In the summer of 1889, at twenty-five years old - although worried about getting married and approving an opposition - Unamuno made a trip through Italy and Switzerland with a final in Paris, where he visited the Universal Exhibition and its greatest attraction, the recently inaugurated Eiffel Tower. During the 49 days of the south grand tour, he wrote down in a notebook what he saw, thought and felt. This is the first edition of that day of travel, which for decades has been lost and that, for its narrative coherence, can be considered his first book, since until then he had only written articles or circumstantial notes on various topics.--Translated from back cover.
