Autobiography, Vol. 12: A Collection of the Most Instructive and Amusing Lives Ever Published; With Brief Introductions, and Compendious Sequels ... to the Death of Each Writer (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book is a part autobiography, part travelogue by a Norwegian scholar who lived during the 18th century. Focusing on the author's experiences as he traveled through Europe, the book provides not only a lively account of the difficulties and pleasures of travel during that era, but also a unique insight into the academic culture of the time. The author discusses his motivations and ambitions, providing a lens into the intellectual and social values of his peers. He recounts a variety of amusing anecdotes that reveal his own personality and character, as well as the social mores of the places he visited. Through it all, the book provides a picture of a man who was deeply committed to learning and who was fascinated by the differences and similarities he encountered in the many cultures he experienced.
