Translated by Manuel Azaña
A historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book chronicles the author's experiences and observations as he travels through Spain, focusing particularly on the distribution of the Bible and the response of the Spanish people to its teachings. Borrow aims to document his mission in spreading Christianity across the country, engaging with various characters and cultural settings. The opening of this volume introduces us to Borrow's arrival in Madrid, where he describes his stay with María Díaz, a woman of strength and intelligence who supports his mission. Through her, we get a glimpse of background stories and the societal conditions impacting his work. Borrow's conversation with Mr. Villiers reveals his plan to print and distribute the New Testament in Spain, setting off a complex journey through the country where he anticipates both opposition and support. As he prepares for his travels, Borrow reflects on the dangers he may face, underscoring his dedication to spreading the message of Christianity despite the challenges ahead.
