Summary "Germany, Bohemia, and Hungary, Visited in 1837. Vol. II" by G. R. Gleig is a historical travelogue written in the early 19th century. The narrative captures the author's observations as he journeys through these European regions, notably shedding light on the culture, geography, and local customs he encounters along the way. The text provides a glimpse into the people, landscapes, and experiences that shape the author's perspective, reflecting a mix of admiration and critique consistent with travel writings of its time. The opening portion of the book begins with the author's arrival at the Gulden Krone inn, where he describes the initial cold reception and the various dining options available, highlighting the prevalent use of veal in the local cuisine. As he explores the surroundings, he visits Count Thun's castle, where he reflects on its magnificent setting and architecture. Gleig also muses on Bohemian superstitions, the agrarian lifestyle, and the condition of the local population. With detailed observations of the landscapes, hospitality interactions, and cultural nuances, the author sets the stage for a richly textured travel account that aims to engage readers with the historical context and charm of 1837 Bohemia.
