Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Golden Lion of Granpere And indeed an observant traveller will be led to think that a great deal of what may most truly be called civilisation has found its way in among the Ballons, whether it travelled thither by the new fangled railways and im perial routes, or found its passage along the valley streams before imperial favours had been showered upon the district. We are told that when Pastor Oberlin was appointed to his cure as Protestant clergyman in the Ban de la Roche a little more than one hundred years ago, that was, in 1767, - this region was densely dark and far behind in the world's running as regards all progress. The people were ignor ant, poor, half-starved, almost savage, destitute. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
