Mycket gott skick. Mycket gott skick. Fint exemplar. Oläst. Något gulnat boksnitt och några småskavanker och hanteringsspår på skyddsomslaget, för övrigt i nära nyskick.

Andalusia is a passion - and fifteen years after his last visit Laurie Lee returned. He found a country broken by the Civil War, but the totems of indestructible Spain survive: the Christ in agony, the thrilling flamenco cry - the pride in poverty, the gypsy intensity in vivid whitewashed slums, the cult of the bullfight, the exultation in death, the humour of hopelessness - the paradoxes deep in the fiery bones of Spain. Rich with kaleidoscopic images, A Rose for Winter is as sensual and evocative as the sun-scorched landscape of Andalusia itself.

AV LAURIE LEE: Cider med Rosie / Jag gick mig ut i världen en sommarmorgon / Jag kan inte stanna längre.
