Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net/  a"Om en door den Peloponnesus" by B. de Jandin is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. This work recounts the author's experiences and observations as he travels through the Peloponnesian region of Greece, reflecting on both the natural beauty and the cultural history of the land. The narrative promises to offer insights into the contrasts of the ancient ruins and the contemporary life of the Greek people, providing a thoughtful exploration of Greece's past and present.  The opening of the narrative describes the author's arrival in Athens and his subsequent decision to travel to the Peloponnesus after feeling disenchanted by the arid Attic landscape. He vividly paints his impressions of Athens, contrasting its grand historical ruins with the surrounding desolation. As he prepares for his journey, he highlights the local customs and the vibrant social atmosphere he encounters at a café and the bustling port of Piraeus. Setting off on the boat to Corinth, he shares his mixed emotions about the journey, observations of the people aboard, and the stark beauty of the Greek landscape, ultimately foreshadowing the rich experiences that await him in the Peloponnesian countryside.
