Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""City and Country Life: Or Moderate Better Than Rapid Gains"" is a book written by Mary Ide Torrey in 1853. The book compares and contrasts the advantages and disadvantages of living in the city versus living in the country. Torrey argues that while the city may offer more opportunities for wealth and advancement, the country provides a simpler and healthier lifestyle. The book is divided into two parts. The first part discusses the benefits of living in the city, such as access to education, culture, and commerce. The second part explores the advantages of living in the country, such as fresh air, natural beauty, and a closer connection to nature. Throughout the book, Torrey emphasizes the importance of moderation and balance in life. She argues that while it is important to pursue success and wealth, it is equally important to prioritize one's health and well-being. ""City and Country Life"" provides a fascinating insight into the social and cultural attitudes of the mid-19th century. It is a thought-provoking read that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
