The Bible in Spain

The Journeys & Adventures of an Englishman

A travelogue and memoir detailing Borrow’s experiences distributing Protestant Bibles in Spain during the 1830s. As an agent of the British and Foreign Bible Society, Borrow navigates a politically turbulent Spain, encountering smugglers, gypsies, clergy, and government officials. His vivid descriptions of Spanish culture, language, and customs blend adventure, humor, and social commentary.

First published in 1843, this edition is derived from the book published in 1891 with 6 black & white illustrations. As always, this edition is complete and unabridged.
