Item description from seller

27 pages. This retrospective essay revisits William Lithgow’s Totall Discourse of 1640 - a sprawling, eccentric record of nineteen years spent roaming through Europe, Asia, and Africa. The reviewer delights in Lithgow’s blend of vivid observation, moralising digression, and unabashed self-drama, tracing his progress from Scottish beginnings through Italy, Venice, Dalmatia, the Levant, and beyond. Particular attention is given to his encounters with local customs, religious rites, and the “rare adventures” that punctuate his narrative, culminating in the harrowing account of his torture by the Inquisition at Malaga and his improbable escape. The article treats Lithgow as both witness and performer: a traveller whose sharp eye, strong prejudices, and inexhaustible stamina make his book a curious but compelling window onto the early seventeenth-century world. An authentic standalone article, extracted from a larger volume. Not a reprint or reproduction, but an original work in its own right. Preserved in a modern card cover, prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 18 x 26 cms. Category: Retrospective Review; Cosmo Books : 29 years on ABE, 47 years taking care of customers. A bookseller you can rely on. Softcover (Booklet - Unbound Pages).
