Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an account of a journey through Italy and Switzerland in 1816-17 and discusses the scenery, culture, and politics of the regions visited. The book is particularly concerned with the political turmoil of the period, including the aftermath of Napoleon's downfall and the restoration of the old order in many parts of Europe. The author saw the chaos of the Valais, the desolation of parts of Italy, and was able to traverse the Simplon shortly after its completion. The author's descriptions extend to not only what he sees, but the history and tales associated with landmarks and places he visits. The book is a useful historical account of the period and offers insights into the complex social and political history of the time.
