The Romany Rye a sequel to "Lavengro"

"The Romany Rye" by George Borrow is a continuation of "Lavengro," where the author, acting as the main character, meets and learns from Romani people. The book starts with Borrow thinking about his last book and some arguments about it, showing he feels responsible for what he writes. He then describes waking up outside, fixing a carriage, and talking to Romani characters like Belle and a postillion. These early scenes build up to the major themes, such as Borrow greatly respecting Romani culture while setting the scene for philosophical talks and looking at society with a critical eye, mixing adventure with deeper thinking.
