Sinopsis

A Girl?s Ride in Iceland is a travelogue written by Mrs. Alec Harley Tweedie, first published in 1895. The book chronicles the author?s journey through Iceland, which she undertook with her husband and a group of fellow tourists in the summer of 1894. The book is divided into chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of the journey, including the author?s impressions of Reykjavik, the capital city of Iceland, and the surrounding countryside. She describes the landscape in detail, including the country?s famous geysers, waterfalls, glaciers, and volcanoes. In addition to her observations of the natural world, Tweedie also provides insights into Icelandic culture and society, including the country?s history, language, and customs. She meets and interacts with many locals, including farmers, fishermen, and merchants, and shares their stories and perspectives. Throughout the book, Tweedie?s writing is marked by a sense of adventure and curiosity, as well as a deep appreciation for the beauty and uniqueness of Iceland. Her descriptions are vivid and evocative, and the book offers a fascinating glimpse into a time and place that was relatively unknown to most readers at the time of its publication. Overall, A Girl?s Ride in Iceland is a charming and engaging travelogue that will appeal to anyone with an interest in Iceland, travel writing, or the history of exploration and adventure.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
