pY GOOD fortune. John Dos Passos

pY GOOD fortune. John Dos Passos
did not wait for the crowd, but
went or his quest so we'll equipped
that he has brought back book which.
in spite Of few defects, is one of the
best volumes of Spanish impressions in
recent times. To begin with. he knows
the language, and without that qualf-
cation no visitor TO Spain need weary
US with his approximations, for the
country is not conveniently arranged
for tourists who sit in hotels and
cafes with their own compatriots,
evolving conclusions about the people
from their inner consciousness.
Here is an American who really saw
Spain and talked to Spaniards, who
caught the mood of the civilization
which fingers there in spite Of the
glories of industrial democracy. If he
saw Baroja, but makes no reference TO
the existence OF Vale Inclan and Pc
rez do Ayala, It IS not because he had
an eye only for the obvious. His inter
polated essay on Baroja is good, but he
displays genuine fair and acumen in
getting upon the track Of Giner de los
Rios, the remarkable genius Of the
Institution Libre de Insenanza, whose
works are not to be found in the print
ed page so much as in the whole gen
Grafton which he formed. To name
ie IN
ing figure in Spanish letters to-day.
In Unamuno, also an academic here
tic, John Dos Passos finds the modern
counterpart Of Giner de los Rios, and
his appreciation Of this striking per
sonality demonstrates again his pro
found understanding OF the Spanish
temperament, which gets US far away
from the melodram matizations of Mcri-
NEE, Of Bizet and Of LA Femme ct Ie
Pantin" Of Pierre Louys. While his
pages are full Of the color and Joy of
Spanish life, OF that element Of frank.
intense materiaiism OF which Sancho
Panza is the eternal prototype, he has
not forgotten the other element which
went into the creation OF Don Quixote
and Loyola and Torquemada, that
harsh, violent mysticism, the asceti-
clsm which Is behind the somber fasci-
nation of death for the Spaniards since
their history began. In fine, within
very brief compass this book reflects
many sides Of Spanish life and charac
ter, and chronicles the adventures of a
sensitive and cultured mind among men
and books in one of the last strong
holds OF an almost extinct social order.
