Nearly seventy years later, in prose that is witty, understated, and poignant, Lewis describes the duo&#8217;s travels first to Madrid, then through the bloody insurrection of October &#8217;34, and finally via the length of Portugal to Seville. Once there, they find the Corvaja tomb, but it is nothing like they expected.<br><br>In this, his last book before his death in 2003, Lewis conjures up the country he returned to time and again in his writing, and displays the spirit of pure fascination that has inspired generations of readers. He recalls covering a hundred miles on foot, sleeping in caves, dodging sniper fire, and attempting to dissuade the communist-leaning Eugene from joining the People&#8217;s Army. Yet Lewis&#8217;s sweetly infectious enthusiasm for the sights and sounds of a country holding on to its glorious past in the face of a violent future never wanes.<br><br>For the avid and the new Norman Lewis reader alike, <i>The Tomb in Seville</i> is a vibrantly fresh tale of a historic time and place.<br></div> 630595 2003 The Tomb in Seville: Crossing Spain on the Brink of Civil War total:9|5:4|4:5|3:0|2:0|1:0| 9 40 24 2 4 0 false false Sun May 04 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun May 04 19:26:51 -0700 2008 Sun May 04 19:35:43 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu Jul 10 11:15:38 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 10 11:16:29 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Nov 28 07:28:11 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 28 07:28:11 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sat Nov 07 10:26:48 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 10:26:48 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 29 17:12:41 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 17:12:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 27 16:59:30 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 16:59:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 27 09:56:37 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 09:56:41 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri May 29 10:14:42 -0700 2009 Fri May 29 10:14:42 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu May 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 06:07:10 -0700 2009 Fri May 15 05:52:00 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun May 10 11:02:00 -0700 2009 Sun May 10 11:02:00 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Mar 31 17:31:24 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 20:07:53 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Feb 23 12:34:04 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 12:34:04 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jan 17 19:50:19 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 17 21:07:00 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jan 16 05:48:33 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 16 05:48:34 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Dec 27 19:04:40 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 27 19:04:40 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Aug 17 19:51:46 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 17 19:51:57 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Thu Jul 24 19:29:40 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 24 19:29:40 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Jun 13 09:07:43 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 19 20:31:43 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu May 29 11:56:28 -0700 2008 Thu May 29 11:56:28 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue May 27 08:37:46 -0700 2008 Tue May 27 08:53:51 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=644432
