Synopsis

Excerpt from Le Tour de la France par Deux Enfants The success in France of Bruno's Le Tour de la France par Deux Enfants has been unprecedented, and, after enjoying the rare distinction of three hundred editions, it still preserves its popularity. In few books, indeed, are the useful and the pleasant so cleverly combined. While relating the touching story and the thrilling adventures of two children bent upon the fulfillment of the supreme request of their dying father, the chief aim of the author is to make his young readers acquainted with France, the general aspect of her soil, her agricultural and industrial resources, and some of the great men in whom she glories. He endeavors, at the same time, to awaken their nobler instincts, and strengthen in their hearts the love of virtue and the worship of their dear country. Even in the hands of foreign pupils, this book loses but little of its native charm. The style, easy and unpretending, makes it admirably suited to students who begin the regular reading of a connected text, and the narrative, carried on mostly in the dialogue form, and full of colloquial terms, affords ready subjects of conversation. In this edition, about one-fourth of the original text has been omitted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
