Voices of the Old Sea

Rating:
Summary: A Defining of History.
Review: A remarkable book. In a pinch over two hundred pages Lewis has created that unique document which tells of the demise of one age and the dawn of the next. VOICES OF THE OLD SEA is the most rewarding piece of cultural anthropolgy that you're ever likely to read.

Rating:
Summary: This fine old book. . .
Review: describes a lost world--a tiny village on the Spanish Mediterranean coast subsisting on fishing and the harvesting of cork. The book is simple and evocative. The reader creates the tragedy himself or herself with the certain knowledge that Lewis is detailing a world, and way of life, that have now ceased to exist.

Rating:
Summary: Very very boring
Review: This was one of the most boring dully written books that I have ever read. While the events are not without interest; the change over 3 seasons of a village in Spain from being almost medievally backward to one being transformed by the onset of tourism, the characters are flat and unbelievable. Maybe if you like fishing it would appeal but otherwise I would steer clear. Sorry to be so negative
