Beskrivelse af Round My House
Round My House: Notes Of Rural Life In France In Peace And War is a book written by Philip Gilbert Hamerton, first published in 1877. It is a collection of essays that provide a detailed and vivid account of the author's experiences living in rural France during both times of peace and war. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which focuses on the author's life in the French countryside prior to the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. Hamerton describes the landscape, the people, and the customs of the region with great affection and attention to detail. He also provides insights into the challenges and joys of living in a rural community, including his experiences as a farmer and his interactions with his French neighbors.The second part of the book is devoted to the author's experiences during the Franco-Prussian War, which lasted from 1870 to 1871. Hamerton provides a first-hand account of the conflict, describing the impact of the war on his community and his own personal experiences as an Englishman living in France during a time of great upheaval. He also reflects on the broader political and social implications of the war, including its impact on Franco-British relations and the future of Europe.Overall, Round My House is a fascinating and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on rural life in France during the late 19th century, as well as a firsthand account of one of the most significant conflicts of the era. It is a must-read for anyone interested in French history, rural life, or the impact of war on civilian populations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
