Summary "The Complete Writings of Charles Dudley Warner — Volume 2" by Charles Dudley Warner is a collection of essays and travel reflections written during the late 19th century. This volume illustrates Warner's keen observations on culture, geography, and social issues, encompassing both personal experiences and broader commentaries on American and European life, specifically focusing on places like the Atlantic Ocean, Paris, London, and various cities in the Low Countries and Switzerland. At the start of this volume, Warner invites readers to join him on a leisurely exploration, correcting prevalent misconceptions about travel and the Atlantic Ocean particularly. He humorously reflects on his experiences of ocean travel, highlighting the discomforts and illusions associated with long journeys. The opening also contrasts the vibrant cultures of Paris and London, comparing their landscapes, societal behaviors, and culinary experiences, while poking fun at national stereotypes, thus setting the tone for a journey filled with wit, charm, and a thoughtful perspective on both the mundane and the magnificent aspects of life in these cities.
