Beskrivelse af Edingburgh Picturesque Notes
Edinburgh Picturesque Notes is a travelogue written by Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in 1878. It is a collection of essays that describe the author's personal experiences and observations of Edinburgh, Scotland. Stevenson's writing style is vivid and descriptive, capturing the essence of the city's history, architecture, culture, and people. The book is divided into ten chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of Edinburgh, including its Old Town, New Town, Castle, and Holyrood Palace. Throughout the book, Stevenson shares his love and admiration for the city, while also acknowledging its flaws and challenges. Edinburgh Picturesque Notes is a classic work of travel literature that continues to inspire visitors to explore this beautiful and historic city.Greyfriars is continually overrun by cats. I have seen one afternoon, as many as thirteen of them seated on the grass beside old Milne, the Master Builder, all sleek and fat, and complacently blinking, as if they had fed upon strange meats. Old Milne was chaunting with the saints, as we may hope, and cared little for the company about his grave; but I confess the spectacle had an ugly side for me; and I was glad to step forward and raise my eyes to where the Castle and the roofs of the Old Town.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
