A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'Today, the French Riviera welcomes ten million visitors a year. Tobias Smollett was one of the first of them, and his Travels through France and Italy marked the beginning of the region's metamorphosis - from diversion to destination.' --Ted Jones

'It is the work of a scholar, an observer of human nature, and a satirist of no mean order. It gives us characteristic social vignettes, portraits of the road of an unsurpassed freshness and clearness. It contains some historical and geographical observations worthy of one of the shrewdest and most sagacious publicists of the day.' --Thomas Seccombe, in the original introduction to Travels through France and Italy
