A Rose For WinterLaurie LeeLabel: Vintage ClassicsDescription: Andalusia is a passion - and fifteen years after his last visit Laurie Lee returned. He found a country broken by the Civil War but the totems of indestructible Spain survive: the Christ in agony the thrilling flamenco cry-the pride in poverty the gypsy intensity in vivid whitewashed slums the cult of the bullfight the exultation in death the humour of hopelessness-the paradoxes deep in the fiery bones of Spain. Rich with kaleidoscopic images A Rose for Winter is as sensual and evocative as the sun-scorched landscape of Andalusia itself.
