Summary "De Pontoise à Stamboul" by Edmond About is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the author's adventurous journey from Pontoise, France, to Istanbul, Turkey, highlighting the experiences and encounters along the way. The narrative is likely infused with social commentary, as it explores various cultures and places visited during the trip. At the start of the narrative, the author reflects on his recent journey that took him from the banks of the Oise River to Istanbul within a remarkably short span. He sets the scene with excitement and wonder, discussing the rapid travel arrangements made by a wealthy banker friend and the various dignitaries invited for a luxurious inauguration of a new sleeping car service. The author vividly describes his experiences traveling through Europe, the remarkable comforts of modern train travel, and the captivating characters he meets, all while painting a portrait of the landscapes and cultures encountered along the route.
