Motor-Flight Through France Zusammenfassung

Motor-Flight Through France Edith Wharton

Shedding the turn-of-the-century social confines she felt existed for women in America, Edith Wharton set out in the newly invented motor-car to explore the cities and countryside of France. In A Motor-Flight Through France, originally published in 1908, Wharton combines the power of her prose, her love for travel, and her affinity for France to produce this compelling travelogue.

The introduction analyzes Wharton's use of the genre of travel writing and places Wharton's work in the context of her life and times.

Motor-Flight Through France Bewertungen

Wharton's reflections will still charm those who've been and those who dream. A nice addition to American literature as well as travel collections.

* Library Journal *

Those who have been charmed with Mrs. Wharton's novels will not be disappointed by her venture into the unfamiliar role of a travel writer.

* New York Times *

A portrait of a long-forgotten France, a country that, when Wharton ranged over it in her 1904 Panhard-Levassor, was largely unchanged from medieval times.

* New York Times Book Review *
