Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Three Weeks in France Emerson speaks of the gad-fly of curiosity which animates the traveler. Sewell Ford, equally entomological in his etymology, would probably call it a "bug." Whatever the cause, the effect is as widespread as humanity and the manifestations are as varied as the human beings which it animates. Some, endowed with health, energy and imagination, seek the north pole and return damaged in health but with energy unimpaired and imagination working overtime. Others seek glory at the lion´s mouth or shin up mountain sides in the proud hope that some day a tombstone will be erected over a few shreds of cloth and three or four buttons that once encased their manly forms. At their obsequies, weeping friends are permitted to view remnants instead of remains. Yet others seek the gay life of the Continental bathing beaches where the seashore is becoming more and more the see-shore. Whatever form their activity takes, the underlying motive is afterwards to find an audience and tell of their adventures.
