This compilation...'strives to go beyond the commonplaces' and overwhelmingly succeeds in this...vivid and descriptive images and more subtle suggestions of the landscape and culture...The collection is a good one, well selected and translated, and conveys a real senseof Spain as a country but also as a people... -- British Bulletin of Publications on Latin America, April 2003.
