Reviews
The Author, Professor of literature at Trinity College, Dublin, wrote about his experiences with the Gipsies in Hungary and Romania in the thirties of the last century.
el hispanista irlandés Walter Starkie describe el viaje que realizó a pie y solo, por nuestro país, en 1935. Narra sus experiencias y peripecias durante ese periplo, los personajes famosos que conoció, y también los anónimos, la impresión que le causaron los parajes españoles, los ambientes decadentes y miserables en que se movían los bailaores flamencos, la fuerte presencia de los gitanos en la cultura española, la vida en el Madrid de la época, etcétera.
