Mexico is the most beautiful city ever built by the Spaniards in the New World; and even in Europe it would take a high place for splendor and magnificence. If you wish to behold the magnificent and varied panorama which Mexico presents, you have only to mount at sunset one of the towers of the Cathedral. On whatever side you turn your eye, you see before you the serrated peaks of the Cordilleras, forming a gigantic azure belt of about sixty leagues in circumference.

Autorenporträt
Gabriel Ferry was a French writer and traveler, best known for his work Vagabond Life in Mexico, which reflects his experiences as a wanderer in 19th-century Mexico. Little is known about his early life or background, but his book reveals a deep curiosity for the cultures and societies he encountered. Vagabond Life in Mexico stands as a vivid account of his travels through the country, during a time of political instability and social change in Mexico. Ferry's writing is characterized by rich, descriptive language and an adventurous spirit. He provides firsthand insights into the daily lives of the Mexican people, their customs, and the landscapes he explored, from bustling cities to remote villages. The book offers a unique perspective on Mexico, especially for readers in Europe and North America, where Mexican culture was largely unfamiliar. It stands out for its honest portrayal of both the beauty and challenges faced by a foreigner living in a rapidly changing world.
