A Traveller's Companion to Madrid Résumé

A Traveller's Companion to Madrid: New edition Hugh Thomas

The Earl of Clarendon describes 17th century bullfights; Salvador Dali plays a surrealist joke on a snooty barman at the Ritz; Rubens visits the Alcazar; Manet is at the Prado; generals and anarchists


meet in the Puerta del Sol. Hugh Thomas has chosen these and other vivid snapshots of Madrid's history from diaries, letters, memoirs and novels across five centuries to evoke the city's drama and life.

A Traveller's Companion to Madrid Avis

All the essential spirit of Madrid -- sombre, aristocratic and tinged with violence. * Bloomsbury Book Guide *
Outstanding . . . a tour de force. * Geographical Journal *
