On Blue Water
Edmondo de Amicis
Paperback
(Forgotten Books, Dec. 2, 2017)
Excerpt from On Blue WaterIt has been well said that the beauty Of De Amicis' travels is that they are more than travels. They are not merely the record Of so many passages a day; they are travellings plus seeings, listenings, feelings, thinkings, talkings, love-makings - all that a warm hearted, imaginative, educated young tourist would engage in; yet they are told without displeasing egotism or tedious detail.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
