This paper highlights the main topics of such travelogue, providing original insights on the factors that contributed to shape Shan's peculiar views on the country that bosted her for more tha a year.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
