"Winged Wheels in France" by Michael Myers Shoemaker is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. The book documents the author's journey through France in a rented automobile, describing the diverse landscapes, historical sites, and cultural experiences encountered along the way. The likely topic of the book revolves around the exploration of Southern France, with personal reflections on the places visited and the experiences had during this adventurous trip. At the start of the narrative, the author sets off from Monte Carlo, captivated by its beauty but acutely aware of the tragic undercurrents at the famous casino. Through the voice of the narrator, readers are introduced to his charming chauffeur, Jean, and his Japanese servant, Yama, as they begin their adventure traveling through picturesque locations such as Nice, Aix, and various ancient towns in Provence. The opening chapters blend vivid descriptions of the French countryside with historical anecdotes and reflections on the contrasts between the glamorous and the melancholic aspects of the places they visit. The author’s light-hearted but observant tone captures the essence of his journey while inviting readers to experience the romance and history of France through his eyes.
