Here, in this little-read collection of letters from his travels, Cooper shares his wry insights on life as an American abroad for readers back home. Unappreciated as a travel writer, Cooper turns his keen eye upon: . custom-house civility . fashion in America and English costume . London pickpockets . horse-racing in Paris . ladies in coffee-houses . diplomatic etiquette . English prejudice against Americans . the gardens of Versailles . on being presented at foreign courts . Continental manners . and much more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Fenimore Cooper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1602068135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781602068131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosimo Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.70d","brand":"James Fenimore Cooper","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965829693695,"sku":"9781602068131","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_77e2410e-c4b2-4dca-8b6a-b6360d59f5a1.jpg?v=1767285121","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/recollections-of-europe-james-fenimore-cooper-9781602068131","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
