Brenan fue testigo perplejo y reflexivo de los inicios de la guerra civil española desde el pequeño pueblo de Yegen, en las Alpujarras de Granada, y en 1943 publica *El laberinto español*, un estudio sobre los antecedentes sociales y políticos del conflicto fratricida hispano. La obra, prohibida en España hasta 1978, fue publicada originalmente en español por la editorial Ruedo Ibérico de París.
*The Face of Spain* is an account halfway between a scholarly travel book and a confessional diary, narrating the journey of Gerald Brenan and Gamel Woolsey through central and southern Spain in 1949.
