About the author
Claude Farrère
164 books12 followersClaude Farrère, pseudonym of Frédéric-Charles Bargone, was a French author of novels set in such exotic locations as Istanbul, Saigon & Nagasaki. One of his novels, Les civilisés (The Civilized) won the 1st Prix Goncourt, for 1905. He was elected for a chair at the Académie Française on 3/26/35. Initially, however, he imitated his father, an infantry colonel who served in the French colonies: enlisting with the naval academy in 1894, he was made lieutenant in 1906 & was promoted to captain during 1918. He resigned in 1919 to concentrate on his writing career.
His works have become largely disfavoured, even by French readers. To date, fewer than five websites on the World Wide Web offer his works, and fewer than 100 websites give him even a cursory mention.

Невредное развлекательное страноведение такое, довольно поверхностный, но забавный травелог с обширными цитатами из Пьера Лоти. Извод этакого неглупого журнального чтива для барышень, недаров автор к ним все время обращается. А что все очень поверхностно - так это ж не трактат.
Бог знает, что было в оригинале, но перевод довольно живой и «не-советский», по крайней мере, голос рассказчика слышен.
