Edition by David Price "Lavengro: The Scholar, the Gypsy, the Priest" by George Borrow is a semi-autobiographical novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative weaves together themes of identity, adventure, and the exploration of life through the eyes of the main character, who is often referred to as Lavengro, with encounters and interactions with a diverse array of characters including a scholar, a gypsy, and a priest. It is a rich tapestry of Borrow’s experiences, thoughts, and reflections as he navigates his own journey through the world. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the protagonist and outlines his lineage and upbringing, establishing a backdrop steeped in significance. The protagonist reflects on his family history, including his father's military career and his mother's Huguenot heritage, while also contemplating his own nature in contrast to that of his brother. There are hints of his secluded attitude as a child, his struggles with communication, and some uncanny encounters that shape his early years. With a keen observational eye, he describes memorable and vibrant scenes from his childhood—such as his family's domestic life, accidental encounters with intriguing figures, and the idyllic yet poignant landscapes of his youth. This beginning sets the tone for a narrative that promises rich character exploration and insight into the human experience, making it an enticing read for those interested in literary adventure and personal growth.
