An account of Taine's travels in the Pyrenees, along the coast, the vally of Ossau, the valley of Luz, Bagneres and Luchon. Hippolyte Adolphe Taine (21 April 1828 - 5 March 1893) was a French critic and historian and was the chief theoretical influence of French naturalism. From introduction: "This, my dear Marcelin, is a trip to the Pyrenees; I have been there, and that is a praiseworthy circumstance; many writers, including some of the longest-winded, have described these scenes without leaving home. I have not been the first to scale any inaccessible mountain; I have broken neither leg nor arm; I have not been eaten by the bears; I have neither saved any English heiress from being swept away by the Gave, nor yet have I married one; I have not been present at a single duel; my experiences include no tragic encounter with brigands or smugglers. I have walked much, and talked a little, and now I recount the pleasures of my eyes and ears." Typographie A Lahure, Rue de Fleurus, 9, Paris. 536 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall. Dore, Gustave (illustrator). …
