A Little Tour in France

Más información sobre el libro

The travelog captures Henry James's six-week exploration of provincial France, highlighting cities such as Tours, Bourges, and Toulouse. With an easygoing and witty narrative style, he emphasizes the charm of rural life and the allure of ancient cathedrals and castles. Rather than generalizing, James focuses on vivid descriptions and personal observations, reflecting his admiration for the provinces. Initially serialized in The Atlantic Monthly, it later saw an updated edition with illustrations, reinforcing his intent to celebrate the essence of France beyond Paris.
