This brimming account of European travel and culture in the early 19th century follows the adventures of a young Englishman named James Maltravers after his scandalous return from a duel. Obliged to abandon his country under a cloud of deceit, scorn, and possible legal repercussions, James sets off on a perilous sea voyage to France with the aim of continuing on to Italy. Accompanying him is a colorful and garrulous fellow traveler, an eccentric painter with an inexhaustible supply of tales, a sharp wit, and a skeptical outlook on life. The pair quickly form a bond, forged by their chance encounter and strengthened by their shared hardships in the face of the elements. Through James' eyes, we witness the stark beauty of the voyage as well as the lavish grandeur of coastal cities and their cultural treasures. The author deftly evokes the time, place, and challenges of travel during this period, when the journey itself was as dramatic and unpredictable as the destinations.
