Voyage en Espagne by Théophile Gautier
"Voyage en Espagne" by Théophile Gautier is a travel book first published in 1843. The work recounts the author's journey through the Iberian Peninsula in 1840, accompanied by art collector Eugène Piot. An example of literary Romanticism and the Orientalist wave of its era, the book offers rich descriptions of Spanish landscapes. Gautier praises the south, particularly Andalusia, while depicting the Meseta as barren and uncultivated. Heat emerges as a recurring element
in his characterization of the country, reaching its peak in his chapter on Toledo. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
