Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Commercial Tourist Or Gentleman Traveler: A Satirical Poem, In Four Cantos (1822) is a work of literature by Charles William Hempel. The book is a satirical poem that is divided into four cantos. The poem is a commentary on the commercialization of travel during the early 19th century. Hempel uses humor and wit to criticize the behavior of the ""commercial tourist"" or the businessman who travels for business purposes. The poem also pokes fun at the ""gentleman traveler"" or the wealthy traveler who travels for leisure. Through his satire, Hempel highlights the absurdity of the travel industry and the societal norms surrounding travel during his time. The book is a unique and entertaining read for those interested in literature and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
