Lavengro: The Scholar, The Gypsy, The Priest

by George Borrow

Lavengro is a largely autobiographical account of George Borrow's early life, describing his travels among the gypsies of England and his experiences as a missionary in Spain. Originally published in three volumes, the novel follows Borrow as he encounters a wide range of characters, from gypsy horse-dealers to Catholic priests. Along the way, he learns about the cultures and traditions of the people he meets, and grapples with his own beliefs and identity.
