“I'll be ever'where–wherever you look. Wherever they's a fight so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever they's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there..An' when our folks eat the stuff they raise an' live in the houses the build–why I'll be there.”
The Path to Rome is a 1902 travelogue by the French-English writer Hilaire Belloc in which he recounts his pilgrimage to Rome from Toul in northeastern France. The book contains Belloc's account of events in short vignettes, his thoughts on his travels, and asides about the history and geography of places he visits. Drawings, maps, and musical notation are also included throughout. The book is mostly written in a stream-of-consciousness style, including conversations between Belloc and an imagined reader, and its use of complex literary techniques have been described as foreshadowing postmodern literature. The Path to Rome was Belloc's most financially successful work, established him as a serious author, and influenced several writers at the time. Contemporary reviews were positive, focusing on his authenticity, shrewd observations, and sense of humour. Retrospectives have similarly praised the book. Belloc himself later recounted that it was "the only book I ever wrote for love". (Full article...)
