Life in the Old World, Two Volumes, 1860, Frederika Bremer

A complete in two volumes set of Frederika Bremer's Life in the Old World or Two Years in Switzerland and Italy, translated by Mary Howitt.

"Fredrika Bremer was a Finnish-born Swedish writer and feminist reformer. Her Sketches of Everyday Life were wildly popular in Britain and the United States during the 1840s and 1850s and she is regarded as the Swedish Jane Austen, bringing the realist novel to prominence in Swedish literature. "

These antique hardcover books are missing spines, have lots of page spotting, and significant cover wear.
