About This Book

Un viajero inglés relata sus peripecias al intentar introducir y distribuir traducciones de las Escrituras por diversas provincias españolas, describiendo viajes por carreteras y puertos, choques con autoridades civiles y eclesiásticas, arrestos y estancias en prisión, y frecuentes encuentros con gitanos y gentes de pueblos y ciudades. Alterna episodios anecdóticos con observaciones sobre costumbres, lengua, religión y burocracia, y ofrece retratos vívidos de personajes y paisajes mientras reflexiona sobre las dificultades del proselitismo, la tolerancia religiosa y los contrastes sociales que encuentra en el país.
