Abstract
Los libros de viaje permiten al lector
aprender sobre
esos lugares que se
describen. A pesar de que España no formaba parte del itinerario de
viaje
conocido en el siglo XVIII como el
Grand Tour
, suscitó la curiosidad de
algunos viajeros que se adentraron por esos caminos para saber algo más
de ese país desconocido para muchos. Estos intrépidos viajeros dejaron
constancia de todo aquello que iba
n conociendo en libros de viajes, relatos,
guías, etc. Irlanda tampoco se encontraba en el circuito del
Grand Tour
y
por ello no existe mucha literatura al respecto. No obstante hubo un viajero,
Richard Twiss, que viajó tanto por España como por Irlanda a
finales del
siglo XVIII. Twiss, de ascendencia inglesa, se crió en Holanda pero dedicó
su vida a viajar y narrar sus experiencias en sus visitas a las ciudades más
importantes del continente. Asimismo se dirigió a España y Portugal y a
Irlanda, fruto de lo
cual son los libros
Travels
through Portugal and Spain in
1772 and 1773
y
Tour in Ireland in 1775
.
Este trabajo tiene como objetivo presentar la imagen que Twiss ofrece
sobre ambos países en cuanto a sus culturas, sociedad, costumbres
y tradiciones
y pri
ncipales ciudades y mostrar las similitudes y diferencias que
el autor nos presenta con respecto a los dos países.
Travel books allow readers to learn about those places described. Although Spain was not part of the 18 th century itinerary named Grand Tour, it aro used the interest of some travel ers who travelled around the country in order to learn something about that unknown lan d.
