<br/><br/> "The Bible in Spain, Vol. 1 [of 2]" by George Borrow is a travel book published in 1843. Borrow recounts his adventures as a Bible salesman traversing Spain during the turbulent Carlist Civil War from 1835 to 1838. Facing opposition from the Catholic Church and politicians, he navigates encounters with everyone from prime ministers to beggars, Gypsies to crypto-Jews. His mission to distribute Spanish New Testaments leads to imprisonment, illness, and ultimately suppression, all while capturing vivid portraits of a wild, diverse Spain.
