Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Three Pleasant Springs in Portugal ´So you have been to Portugal! How very interesting!´ was the exclamation of a friend; and he added, ´Portugal is a country one hears nothing about, nowadays: why is that?´ Why, indeed? I have often wondered; for Portugal is not an unexplored corner of the ´ dark continent´: its position is clearly defined on the map of Europe; and it is but a couple of days´ steam from our shores. While even statesmen, whose knowledge of geography is apt to be more extensive than profound, have been known to refer to it as ´our ancient ally,´ - a compliment, by the way, which gives mortal offence. For the fidalgos of Lusitania scorn the idea of ever having stood in need of help, much less of alliance with an effete and perfidious power like Great Britain; they even affect to regard us with aversion.
