Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Troubadours at Home: Their Lives and Personalities, Their, Songs and Their World Done at last, thank heaven, with crusades and battles and massacres and all the rest of the Albigensian troubles. Albi and the south lie now behind us, our faces are toward the north, and our thoughts turn to the famous troubadours awaiting us there. Yet we are not quite done, after all. No more horrors threaten us, but just here we stumble upon the comic side of these terrible events; for the tragedies of real life have a strange way of edging now and then into farce. The farce opens rather oddly. We stand on a sharp knob of rock and earth overlooking a village on the edge of Auvergne. It must always have been attractive, this Vic-sur-Cere - for we see here yet a one-time residence of the prince of Monaco, shorn of its outer beauties by the patriots of ´93 - and at present the town is getting its name up as a regulation summer-resort. Circulars expatiate upon its mineral springs and its gorge. Chromo-lithographs picture its mountain in all the waiting-rooms of the railroad system. Progress is beginning to lavish benign influences upon it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
