Europe Revised (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162661889)

Europe Revised is a travelogue written by Irvin S. Cobb, an American author and humorist, about his experiences traveling through Europe in the early 20th century. The book is a collection of essays that were originally published in various American magazines, and they recount Cobb's observations, impressions, and opinions of the different countries and cultures he encountered. Cobb's writing style is witty and engaging, and he brings a unique perspective to his travels as an American outsider. He visits popular tourist destinations like Paris, Rome, and London, but also explores lesser-known areas of Europe, such as the Balkans and Scandinavia. Throughout the book, Cobb reflects on the history, art, architecture, and people of each place he visits. He also shares humorous anecdotes and personal experiences, making the book both informative and entertaining. Overall, Europe Revised is a fascinating glimpse into the early 20th century European travel experience, as seen through the eyes of a witty and insightful American writer.Riding behind Pearl you uttered the talismanic word in the thinnest thread of a whisper and instantly she stopped. You could spell Whoa! on your fingers, and she would stop. You could take a pencil and a piece of paperout of your pocket and write down Whoa!--and she would stop; but, compared with a sample assortment of these cabaret satellites, Pearl would have seemed deaf as a post. Clear across a hundred-foot dance-hall they catch the sound of a restless dollar turning over in the fob pocket of an American tourist.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
