The narrative chronicles Borrow's experiences as he embarks on a mission to circulate the Scriptures in Spain and Portugal, shedding light on a little-known aspect of religious outreach in these regions. Through a blend of personal anecdotes and observations, Borrow provides insights into the culture, politics, and religious challenges faced during his journey. The opening of the book draws readers into Borrow's adventurous spirit as he recounts his arrival in Portugal, complete with vivid descriptions of Lisbon's intricate streets and monumental architecture. The narrative reflects his initial impressions, mixed with cultural observations, such as the people's ignorance of the Scriptures and a lack of enthusiasm for education. As he explores various towns, Borrow encounters diverse characters, including peasants and priests, while contemplating the broader implications of his mission in a country steeped in tradition and superstition. His determination to distribute the Bible amidst these challenges sets the foundation for a gripping exploration of faith and cultural exchange, inviting readers to understand his quest and the historical context in which it takes place.
