Thomas McArthur (verified owner) –
Having looked up Ferdinand Gregorovius and being a lover of everything Italian, I was intrigued to read a Travelogue from so long ago, I have only read a few pages of the first chapter of volume 1:
‘“THE ROMAN COUNTRYSIDE
(1856)”.
I will say that the style is glorious to read, it’s as if one is wrapped in a warm blanket with a cup o’ tea and slippers on.
I also find that the quality of the ebook, the cover image, and the attention to detail as far as the translation is concerned is top-notch. Including an about the author section is appreciated.
So many ebooks are thrown together, So here’s your first review, thanks for the deal you offered on LinkedIn, without that I would probably never have come across this author.
I have an account with you now and look forward to new works, I will read this series and come back for more, what an interesting and enjoyable concept you have.
Regards. Thomas
