La Biblia en España, Tomo I (de 3)

O viajes, aventuras y prisiones de un inglés en su intento de difundir las Escrituras por la Península

by George Borrow

Translated by Manuel Azaña

"La Biblia en España, Tomo I (de 3)" by George Borrow is a travel book published in 1843. It chronicles Borrow's adventures as a Bible salesman traversing Spain during the tumultuous Carlist Civil War from 1835 to 1838. Facing opposition from the Catholic Church and political authorities, he encounters prime ministers, beggars, Gypsies, and crypto-Jews while attempting to distribute Spanish translations of the New Testament. His journey includes imprisonment, illness, and colorful confrontations that reveal a Spain caught between tradition and change.
