Product Overview
Dagonet Abroad is a first-person travel memoir chronicling journeys through France, Spain, North Africa, and parts of Central Europe in the late 19th century. Through sharply observed scenes and humorous anecdotes, the narrator reflects on people, customs, and cultures with journalistic wit. From street life in Bordeaux to carnival in Bayonne, and from the quiet dignity of Basque villagers to the grandeur of imperial cities like Vienna and Rome, these essays form a vibrant portrait of a continent on the cusp of modernity.
Formatted in short, chapter-like columns, the book blends lively travel writing with social observation and personal narrative. Originally serialized in newspapers, these collected sketches retain the immediacy of journalism and the warmth of firsthand experience.
