«La tesis de Nancy» is the humorous novel by Ramón J. Sender, published by Editorial Bambú in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Nancy, an American student, arrives in Seville to document a thesis on Gypsy culture and finds a Spain oscillating between tradition and modernity. Her estrangement from the local language and customs generates comic scenes and reveals, with irony, the country's clichés and contradictions.
First installment of the «Nancy» series. The work was originally published in 1962; this 2012 edition is part of the «Clásicos castellanos» collection.
For young readers aged 15 and up and for those who enjoy an ironic, costumbrista view of Spain.
