Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Ignoramuses: A Travel Story is a book written by Mrs. Schuyler Crowninshield and published in 1887. The book is a travelogue that follows the adventures of a group of American tourists as they journey through Europe. The tourists are described as ""ignoramuses"" because they are naive and lack knowledge about the places they visit.The book is divided into chapters that focus on different countries and cities, including France, Italy, and Switzerland. The tourists encounter various challenges and mishaps along the way, such as getting lost in unfamiliar cities, struggling with language barriers, and dealing with cultural differences.Despite these difficulties, the tourists are able to have fun and enjoy their travels. They visit famous landmarks, sample local cuisine, and meet interesting people. Along the way, they learn about the history and culture of the places they visit, and gain a greater appreciation for the world beyond their own borders.The Ignoramuses: A Travel Story is a humorous and entertaining account of travel in the late 19th century. It provides a glimpse into the attitudes and perspectives of American tourists during this time period, and offers insights into the challenges and rewards of travel.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
