Riassunto

Pleasures and Landscapes is what happened to Mrs. Bedford when, at the height of her literary powers, she journeyed through France, Italy, Portugal, Yugoslavia, and the rest of Europe for Vogue, Esquire, and other magazines - eight classic essays on the art of travel that win her a place at the table with A. J. Liebling and M. F. K. Fisher.
