Excerpt from Letters From France: Containing Observations Made in That Country During a Journey From Calais to the South, as Far as Limoges
I have been scrupulously exact in my relation of facts. I dis missed, as far as possible, all prejudice from my mind; and if I have pretty generally spoken of France as a country far inferior to England, it is not only because 1 wish it to be far inferior; but also because, I really believe it to be such.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a vivid, first-hand account of rural France in the 1820s. It is based on letters the author meticulously penned to his father, detailing his travels across the country. Traveling by stagecoach, on horseback, and even by boat, the author saw a land and people in transition, a France still reeling from both revolution and Napoleonic wars. The letters reveal the author's keen eye for both the beauty and hardship of rural life, and his frank observations on French culture, politics, and society. With wit and a sharp pen, the author critiques social norms, infrastructure, and economic inequality while reveling in the warmth and hospitality of the French people. Readers will delight in the author's rich descriptions of small towns, countryside landscapes, and the daily lives of ordinary French citizens. Through the author's eyes, we gain a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era and a deeper understanding of the forces that shaped modern France.
