Description
The Chinese philosopher named Lien Chi Altangi writes a series of travel letters to his friend from London. Through these witty letters, Goldsmith exposes both England's most ridiculous customs and its defining characteristics. He uses a foreign traveller as the naive narrator of a contemporary social satire - quite a common device used by writers at the time to mask there own social criticisms. It is a highly entertaining and inspiring adventure in literature. - from Amzon
