From the eroded gullies of Appalachia to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, through the gumbo of the Mississippi Delta and the muskegs of Maine ? and of course in the slums of every major American city ? they sniffed the stench of penury, tasted the grits and sowbelly of the poor man's kitchen, and listened to the anger and anomie that suffuse the voice of the poor.

James Michener first visited Spain as a chart boy aboard a freighter that hauled oranges from the eastern coast to the marmalade factories of Dundee. In the 35 years since then, he has returned repeatedly, both as a knockabout traveler and a rich tourist. In his book he makes no effort to prettify the country's problems or ignore its faults. As long as Spain remains ruled by the army, the landed families and the church, he sees scant hope of any dramatic social or industrial progress-although he does grant that there have been genuine advances in recent...
