Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Two Years in the French West Indies During a trip to the Lesser Antilles in the summer of 1887, the writer of the following pages, landing at Martinique, fell under the influence of that singular spell which the island has always exercised upon. strangers, and by which it has earned its poetic name, - Le Pays des Revenants. Even as many another before him, he left its charmed shores only to know himself haunted by that irresistible regret, - unlike any other, - which is the enchantment of the land upon all who wander away from it. So he returned, intending to remain some months; but the bewitchment prevailed, and he remained two years. Some of the literary results of that sojourn form the bulk of the present volume. Several, or portions of several, papers have been published in Harper´s Magazine; but the majority of the sketches now appear in print for the first time.
