| Summary | "Spain, v. 1 (of 2)" by Edmondo De Amicis is a travel account written in the late 19th century. This work explores the author's journey through various cities in Spain, primarily depicting his experiences and interactions as an Italian traveler. De Amicis not only describes his personal observations but also provides cultural insights about the Spanish people, their customs, and the political climate of the time. The opening of the book details the author's emotional departure from Italy, highlighting his sense of melancholy before embarking on his adventure to Spain. As he narrates his travels from Turin to Barcelona, he encounters various characters, including friends and fellow travelers, who shape his perspective on his journey. The narrative captures his fascination with the landscapes and the people he meets, as well as a growing curiosity about Spain's complex political landscape, which includes discussions of the monarchy and republic. Throughout the opening portion, De Amicis's vivid descriptions and reflective tone serve to immerse the reader in both his personal journey and the broader cultural tapestry of Spain.
