Bag om The Spirit Of France (1916)

The Spirit of France is a book written by Owen Johnson and published in 1916. It is a collection of essays that explore the essence of France and its people. Johnson, an American author and journalist, spent several years in France and developed a deep appreciation for its culture, history, and people. The book is divided into 14 chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of French life. Johnson examines French art, literature, architecture, cuisine, fashion, and more, providing insights into what makes France unique. He also delves into the country's history, from the reign of Louis XIV to the French Revolution and beyond. Throughout the book, Johnson celebrates the spirit of France, which he sees as a combination of passion, creativity, and independence. He praises the French for their love of beauty, their devotion to freedom, and their ability to find joy in life's simple pleasures. The Spirit of France is a tribute to a country that Johnson clearly adored. His writing is both informative and lyrical, capturing the essence of France in vivid detail. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in French culture and history, as well as for those who simply appreciate good writing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
