Description:
"Traduced by malice, persecuted by fiction, abandoned by false patrons, and over-whelmed by the sense of a domestic calamity", Tobias Smollett set off on a journey through France and Italy to relieve his despair. While there, he wrote regularly to his friends, who had asked Smollett to keep records of inns, prices, and methods of transport should they wish to make the tour themselves someday. Smollett more than obliges them and the result is this fascinating, wholeheartedly personal account of places and people in France and Italy.
Expand description
Full of prejudice, grousing, sharp observation, and caustic satire, it is the first travel book in modern literature to go beyond the simple conveyance of information to reflect the writer's state of mind.
