Sinopsis de LAVENGRO: THE SCHOLAR - THE GYPSY - THE PRIEST

In "Lavengro: the Scholar - the Gypsy - the Priest," George Borrow artfully weaves a multifaceted narrative that traverses the intersecting worlds of scholarship, marginalized cultures, and spiritual exploration in 19th-century England. Combining autobiographical elements with rich character studies and vivid prose, Borrows literary style reflects Romantic sensibilities while incorporating the vernacular of the Romani people, thus establishing a unique voice within the Victorian literary context. The books episodic structure invites readers to experience a journey through identity, highlighting the tension between the conventional and the outsider through the authorÄôs encounters with gypsies and various spiritual quests. George Borrow, a man of eclectic interests and profound curiosity, was intimately acquainted with the cultures he depicts in the novel. His life as a linguist, traveler, and advocate for the Romani people informed his passionate writing, driving his desire to illuminate their rich heritage against the backdrop of societal prejudice. Borrows own struggles with faith and identity resonate deeply within the narrative, revealing his personal conflicts and social critiques. "Lavengro" is a compelling exploration of the human spirit that challenges societal norms and celebrates cultural diversity, making it an essential read for scholars, philosophers, and anyone interested in the complexities of identity. BorrowÄôs insightful narrative beckons readers to embrace understanding and compassion, cementing the books relevance in todays discussions of multiculturalism and tolerance.

George Borrow (East Dereham, 1803), viaxeiro, tradutor e escritor, manifesta dende novo o seu interese por coñecer as linguas do mundo. Aprende galés, danés, hebreo, árabe, armenio e alemán. Fai traducións e inicia unha vida errante que o leva a percorrer Inglaterra, onde entra en relación coa Sociedade Bíblica Británica e Estranxeira e, por conta dela, marcha a Rusia para aprender a lingua tártaro-manchú e traducir o Novo Testamento. Unha vez publicado, decide distribuílo el mesmo, percorrendo España metro a metro. Viaxa por Galicia durante o verán de 1837. En 1842 remata The Bible in Spain, o libro que tanta sona lle había de dar e do que agora Xerais publica a parte referida a Galicia.
