Sinopse

In Travels Through France and Italy , Tobias Smollett offers a sharp-witted and often acerbic account of his 1765 journey across continental Europe. Written in the form of letters, the narrative captures Smollett’s observations on the customs, manners, politics, and social conditions of France and Italy during the mid-18th century. With little patience for foreign eccentricities or perceived backwardness, Smollett delivers biting commentary on everything from French cuisine and Italian architecture to medical practices and local superstitions. Though often critical and biased, his travelogue provides a vivid and historically rich portrait of Enlightenment-era Europe through the eyes of a skeptical, opinionated Englishman. Combining satire with cultural insight, it remains a classic of early travel literature.
