Loti, Pierre, (pseud, of Julien Viaud). 915-9 Lgis
Siam; tr. from the French by W. P. Baines. Laurie.
"One of the slightest, but most characteristic of his recent books—an account of the
ruined temples of Angkor-Vat built up on a reminiscence of his childhood, and completed
by a return to the home of his youth and a renewal of its dreams. The translation
is very good in view of the intrinsic difficulties of a style which depends on
romantic sensitiveness of temperament and hardly carries over into another language.
The illustrations.. .are pleasing in form and colour." Athenceum, 1913.

humorous style the daily incidents of the voyage on board the Nimrod and the journey
across the snow fields.
