Résumé
"From The Thames To The Tiber" by J. Wardle is a travelogue that chronicles the author's journey from London to Rome, capturing the essence of early 20th-century European travel. The narrative begins with the author and his wife departing from London, highlighting the city's vastness and commercial vibrancy. Their journey takes them through Paris, where they explore iconic landmarks such as the Louvre and Notre Dame Cathedral, and reflect on the city's tumultuous history, including the massacre of St.
Bartholomew. The couple continues to Dijon, appreciating its serene beauty and historical significance, before venturing through the Mont Cenis Tunnel into Italy. In Italy, they experience the grandeur of Genoa and the historical depth of Rome. The Colosseum and the Roman Forum are vividly described, evoking the glory and brutality of ancient Rome. The narrative is interspersed with personal anecdotes, reflections on historical events, and interactions with fellow travelers, providing a rich tapestry of cultural and historical insights.
Wardle's account is not just a travel diary but a reflection on the enduring legacy of European civilization, its architectural marvels, and the historical narratives that continue to shape the continent's identity.
