Hilaire Belloc
Hilaire Belloc was born in France in 1870. As a child, he moved with his mother and siblings to England. As a French citizen, he did his military service in France before going to Oxford University, where he was president of the Union debating society. He took British citizenship in 1902 and was a member of parliament for several years. A prolific and versatile writer of over 150 books, he is best remembered for his comic and light verse. But he also wrote extensively about politics, history, nature and contemporary society. Famously adversarial, he is remembered for his long-running feud with H. G. Wells. He died in in Surrey, England, in 1953.

Reviews for The Path to Rome
21 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A wonderful record of Belloc's journey to Rome - at once literally and figuratively. He carries almost nothing - no money or spare clothes - and sleeps mostly under hedges. Determined to follow the straight line he drew on a map he has to cross mountains across the grain and is often caught in bad weather.
