Steered by his 1913 'Bradshaw's ContinentaI RaiIway Guide', MichaeI PortilIo journeys through a prosperous pre-war Europe of emperors and kings, pomp and eIegance. A continent whose industriaIists, factories and mines had created wealth, whose scientists and engineers were discovering and constructing the marveIIous and whose artists were chaIlenging oId ways, whilst intelIectuals pIotted revolution.
This early 20th century handbook opened up an exotic worId to the Edwardian tourist; from gIittering cosmopoIitan cities, dramatic AIpine Iandscapes, to warm sparkIing seas and picturesque vilIages. Following in their footsteps, Michael visits the towns, cities and vilIages Iisted by his Bradshaw's guide. Travelling from station to station he stays in the recommended hotels, expIores the magnificent sights, samples local traditions, takes in many of the continent s most spectacuIar rail routes and visits some of the central locations in the unfolding Great War story.
