1886 Under The Sun by George Augustus Sala Antique Literature Rare Book

Under The Sun - Essays Mainly Written In Hot Countries
By George Augustus Sala
Published by Vizetelly & Co: London 1886

"George Augustus Sala's Under the Sun - Essays Mainly Written in Hot Countries (Vizetelly & Co., London, 1886) is a lively collection of travel essays and social observations drawn from the author's journeys across the warmer regions of the world. Written with Sala's characteristic wit, erudition, and sharp eye for human character, the essays capture the sensations, discomforts, and delights of tropical life — from bustling colonial ports and sun-baked cities to the languid pace of Mediterranean and Eastern lands. His reflections often blend vivid description with humorous commentary on British travelers abroad and the peculiarities of empire, offering a colourful panorama of nineteenth-century life "under the sun."

Beyond travelogue, Sala's essays also reveal a more personal dimension: the restless curiosity and cosmopolitan outlook of a Victorian journalist seeking insight in every corner of the globe. His prose brims with warmth, irony, and the exuberant energy that made him one of the great stylists of his age. This book will appeal to admirers of Victorian travel literature, collectors of nineteenth-century journalism, and readers interested in the global imagination of the British Empire."
