Thomas Johnes Livres
Thomas Johnes fut un traducteur prolifique qui entreprit de transposer des œuvres du français vers l'anglais sur la suggestion de son épouse. Ses entreprises allèrent au-delà de la simple littérature, puisqu'il s'adonna également à l'architecture paysagère, à l'agriculture et à la bienfaisance sociale. Le large éventail d'intérêts de Johnes et son dévouement à la traduction révèlent un engagement de toute une vie envers la culture et le progrès sociétal.
