"The Sunny South: An Autumn in Spain and Majorca" by Captain J. W. Clayton is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book explores various locations in Spain and Majorca, capturing the author's experiences and observations as he travels through these regions. It provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes, cultural encounters, and historical references, emphasizing the contrasts of beauty and hardship encountered along the journey. The opening of the narrative introduces us to the author and his companions as they set sail from England towards sunny Spain, a trip coinciding with the return of followers of Maximilian of Mexico. This moment is marked by the juxtaposition of their dire circumstances against the backdrop of the hopeful voyage. The author reflects on the scenes of devastation among the returning soldiers while contrasting it with the beauty of the landscapes they are set to explore, particularly the ancient city of Rouen, where he reminisces about the lingering history and architecture that tells the stories of past eras. Through his observations, the reader begins to gain insight into the tone of the book, which blends a keen awareness of the historical weight of the locations with a personal and reflective narrative style.
