After World War II; Norman Lewis returned to Spain and settled in the remote fishing village of Farol; on what is now Costa Brava. Voices of the Old Sea describes his three successive summers in that almost medieval community where life revolved around the seasonal sardine catches; Alcade's bar; and satisfying feuds with neighboring villages. It's lucky Lewis was there when he was. Soon after; Spain was discovered by its neighbors in a more prosperous northern Europe; and the tourist tide that ensued flowed inexorably over the old ways of the town and its inhabitants.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Integration in major league baseballBy Mike BentonShows how hard it was to make it to the major league being an American black as people from other countries with no more talent were given the chance. Racism sure was there and still is. The book had much research done on many great black players and was well written ;with pictures to show some of the greatest stars of baseball. Showed how baseball was about money even in the old days and was good entertainment for many people even in war time if played. Thanks Robert McGregor for putting great effort in this book.
