Visit to Don Otavio Bedford Sybille
Mexico, through the eyes of Sybille Bedford is a country of passion and paradox: arid desert and shrieking jungle, harsh sun and deep shadow, violence and sentimentality. But it is the charmed world of Don Otavio which steals our imagination. In her frank descriptions of the horrors of travel - through bug-infested jungle, trapped in a broiling stationary train, or in a bus with a dead fish slapping against her face - she gains our trust.
She stays in his crumbling ancestral mansion, living a life of provincial ease and observing with glee the intense life of a Mexican He is, she says, "one of the kindest men I ever met".
