Hilaire Belloc visits cities in Spain, Portugal, North Africa, France and the Rhine region, reading their streets and buildings through the histories that shaped them. His travel essays combine observation with reflections on architecture, memory and the survival of older cultures within modern towns.
The itinerary ranges from Saragossa and Salamanca to Carthage, Le Mans, Metz and Tournai, before ending with towns associated with the themes of life and death. Edmond L. Warre’s illustrations accompany the descriptions. This complete 1928 volume retains its full sequence of thirty-four chapters and original artwork.
