> Nul ne s'est regardé vivre plus minutieusement, avec plus de sollicitude, tout en cultivant avec plus de passion l'intensité vitale. Tout l'immédiat est là, et tout le successif, sensations, impressions, implusions, la trame et la chaîne du quotidien.
—Danieljean (Babelio) ( )

This is an excellent account of what travelling in Portugal and Spain was like in the late 18th century. Beckford wrote letters home at regular intervals and then collected them together for this book. He expected each letter to be passed round from one family member to another. You are left wondering about all the family relationships that emerge from the letters. A most enjoyable read.
