Romany Rye is the autobiographical tale of George Borrow and his travels with the gypsies. Translated from the Romany, Rye means “young gentleman,” and Borrow is the fascinating Romany Rye of this story. Early in the story, he meets a jockey who is astonished to have met him, saying his reputation exceeds him. According to the jockey, the gypsies “never heard a bad word proceed from [his] mouth, and never knew [him] do a bad thing.” This travelogue brims with adventure stories and with cultural lessons.
Autoren-Porträt von George Borrow
George Borrow (1803-1881) led the life of a nomad, traveling through Europe as an agent for the Bible Society. The Norfolk-born writer traveled extensively through Russia and Spain from 1835 to 1839. The result was The Bible in Spain, which has become classic nineteenth-century travel literature. His love for gypsies and their language led to the autobiographical travel works Lavengro and Romany Rye. At thirty-seven years old he married an older widow and lived with her in Norfolk until his death.
