It details his journey with his friend Harris, a fictional character based on his real friend Joseph Twichell, through central and southern Europe.

Sneak Peek “”These things will help the reader to understand why it is that a man who keeps company with glaciers comes to feel tolerably insignificant by and by. The Alps and the glaciers together are able to take every bit of conceit out of a man and reduce his self-importance to zero if he will only remain within the influence of their sublime presence long enough to give it a fair and reasonable chance to do its work.. “” synopsis It is a classic walking travel through Europe book, detailing his journey through south-western Germany, Switzerland, eastern France, and northern Italy.
