书籍介绍
Between 1920 and 1934, Gerald Brenan lived in the remote Spanish village of Yegen and "South of Granada" depicts his time there, vividly evoking the essence of his rural surroundings and the Spanish way of life before the Civil War. Here he portrays the landscapes, festivals and folk-lore of the Sierra Nevada, the rivalries, romances and courtship rituals, village customs, superstitions and characters. Fascinating details emerge, from cheap brothels to archaeological remains, along with visits from Brenan's friends from the Bloomsbury group - Lytton Strachey and Virginia Woolf among them. Knowledgeable, elegant and sympathetic, this is a rich account of Spain's vanished past.

A diminished culture. Not so religious, but lots of religious festivals. Not so political, but plenty of village political activities. Poor but still happy, and not anymore. Isolated even believe English and French could not speak Spanish at all like one kind of bird cannot make sounds of other kinds by nature.
活脱一个一百年前的 expat，结构没有内容浅薄，谁要看你写的你认识的英国人（呕）
在书中描述的Alpujarra和Granada玩的时候看了这本书，像是另一种形式的travel guide。书里描写的内华达山脉、风俗人情、吉普赛人、地中海慢慢地展现在眼前，很神奇又亲切。
