Description

A European Summer 1935 is the journal of Benjamin Paul Heritage, written when he was twenty-four and traveled from Mullica Hill, New Jersey to Europe for eleven weeks in the summer of 1935. The book accompanies him on his voyage via tramp steamer to North Africa and from there to Italy and Spain, returning home, first to the port of Boston, then to New York harbor and Lady Liberty, and finally back to his home in New Jersey. 1935 was a particularly vital time in European history, when the peace treaties of the war to end all war were on the brink of being overthrown by the threat of totalitarianism. The journal documents his encounters with the rise of Mussolini and Hitler, and with the civil war in Spain, which was just beginning its bloody struggle between democracy and dictatorship-a struggle magnified four years later in WW II. Heritage's observations are at once those of a naïve American traveling for his first, and last, adventure abroad and those of an educated, perceptive and enquiring young man alert to new ways of looking at the world. Reading A European Summer 1935 is like having a vade mecum, a very personal guidebook, to a refreshing immersion in a time and place that is both foreign and historically familiar.
