Iberia

The enduring qualities of Spain, an immemorial place like no other in the world, has made it James Michener's second home. Here, in the fresh and vivid prose that is his trademark, he not only reveals the celebrated Spain of bullfighters and warrior kings, painters and processions, cathedrals and olive orchards; he also shares the intimate, often hidden Spain he has come to know, where toiling peasants and their honest food, the salt of the shores and the oranges of the inland fields, the congeniality of living souls and the dark weight of history conspire to create a wild, contradictory, passionately beautiful land, the mystery called Iberia.Michener, James A. is the author of 'Iberia' with ISBN 9780449207338 and ISBN 0449207331.
