5 recensioni per As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning [Lingua Inglese]

  1. Sue

    I must be one of the last people I know to read “As I walked out one Midsummer morning”, the memoir by Laurie Lee, but I don’t know why I’ve waited this long in my life to do it. It surely ranks as one of the best books I’ve ever read. His writing style is quite poetic – lyrical, with heavy use of simile and metaphor. As a lover of poetry, this suited me very well. I described the book to my children as “delicious” and a “real feast of words”. It covers a period between 1934-36, largely in Spain. But for me this was also an important book to read. My mother was Spanish, born in 1928, so Lee describes the Spain my mother grew up in; the Spain of my grandparents, and it helped me understand their world.

    Una interesante visión histórica de España en los años 30.

    Eins meiner Lieblingsbücher! Lebendig und kraftvoll geschrieben, ohne Romantisierung der damaligen Verhältnisse.

    Once again the item was sent on time and safe. Very satisfied!

    A classic that has aged well. For anyone interested in Spanish Civil War history, this, along with its sequel A Moment of War are superbly written and entertaining companion pieces to Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia and Ken Loach’s film Land and Freedom. Travel writing of the highest order.
