Europe Revised is a travelogue written by Irvin S. Cobb, an American journalist, humorist, and author. The book is a collection of essays and articles that Cobb wrote about his travels in Europe during the early 20th century. In the book, Cobb shares his observations and experiences as he travels through various European countries, including England, France, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland. He writes about the people he meets, the places he visits, and the customs and traditions he encounters. Cobb’s writing style is witty and humorous, and he often pokes fun at the quirks and idiosyncrasies of the Europeans he encounters. However, he also shows a deep appreciation for the beauty and history of the continent, and his descriptions of famous landmarks and cultural sites are vivid and engaging. Overall, Europe Revised is a charming and entertaining travelogue that offers a unique perspective on Europe during a time of great change and upheaval.Riding behind Pearl you uttered the talismanic word in the thinnest thread of a whisper and instantly she stopped. You could spell Whoa! on your fingers, and she would stop. You could take a pencil and a piece of paperout of your pocket and write down Whoa!--and she would stop; but, compared with a sample assortment of these cabaret satellites, Pearl would have seemed deaf as a post. Clear across a hundred-foot dance-hall they catch the sound of a restless dollar turning over in the fob pocket of an American tourist.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
