Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Diary in Europe, 1871 On the clear sunny morn of Wednesday, May 10th, 1871, the Steamship Colorado left its pier at New York for Queenstown, Ireland, and for a time we bid adieu to our homes. Passing Sandy Hook we found the sea perfectly calm, scarcely a ripple marring its surface; our pilot left us now, and, as he departed, it seemed the last tie wasbeing severed thatbound us to our homes, and we left to the mercy of the wind and waves. One earnest, yearning prayer went out from our hearts, that God would keep us and our loved ones at home unharmed - would protect us in our travels, and bring us safely back. Soon the sunset auguries seemed to foretell a pleasant and prosperous trip, for in dappled gold and crimson flecks the flattened orb went down behind the waves; no clouds disturbed the scene save the light gossamer mantle the departing hours wrapped around them as they stepped softly through the portals opened for them; the stars came out brightly, and as we met the deepening swell of old ocean, our gallant boat bowed gently as though it met an old acquaintance.

Download or read book Diary of a Man in Despair written by Friedrich Reck and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed as one of the most important works on the Hitler period, this is an “astonishing, compelling, and unnerving” portrait of life in Nazi Germany between 1936 and 1944—from a man who nearly shot Hitler himself (The New Yorker) Friedrich Reck might seem an unlikely rebel against Nazism. Not just a conservative but a rock-ribbed reactionary, he played the part of a landed gentleman, deplored democracy, and rejected the modern world outright. To Reck, the Nazis were ruthless revolutionaries in Gothic drag, and helpless as he was to counter the spell they had cast on the German people, he felt compelled to record the corruptions of their rule. The result is less a diary than a sequence of stark and astonishing snapshots of life in Germany between 1936 and 1944. We see the Nazis at the peak of power, and the murderous panic with which they respond to approaching defeat; their travesty of traditional folkways in the name of the Volk; and the author’s own missed opportunity to shoot Hitler. This riveting book is not only, as Hannah Arendt proclaimed it, “one of the most important documents of the Hitler period,” but a moving testament of a decent man struggling to do the right thing in a depraved world.

It seemed that all who were not soldiers wanted to sell something to the passengers. The Moors went about trying to sell funny-looking copper coins. I bought a dozen fresh eggs from a Turk in regal costume for eight pence - 16 cents. Without hearing a joke, and even without seeing any prominent noses amongst us, he said, I'm a Yahuda this being proba bly a trick of his trade - to be of any relig ion the occasion might warrant. I bought a money-pouch from an African. Very small donkeys do all the hauling of very big loads strapped on either side of them in huge baskets. Many Spanish women run about here, some quite pretty, but wearing neither shoes, stockings, nor hats. Altogether, we spent a few pleasant hours looking at a queer, pretty little City, and a very funny, mixed-up lot of people. We said: Good-bye, Gibraltar.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Boy's Vacation Abroad, 1906: An American Boy's Diary of His First Trip to Europe We suggested to young King that he reproduce the Dedication in his own handwriting and wrote him to this effect. His answer was so good that we thought we would tell the readers about it. It ran as follows: "I wrote out that Dedication the best I could and hope it is the correct thing, but must say I think to print it in type would look much better, for I write like a hen, and do not like the idea of writing in this book. Am afraid it will queer the book." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diary, Sketches and Reviews, 1850 This volume contains an imperfect daily record of some pleasant scenes in the lands beyond the sea, being simply the original notes made on the spot, at the close of each day in the pilgrimage, and is now printed merely for their preservation and for private use. In addition to the Diary will be found some reviews and sketches of kindred subjects, nearly all of which were written whilst travelling: these have been already printed on the dates and in the publications mentioned in their titles. They were mostly private letters, addressed to friends in Europe and in this country, and, by them, were some time since given to the press. This Diary and the Sketches are now submitted to the indulgent eye of friendship. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-09-05 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Ramble Round the World, 1871 An old man of eighty, the very type of a patriarch, leaning on the arm of a fine young fellow of one-and-twenty, has just crossed the deck. His manners are respectful and yet with a certain amount of dignity. He is an English peasant a Somersetshire man. Sir, he says to me, it '3 late in the day for me to emigrate, but I leave nothing but misery in England, and hope to find at least bread to eat in the New Country. Here are my two grandsons, showing me two lads by his side with a touching expression of tenderness and honest pride: their father and my granddaughter have stayed behind in our old village, and I shall never see them again. He gave a short cough; I looked another way, and he took advantage of it to brush his arm across his moistened eyes. There is a very good library on board - English classics, histories, reviews, and Watter Scott's novels. But to me the most amusing books to study are my fellow-travellers, coming as they do from every quarter of the globe and belonging to all classes of society. The mornings pass only too quickly. As for the meals, they are excellent as regards the quality of the food, but as to the cooking and the waiting, it is Old England before the Reform Bill. I don't complain. I only state the fact. The Directors of the Cunard Company are essentially Conservative. The least agreeable part of the day is the evening. It is difficult to read by the uncertain light of a candle, of which the wick is half blown out by a draught of air from the North Pole, sharp enough to give you the rheuma tism, although not enough to carry off the exhalations of the supper. As to your cabin, in these latitudes in the month of May, you may make up your mind to find the climate of an ice-house.

Book excerpt: The Battle of Dorking: Reminiscences of a Volunteer is an 1871 novella by George Tomkyns Chesney, starting the genre of invasion literature and an important precursor of science fiction. Written just after the Prussian victory in the Franco-Prussian War, it describes an invasion of Britain by a German-speaking country referred to in oblique terms as The Other Power or The Enemy. Excerpt: "You ask me to tell you, my grandchildren, something about my share in the great events that happened fifty years ago. 'Tis sad work turning back to that bitter page in our history, but you may perhaps take profit in your new homes from the lesson it teaches. For us, in England, it came too late. And yet we had plenty of warnings if we had only made use of them."
