BULGARIA. By Frank Fox.
This book will give to the reader an adequate idea of a wild and
little-known corner of Europe, but to those who look upon Bulgaria as a
place of endless massacres and savage inhospitality the book will bring
many surprises. The Bulgarian artist shows us a land in which
civilisation is evident and art not unknown. The Australian author (who
was with the Bulgarian Army as correspondent for the London _Morning
Post_ during the former Balkan War) writes of a people whom he found
usually courteous, gentle, and worthy. His personal experiences of the
Bulgarian peasantry are vividly interesting, and hardly less interesting
is the brief sketch of the early history of Bulgaria, the country where
the Roman Empire met its doom.
ITALY. By Frank Fox.
Messrs. A. & C. Black have published many books on the various cities of
Italy with colour illustrations. But before this they have not offered
to the public a handy volume giving a general idea of the country which
was the cradle of Christian civilisation. Whether to tourists who
contemplate a visit to Italy or to those who cannot hope for that
pleasure, _Italy_ will be welcome. The author has left to the vivid
pictures the main task of describing Italian scenery, and devoted most
of his text to telling of the spirit of the people and showing how the
Italy of to-day is linked up with the Italy of the Roman Republic and
the Italy of the Renaissance.
SWITZERLAND. By Frank Fox.
