Project Gutenberg 2004-10-10 Public domain in the USA. 82 Warner, Charles Dudley 1829 1900 Saunterings Produced by David Widger "Saunterings" by Charles Dudley Warner is a collection of personal essays written during the late 19th century. The book reflects Warner's observations and musings as he journeys through various locations, particularly highlighting contrasts between places and cultures, while capturing the sentiments and experiences of travel. The opening portion of "Saunterings" begins with Warner addressing the reader regarding the nature of the journey he is about to embark on, humorously suggesting that he does not wish to mislead them into thinking it is an informative guide. Instead, he speaks candidly about the vastness and unpredictability of the Atlantic Ocean, using Christopher Columbus as a point of reflection on the history and significance of exploration. Warner expresses both admiration and skepticism about Columbus's achievements, revealing how such thoughts set the tone for his travels to Europe and beyond. As he transitions into his experiences in Paris and London, he begins to illustrate the differences in culture, environment, and social practices, weaving in personal anecdotes that reveal his perspective on the places he visits.
