Historia
'The Bible in Spain' is a travelog by George Borrow, documenting his travels through Spain as a Bible salesman during the Carlist Civil War in 1835-1838. The book details his encounters with the Roman Catholic Church and politicians who opposed his activities on behalf of the Bible Society. Borrow negotiated with government ministers in Madrid for permission to print and distribute a Spanish translation of the New Testament, with support from the British ambassador. The first widely read book with accurate first-hand information on Gypsies, this work is a fascinating glimpse into 19th-century Spain.
