Written by an acclaimed black American author who died in 1960, master chronicler Richard Wright brilliantly expanded his literary horizons with 'Pagan Spain'. The Spain he visited in the mid 20th century was not the romantic locale of song and story, but a place of tragic beauty and dangerous contradictions. He offers a blistering, powerful yet scrupulously honest depiction of a land and people in turmoil, caught in the strangling dual grip of cruel dictatorship and an undercurrent of primitive faith. A mix of expert travel reportage, dramatic monologue and arresting sociological critique and controversial in the extreme, it was first published in 1957. 288pp in paperback, remainder mark.
