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 masterpiece which delights from first page to last.' TLS 'Very clever, very funny and very bold.' Victoria Glendinning, Times Born in 1894 to a well-off military family, Gerard Brenan was expected to follow the family tradition. But at Radley school he discovered a love of books and an urge to break the mould, which led him to abscond to Europe for six months. After the First World War he went to Spain, where he found the inspiration for his life's work (and began an affair with Dora Carrington.) Come the 1930s his life changed again, with marriage and the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, which inspired his masterpiece The Spanish Labyrinth (1943). Drawing on long personal acquaintance as well as a wealth of unpublished correspondence, Jonathan Gathorne-Hardy looks unflinchingly at the whole of this remarkable man of letters - from his venturesome spirit to his troublesome sexuality to his literary accomplishment. 'By no means unworthy to stand beside P N Furbank's Forster, Michael Holroyd's Strachey or Quentin Bell's Woolf... Affectionate but acerbic, learned but witty, elegant but relaxed, [Gathorne-Hardy] entertains as consistently as he informs.' Independent on Sunday

El hispanista Gerald Brenan, harto de la rigidez anglosajona, llegó en 1920 a Yegen, pueblecito plácidamente recostado en una ladera alpujarreña. Allí, y hasta 1934, residió, alternando con viajes, más de seis años. Fascinado por la sencilla espontaneidad de sus gentes, su lenguaje y sus costumbres, Brenan, al tiempo que se documentaba, fue anotando minuciosamente cuanto veía, oía y vivía. El resultado es esta emocionante y valiosa monografía sobre la vida en La Alpujarra en esos años, en la que quiso dejar constancia de todos los aspectos que le atrajeron, desde los usos amorosos de los lugareños a la gastronomía de la zona, pasando por las canciones infantiles, los burdeles de Almería o las visitas, descritas en escenas memorables, que le hicieron personajes como Dora Carrington, Lytton Strachey, Virginia Woolf o Roger Fry. De los muchos trotamundos ingleses que, atraídos por la historia y la geografía españolas, han relatado sus aventuras por estas tierras, Brenan constituye sin duda un caso peculiar. 'Al sur de Granada', escrito en 1957, ofrece una original simbiosis de arqueología, historia, etnología y antropología, salpicada de sugestivas interpretaciones, que lo diferencia de todas las demás narraciones de viajeros.

St John Of The Cross His Life And Poetry written by Gerald Brenan and has been published by Cambridge University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1973-05-17 with Literary Criticism categories.
The paperback edition of a very successful and in some ways remarkable book, first published in 1973. Gerald Brenan is well known for his 'expository' works on Spanish history and literature, and now in his eighties he has returned to an early interest in the Spanish mystics to produce an absorbing study of St John of the Cross, one of the foremost of Catholic mystics and poets. The book is perhaps the first in English to combine an objective - but sensitive and lively - account of St John's life with a fresh translation (by Mr Brenan's associate Lynda Nicholson) of his verse.
