Spanish novelist and travel writer Camilo José Cela (1916-2002) published six books about traveling through various regions of his country between 1948 and 1986. Henn (Spanish and Latin
American studies, U. College London, UK) believes these writings by the Nobel prize winner have been ＂inexcusably neglected＂ in examinations of Cela’s career and views this text as a remedy. He
seeks to find a consistent set of ideas about travel and travel writing in Cela’s work and offers an assessment of each of the books in turn. Distributed by Associated University Presses.
