An example retaining a partially intact spine label and structurally firm joints is an increasingly uncommon survival, making it a highly presentable and authentic acquisition for collectors of the Lost Generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRosinante to the Road Again\u003c\/i\u003e offers a captivating, pre-Civil War portrait of Spain through the discerning, youthful eyes of John Dos Passos. Blending travelogue, cultural critique, and literary essay, the book follows the wandering journeys of two companions—Telemachus and Lyaeus—as they traverse the Iberian landscape. Dos Passos vividly captures the soul of the Spanish people, their art, and their politics during a time of profound transition, cementing his reputation not just as a great American novelist, but as a sharply observant global historian.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54074807026003,"sku":"4236","price":41.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260611_122353.jpg?v=1782214108","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/rosinante-to-the-road-again-john-dos-passos-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
