Publisher's Synopsis
An Inland Voyage is a travelogue written by the famous Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. The book describes his journey by canoe through the canals and rivers of Belgium and France in 1876 with his friend Sir Walter Grindlay Simpson. The book is divided into chapters, each of which describes a different section of their journey. Stevenson's writing style is vivid and descriptive, and he captures the scenery, people, and culture of the places he visits with great detail. He also reflects on the nature of travel itself and the joys and challenges it presents. Throughout the book, Stevenson and Simpson encounter various obstacles, including rough weather, difficult navigation, and uncooperative locals. However, they also have many memorable experiences, such as meeting interesting characters, sampling local cuisine, and exploring historic landmarks. An Inland Voyage is a charming and entertaining account of a unique travel experience, written by one of the most beloved writers of the 19th century. It offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era and the joys and challenges of travel in a time before modern transportation.THE rain took off near Laeken.
