Sobre El Autor

Borrow was employed by the (Protestant) Bible Society to distribute bibles in Catholic Spain in 1835. He encountered much opposition and was on one occasion imprisoned for three weeks. The famous account of his experience has little to do with the Bible and much to do with the people, land, and mostrar más perils of his journey. Borrow is as racy in his descriptions of places as of people. Lavengro (1851) and its sequel, The Romany Rye (1857), are like novels in their interest and excitement. They are stories of gypsies, rich in gypsy lore, superstitions, and customs. Borrow spent many years in close association with Spanish gypsies and translated the Gospel of St. Luke into their language. His linguistic abilities were remarkable; he gives much space to word derivations, particularly in Lavengro. His books abound in pugnacious passages; his attacks on Sir Walter Scott (see Vol. 1), on prizefighters, and on "papists" are indicative of some of his sharp prejudices. He wrote marvelously, however, and those who admire him are devotees for life. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

La Biblia en España por George Henry Borrow
Entre 1836 y 1840 (los años de la primera guerra carlista, la desamortización y la primera regencia), GEORGE BORROW viajó por cuenta de la Sociedad Bíblica británica con el objeto de difundir el Nuevo Testamento en una edición sin comentarios y accesible para todos. La vocación apostólica de «Don Jorgito el inglés» (por ese nombre era conocido en Madrid) le permitió recorrer media España y ser protagonista o testigo de múltiples incidentes encuentros con bandidos, arrestos y detenciones, conspiraciones de gitanos (ocupados de los misteriosos «asuntos de Egipto»), amenazas de muerte* cuyo recuerdo vertió, a su vuelta a Inglaterra, en LA BIBLIA EN ESPAÑA, libro que alcanzó de inmediato gran éxito y difusión.Manuel Azaña, traductor y prologuista en 1921 de la edición española, señala el novelesco interés de muchas aventuras, que parecen propias de un libro picaresco, pero por encima de todo destaca su carácter de obra de arte, de creación, que lo sitúa entre los mejores libros de su género.… (más)
