Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pleasant Memories of Foreign Travel Most of the large cities of Europe attained their full growth ages ago, hence they appear to-day much the same as in past centuries, with the exception of having expanded their limits by absorbing adjacent territory. Towns and cities in America are often the growth of a few years, but it is not so in the Old World, where time was needed for their development. There antiquity is venerated; here it is frequently regarded with indifference. Mistakes and faults are common to both hemi spheres but frequent communication between the two will in time correct many of these errors, and bring the nations into a more familiar acquaintance with one another. It requires weeks and months to explore and study the rich treasures of art found in the museums of any one great city, for which a special preparation is needed. One should be familiar with the history of the country or city to be visited, and should know what objects of interest are to be seen. He should understand the history of the fine arts, including architecture, and where the works of the great masters are to be found.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Wanderer's Log: Being Some Memories of Travel in India, the Far East, Russia, the Mediterranean Elsewhere When I was fifteen years old, my father, most generous of men, not unnaturally alarmed at a sudden swerve in my character towards the writing of poetry and the championing of advanced causes, decided in the manner of fathers that it was time I was sent about the world to "knock the nonsense out of me." I was promptly removed from school, where, being a precocious youth, I was already well started on my way towards my ideal of becoming a classical scholar, and sent posthaste to Germany, where, it was understood, a good beginning would be made towards knocking the nonsense out of me. Something, however, seemed to go wrong with the programme. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from German Memories Manifold are the roads that lead to Rome, various are the conditions under which we may become acquainted with a foreign land; though I am inclined to doubt whether modern facilities for travel have increased the number of those who penetrate beneath the surface of another country, let alone their own. On the other hand, with the growing complexity of the inter-relationship of national interests and ideas, it is becoming more difficult every day to gauge the road we ourselves are travelling without possessing some knowledge of what is taking place - germinating, ripening - outside our own doors.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Memories: Recollections of a Hurried Run Through the United States During the Late Spring of 1896 "You have been 'below par' for the last three months, come with me to the States, I am going by the Campania next Saturday, the fresh breezes that sweep unchecked over the broad Atlantic will clear your brain from dull headaches and accumulated cobwebs and put renewed strength and vigour into your feeble knees." So spoke an old friend, my companion in a hundred previous travels, as I lay, worn out and listless, on the comfortable settee of a private billiard room. The "par" standard in my friend's mind had reference in this instance, fortunately, to physical conditions only. Had he included the "financial par," truth would have compelled him to avoid time limitations, and to remember the many, if never violent, fluctuations of the commercial barometer. Advantages and responsibilities are ever inseparable; there was the invaluable advantage of my friend's intimacy with many leading men in the principal cities and his general knowledge of the country, gained in previous visits, making his proposal so alluring as to outweigh the responsibilities of office and home, which I knew could be left, with a light heart, to those who are ever ready to lighten the burden of my latest years. And so, as usual, the unexpected happens: - "We meet on Saturday next at the Central Station, Liverpool, at half-past one," were the last words preceding a short interval of separation.

Thirty great iron-clads followed in quick succession; men-of-war crowded the harbor. They had been ordered into Turkish waters on account of the war then raging between Turkey and Russia. From ship and shore thousands of spectators watched the Vandalia's approach with eager interest, and from the foremast of every vessel and the flagstaffs of the city the American flag waved the General a glad and hearty welcome.

Book excerpt: Written in Soviet Moscow in the 1920s—but considered too subversive even to show to a publisher—the seven tales included here attest to Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky’s boundless imagination, black humor, and breathtaking irony: a man loses his way in the vast black waste of his own small room; the Eiffel Tower runs amok; a kind soul dreams of selling “everything you need for suicide”; an absentminded passenger boards the wrong train, winding up in a place where night is day, nightmares are the reality, and the backs of all facts have been broken; a man out looking for work comes across a line for logic but doesn’t join it as there’s no guarantee the logic will last; a sociable corpse misses his own funeral; an inventor gets a glimpse of the far-from-radiant communist future.

Combined with this simplicity of living, people were generally en dowed with a Singleness of heart which was more esteemed than material wealth, and a spirit of economy which benefited the ensuing. Generation. But it is not in order to describe these times that I write my reminiscences; it is rather because early in life I came in contact with eminent and distinguished people, of whom I feel impelled to give an account.
