Beskrivelse af From Ponkapog To Pesth (1884)
From Ponkapog to Pesth is a travelogue written by Thomas Bailey Aldrich, an American poet and novelist. The book was first published in 1884 and recounts Aldrich's travels through Europe and Asia in the late 1800s. The title refers to the two destinations that bookend his journey: Ponkapog, a small town in Massachusetts where Aldrich lived, and Pesth (now known as Budapest), the capital of Hungary.The book is divided into several chapters, each detailing Aldrich's experiences in different countries and cities. He begins by describing his departure from Ponkapog and his voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to Liverpool, England. From there, he travels to London, Paris, and other major European cities, taking in the sights and sounds of each location and offering his impressions of the people and culture.Aldrich then embarks on a more adventurous leg of his journey, traveling through Russia and into Asia. He visits cities such as Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Constantinople, and describes the exotic landscapes and customs he encounters along the way. The book concludes with Aldrich's return to Ponkapog, where he reflects on his travels and the lessons he has learned.Throughout From Ponkapog to Pesth, Aldrich's writing is characterized by his wit, humor, and keen observations of the world around him. He offers a unique perspective on the cultures and societies he encounters, and his travelogue remains a fascinating glimpse into the world of the late 1800s.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
