QR code
"Un paseo por París, retratos al natural" by Roque Barcia is a travelogue written in the mid-19th century. The work captures the author's observations and reflections as he explores the city of Paris, intending to provide a truthful portrayal contrary to the misconceptions and exaggerations propagated by neighboring nations about Spain and its people. Barcia sets out to examine various aspects of Parisian life and society, presenting a candid and anecdotal account
of his experiences. At the start of the book, the author humorously addresses his apprehensions about traveling to Paris, describing how his wife and he are overwhelmed by the city's chaos. He outlines his intention to delineate Paris in terms of its morality, curious elements, and personal insights from their visit. Barcia’s assertions reveal his perspective on social customs, laws, and the superficial glamour he perceives in Paris, contrasting it with his views on Spanish integrity. As he shares anecdotes from their first month in Paris, he touches on the disparity between appearances and realities, all while preparing the reader for a more in-depth exploration of French culture and morality during their adventurous journey through the city.
