Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cities of Italy As you know, and, I sometimes think, regret, I am one of those for whom the visible world exists, very actively; and, for me, cities are like people, with souls and temperaments of their own, and it has always been one of my chief pleasures to asso ciate with the souls and temperaments congenial to me among cities. And as love, or it may be hate, can alone reveal soul to soul, among human beings, so, it seems to me, the soul of a city will reveal itself only to those who love, or, perhaps, hate it, with a far-sighted emotion. I have come upon many cities which have left me indifferent, perhaps through some accident in my way of approach; at any rate, they had nothing to say to me: Madrid, for instance, and Vienna, and St. Petersburg, and Berlin. It would be impossible for me to write about these cities: I should have nothing to say. But certain other cities, Rome, Venice, Seville, how I have loved them, what a delight it was to me merely to be alive, and living in the and what a delight it is to me to think of them, ta) imagine myself in their streets and on their waters! Moscow, Naples how I have hated them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plain Towns of Italy: The Cities of Old Venetia In the succeeding era of the despots, the Veneto maintained its leading position. In the Polesine it produced that resplendent race of tyrants, the oldest and most cultured of all, who from their conquest of that district descended upon Ferrara, Modena, and Reggio, placing the proud name of este amongst the antecedents of all royal lines. From the Trevisan Marches appeared that most famous and powerful of early despots, Ezzelino da Romano, who reduced the whole province beneath his bloody yoke, and has left in many a town his still visible and fearful imprint. The subsequent Della Carrara of Padua, and Della Scala of Verona, stood foremost among the tyrants of the dawning Renaissance, illustrious for their con quests as for their patronage of science, literature, and the arts, and they began the remodeling of their subject cities on the alluring lines of to-day. After them came the mightier power which caused their fall, the great Republic that stretched her resistless arms slowly over the whole eastern plain, endowing it for all time with the lustre of her name. Venice brought to the long battling cities peace, order, prosperity, and a benevolent, paternal rule that caused them to leap forward in the onrush of the Renaissance, and develop those magnificent schools of painting, sculpt ure, and architecture which made Venetia the jewel casket of Italy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cart of Many Colors a Story of Italy Signs over the little shops would be written in Italian words; and all the babies would have dark Italian eyes and Shy Italian smiles; and all the people in the street would talk and laugh and sing in Italian; and out of all the doorways would come the smell of Italian cooking. And sometimes, at night, the whole street would be decked and garlanded with little electric lights, red and white and green, to celebrate the birth day Of the Italian saint who used to be the guardian spirit of the old Village in Italy, and who of course had emigrated with his villagers when they came to the new world. The Italians are not the only people who get together in groups and colonies in Our Amer ican cities. The Poles, the Russian Jews, the Germans, the Chinese, all the lonely new immi grants do it. They feel strange and far away from their own lands in this new country, and they want to live next door to some one who understands their language and their Old life. But thoughtful Americans are beginning to see that these little patches of Poland, Germany, Italy, are almost as far from America as if they were still on the other Side of the ocean. Daily messages, by cable and wireless, flash between Italy and America, but between Little Italy and Riverside Drive, in New York, there is no wire less; Mars and the Earth are not more far apart in some ways. It is to help Old Ameri cans and new Americans to get together and understand each other that little books like this one are written, - old Americans whose grand parents were born here, and new Americans whose children will be born here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italian Cities, Vol. 1 To find the vanished centuries that wrought this transformation one must ride northeast for seven hours more to the Adriatic marshes. Fourteen hundred years ago, when Italy flamed behind the horsemen of Alaric, the Emperor Honorius fled to the strongest city in the land, Ravenna, and with his corrupt and motley court went one noble fugitive, the genius of the Arts, who illustrates for all time the name of her asylum. In those days Ravenna was still a port; but the sea, which made her greatness, has by receding de stroyed her political importance, thus leaving her to hold the more surely, in her slow decay, the buildings of a time which she alone among cities fully repte sents, a time when pictorial Christian art had just emerged from her prenatal condition of the cata combs into the light of imperial favor, and the archi tecture of the Roman was beginning to be that of the Christian. Thus Ravenna became the splendid reliquary which preserved the dry bones of antique art to be quickened by the breath of the Renaissance. A unique link in the chain, she is the anomaly of Italian towns, a city of antitheses; of pure water in the midst of poisonous marshes, of impregnable refuge among treacherous morasses.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Cities of Italy Celt from Oxford and the Hill of Saint Genevieve, and a very plain person, of mixed British extraction, found themselves one pleasant day on the highway of Monsieur Maurel's "artistic and sociological journey in Italy." Here in still vigorous Tuscany, and over there in languid Venezia, thanks to his Little Cities of Italy, we began to observe with more sympathy and intelligence than ever before the life, the beauty, the mysticism of this enchanting country, and, above all, her centuries-long struggle for self-government, the love of which we, too, cherish before all other loves as the foundation and inspiration of every form of greatness. In Florence, we have counted the jewels in the girdle of Venus, and, in Venice, we have enumerated the precious stones of Aphrodite. We have stood in the "great, venerable hall" of San Gimignano, where Dante "took the word." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by Arthur Lincoln Frothingham - archaeologist and professor of art history at Princeton University, this compendium of Roman history stands out as a wonderful addition to any historian's collection. Frothingham's exploration of Roman history will intrigue and entice seriously minded scholars. Utilizing his own observations of the smaller cities of the Romanized Dalmatian coast and ancient Italy, Frothingham's book stands out as being a keenly perceived analysis of Roman history. One of the strengths of Roman Cities in Italy and Dalmatia is its ability to explore lesser known cities and introduce the reader to them in a scholarly way. When exploring cities such as Praeneste, Norba, Circeii, Terracina, Falerii, Turin, Verona and Aosta, Frothingham brings new information to anticipating readers. In addition to the information this book brings, many photos are provided. The primary argument posed by this book is that to understand Roman history as a whole, one must understand both the large cities and the small ones too. Frothingham defends this argument by showing the importance of the smaller cities he investigates throughout the book. For the individual interested in Roman history and for one who cannot travel to Rome to explore these places first hand, Roman Cities in Italy and Dalmatia is invaluable. For those that have the ability and desire to travel to Rome, reading Frothingham's book in advance will help increase both your knowledge in the area and your knowledge of Roman history as a whole. What the book may lack in unity, it makes up for by its depth and breadth when considering both the individual examinations Frothingham puts forth and the overarching conclusions he reaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Novels of Italy Not easily would you have found a girl more winning in a tender sort than Giovanna Scarpa of Verona at one and twenty, fair-haired and flushed, delicately shaped, tall and pliant, as she then was. She had to suffer her hours Of ill report, but passes for near a saint now, in conse quence of certain miracles and theophanies done On her account, which it is my business to declare; before those she was considered (if at all) as a girl who would certainly have been married three years ago if dowries had not been of moment in the matter. In a city Of maids as pretty as they are modest - which no one will deny Verona to be there may have been some whose charms in either kind were equal to hers, while their estate was better in accord; but the speculation is idle. Giovanna, flower in the face as she was, fit to be nosegay on any hearth, posy for any man's breast, sprang in a very lowly soil. Like a blossoming reed she shot up to her inches by Adige, and one forgot the muddy bed owondering at the slim grace Of the shaft with its crown of yellow atop.
