A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In the case of the South of France, there can be no doubt, whatever the ill-natured may say, that M. Dumas did not travel through books alone, but that he has only described what he actually saw. He has been accused of presuming upon the ignorance of his readers, when writing of scenes of which they knew nothing; but in this instance he has told them of places and objects with which many of them have been familiar during their lives, and yet with every sentence he has told them something of which they have, doubtless, been but partially informed, or entirely ignorant. M. Dumas, in the following pages, alludes to those tourists who travel a thousand miles to view a wonder, while they have never observed a still greater wonder at their own doors. In fact, the work may be considered as, in some respects, a satire on this class of easy and comfortable persons. At all events, the writer proves, in a manner the most satisfactory, that useful travelling, like real charity, might begin at home.
