A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from By the Waters of Germany

Thirteen years ago Norma Lorimer wrote "By the Waters of Sicily," which has the fragrance of "Ships that Pass in the Night," and is the most human and delightful book ever written about Sicily. It was followed by "By the Waters of Carthage," "By the Waters of Egypt," and "By the Waters of Italy" - the first two notable books with their stories strengthened, one by the clever study of the Mohammedan religion and institutions, and the other by a deeper study of the religions and institutions of Ancient Egypt.

The latest book in this delightful series, "By the Waters of Germany," is on an entirely different scheme. The waters are there - the historic waters of the Rhine, and Pegnitz, and the Tauber. The reader is hardly ever out of sight of a river, but the book, instead of being the outcome of a lengthy pilgrimage, is the record of a summer holiday on which Miss Lorimer went with a young German girl who was returning to her Fatherland. It shows for how little money a most delightful holiday may be taken in Germany.
