Publisher's Synopsis
From Ponkapog To Pesth And An Old Town By The Sea is a collection of travel essays written by American author Thomas Bailey Aldrich and published in 1911. The book is divided into two parts: the first part contains essays on Aldrich's travels to various European cities, including Paris, Venice, and Pesth (now Budapest), while the second part focuses on his experiences in Ponkapog, a small town in Massachusetts. In the first part of the book, Aldrich describes his travels through Europe, including his impressions of the cities he visited, the people he met, and the sights he saw. He writes about the beauty of Paris, the grandeur of Venice, and the charm of Pesth, among others. Aldrich's writing is vivid and descriptive, and he brings each city to life with his descriptions of the architecture, the art, and the culture.The second part of the book is a series of essays about Aldrich's experiences in Ponkapog, a small town where he spent his summers. He describes the town's history, its people, and its natural beauty, as well as the many activities and events that take place there during the summer months. Aldrich's writing is nostalgic and sentimental, and he clearly has a deep affection for the town and its inhabitants.Overall, From Ponkapog To Pesth And An Old Town By The Sea is a charming and engaging collection of travel essays that provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 20th century travel and the experiences of one American writer as he explores both the familiar and the exotic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
