Publisher Description

Spain is an immemorial land like no other, one that James A. Michener, the Pulitzer Prize–winning author and celebrated citizen of the world, came to love as his own. Iberia is Michener’s enduring nonfiction tribute to his cherished second home. In the fresh and vivid prose that is his trademark, he not only reveals the celebrated history of bullfighters and warrior kings, painters and processions, cathedrals and olive orchards, he also shares the intimate, often hidden country he came to know, where the congeniality of living souls is thrust against the dark weight of history. Wild, contradictory, passionately beautiful, this is Spain as experienced by a master writer.

BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from James A. Michener's Hawaii.

Iberia

For someone wanting to read a book about Mischener’s thought processes and experiences in Spain, this would be a wonderful read. For me it was like reading about someone’s vacation for hours on end. Also, not having much interest in the history of Spain made it that much more boring. JAM is a wonderful author but would have preferred reading about the plight of the beaver family.
