An amalgam of expert travel reportage, dramatic monologue, and arresting sociological critique, \u003cem\u003ePagan Spain\u003c\/em\u003e serves as a pointed and still-relevant commentary on the grave human dangers of oppression and governmental corruption.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Spain Richard Wright visited in the mid-twentieth century was not the romantic locale of song and story, but a place of tragic beauty and dangerous contradictions. The portrait he offers in \u003cem\u003ePagan Spain\u003c\/em\u003e is a blistering, powerful, yet scrupulously honest depiction of a land and people in turmoil, caught in the strangling dual grip of cruel dictatorship and what Wright saw as an undercurrent of primitive faith. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780061450198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 6.14w x 0.87d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2008 pg. 56\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Richard Wright","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44625855054005,"sku":"9780061450198","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_85ecd004-4b32-432c-8c5e-2e2d9e50a81e.jpg?v=1725978426","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/pagan-spain-9780061450198","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
