Synopsis

Great boats are moored in the Southern Basin, each with two head ropes to a buoy, so that the front of them makes a kind of entanglement such as is used to defend the front of a position in warfare.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Hills And The Sea, first published in 1906 to critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic, is a collection of 38 essays spanning several periods of time and travel. In brief yet rich prose, Belloc captures the essence of each place he visits--whether on the gloomy English Fens, or the sunny Provence and Languedoc regions of France, or the sunny Provence and Languedoc regions of France, or the North Sea in a leaky boat.

About the Author

Joseph Hilaire Pierre René Belloc (27 July 1870 – 16 July 1953) was an Anglo-French writer and historian who became a naturalised British subject in 1902. He was one of the most prolific writers in England during the early twentieth century. He was known as a writer, orator, poet, satirist, man of letters and political activist. He is most notable for his Catholic faith, which had a strong impact on most of his works and his writing collaboration with G. K. Chesterton. He was President of the Oxford Union and later MP for Salford from 1906 to 1910. He was a noted disputant, with a number of long-running feuds, but also widely regarded as a humane and sympathetic man.
