It is satisfying, and entirely in keeping with the mischievous
character of Norman Lewis, that his very last book, The Tomb in
Seville, is also his first. For the extraordinary set of
misadventures recounted in The Tomb of Seville were first described
in Norman Lewis's apprentice-work, Spanish Adventure, which he
rightly refused to have re-issued in later life. In 1934 he
travelled across the breadth of Spain into Morocco. The eve of the
murderous civil war. He was acting as both friend and
fellow-adventurer to his young brother-in-law, Eugene Corvaja, but
also as minder, charged by his Sicilian father-in-law with keeping
an eye on his son, who he knew to be a compassionate idealist
easily attracted to left-wing causes. Norman, of course, had his
own agenda, though the outward mission of this unlikely pair was to
locate the tomb of the last Spanish Corvaja in the Cathedral of
Seville. As an old man, he 'twice distilled' these powerful
lifelong memories to create a slim, sharpened text, with all the
bite of a vintage Norman Lewis. Other Norman Lewis titles published
by Eland: Jackdaw Cake, The Missionaries, Voices of the Old Sea, A
View of The World, Naples' 44, Dragon Apparent, Golden Earth, The
Honoured Society and The Empire of the East.
