About This Book

A middle-aged narrator recounts a wide-ranging European tour led by a friend, moving from British cities through Paris and the Riviera to Italy, Switzerland, Germany, and Holland. Along the way he records vivid impressions of urban life, art, architecture, cafés, galleries, and religious sites, notes encounters with memorable personalities, and contrasts manners, class, and public customs. Episodes range from leisurely promenades and museum visits to sensory scenes at Monte Carlo and smoky industrial districts, while reflective asides consider art, literary taste, and the altered perspective that travel brings at forty.
