| Summary | "Wild Spain (España agreste)" by Abel Chapman and Walter John Buck is a work of natural history and sportsman's memoir written in the late 19th century. The authors share their extensive experiences in exploring Spain, particularly focusing on the lesser-known regions and the rich biodiversity of the land. The book intricately intertwines hunting narratives with observations of wildlife and sketches of Spanish culture, making it a unique hybrid of adventure and natural history. The opening of "Wild Spain" sets the stage by painting a vivid portrait of the geographical and cultural contrasts within Spain, particularly highlighting the variety of climates and landscapes unique to the Iberian Peninsula. The authors introduce their pursuits as sportsman-naturalists, detailing their exploratory trips across the wild terrains of Andalucía, characterized as an "old-world corner of Europe." They discuss the challenges of navigating the rugged countryside, encounters with the local flora and fauna, and hint at the richness of experiences to come, including the thrill of hunting wild boar and the serene beauty of the natural world. The preface establishes their commitment to capturing both the sport and the untamed spirit of the landscape, inviting readers to join them on their adventures.
