chris Stewart, que me lleva a buscar sus libros. Leí As I Walked Out , que era excelente, y luego me encontré con esta segunda parte del libro en Amazon .... una tapa dura! En perfecto estado, anteriormente propiedad de la Biblioteca Escolar Charterhouse. He puesto el recibo en la cubierta, así que mis herederos no pensaré lo robé. Gran libro!

4.0 out of 5 stars Rose for Laurie

I like Laurie Lee....I think his style and prose is beautiful (that is if one can call a piece of writing beautiful) but I only gave Rose for Winter four stars because it became rather monotonous and started to read like a tourist travelogue. It lacked a sense of adventure.
