Opis

Excerpt from The Deserts of Southern France, Vol. 1 of 2: An Introduction to the Limestone and Chalk Plateaux of Ancient Aquitaine AT an epoch when everyone travels, a book descriptive of travels, especially in so accessible a portion of Europe as South Central France, is out of place. The time for such books, recording passing impressions, has passed away for ever. The work now offered to the reader is accordingly nothing of this kind. It is a book of preparation for intending tourists, that they may be able to understand what they see, and see what otherwise they would pass unnoticed. Moreover, I wish to draw attention to a portion of Europe, no part of which, I believe, Italy and Greece excepted, is so rich to extravagance in objects of interest, and in scenes of extraordinary picturesqueness; a portion of Europe, moreover, which should arrest the attention of English people especially, as for three hundred years it belonged to the English crown. This portion of France, which was only accounted a portion of France at a comparatively late period, lies in a penumbra. It has been singularly neglected by French men, as well as by Englishmen. In the beautiful chapter that opens the second volume of his History. Of France. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
