descriptif du fournisseur
"British Highways and Byways from a Motor Car" by Thomas Dowler Murphy offers a detailed account of a five-thousand-mile journey through England, Wales, and Scotland, undertaken in the early 20th century. The narrative is not a conventional guidebook but rather a personal chronicle that captures the essence of British landscapes, towns, and historical sites as experienced from the vantage point of a motor car. Murphy begins his journey in London, navigating the challenges of city traffic before venturing into the countryside. The author highlights the advantages of motor travel, such as the ability to explore less accessible areas and the freedom to deviate from well-trodden paths. The book provides insights into the cultural and historical significance of various locations, including Stratford-on-Avon, Canterbury, and Rochester, while also reflecting on the evolving infrastructure and hospitality services catering to motorists. Murphy's observations are enriched by his encounters with local residents and his appreciation for the picturesque scenery, which he describes with vivid detail. The narrative is complemented by illustrations and maps, enhancing the reader's understanding of the journey's scope. Murphy's work serves as both a travelogue and a reflection on the transformative impact of the motor car on tourism and exploration in Britain.
