Book excerpt: Chapter I. Daisy Hanbury poked her parasol between the bars of the cage, with the amiable intention of scratching the tiger's back. The tiger could not be expected to know this all by himself, and so he savagely bit the end of it off, with diabolical snarlings. Daisy turned to her cousin with a glow of sympathetic pleasure. "What a darling!" she said. "He didn't understand, you see, and was perfectly furious. And it cost pounds and pounds, and I've spent all my allowance, and so I can't buy another, and my complexion will go to the dogs. Let's go there, too; the dingoes are absolutely fascinating. We'll come back to see these angels fed." Gladys laughed. "Daisy, you have got the most admirable temper," she said. "I should have called that brute any names except 'darling' and 'angel.'" "I know you would, because you don't understand either it or me. I understand both perfectly. You see, you don't love fierce wild things--things that are wicked and angry, and, above all, natural. I don't mind good, sweet, gentle things, like--oh, like almost everybody, if only they are sweet and good naturally. But generally they are not. Their sweetness is the result of education or morality, or something tedious, not the result of their natures, of themselves. Oh, I know all about it! Gladys, this parasol is beyond hope. Let's conceal it in the bushes like a corpse." Daisy looked round with a wild and suspicious eye.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring Travel and Tourism: Essays on Journeys and Destinations offers a broad treatment of topics in global travel/tourism studies through articles first presented at Travel and Tourism panels at Mid-Atlantic Popular/American Culture Association conferences between 2007 and 2010. Through archival research, close readings and case studies, the authors assembled here examine the significance of travel and the tourist experience over the last two hundred years, from Borneo to Cuba to Niagara Falls, and places in between. The contributions seek to unpack the meanings of nationality, postcolonialism, place, gender, class and the Self/Other dyad as they bump up against the framework of travel studies. Taken together, the articles speak to central issues in current scholarly debates about travel, tourism and culture from various historical, geographical and disciplinary perspectives. The contributions are grouped thematically into three sections. Part I, “The Personal Travel Narrative: Constructing the Self Through Encounters with the Other,” offers close readings of travelogues, both published and unpublished. Part II, “Constructing a National Identity Through Tourism,” details the ways that nations and states market themselves to tourists. Part III, “The Meaning of Journey; The Meaning of Destination,” investigates places, both real and created, and the ways people travel to get to them.

Book excerpt: This is a Mediterranean love story. At the height of the Swinging Sixties Viola and Adam meet on an old Greek liner packed with like minded young Australians looking for adventure and experience in Europe. Rejecting the conventional path to Earls Court the couple find themselves, after a series of fateful choices, heading for the island of Crete. There they fall in with an international community of expatriates, an exotic mixture of castaways, eccentrics, sybarites and artists. In spite of their meagre funds the young lovers rent a dilapidated villa overlooking the ancient Venetian harbour of Chania. But Crete is a difficult location to fit into, particularly for an attractive young woman like Viola. In 1967 the Greek government is overthrown by a military coup and its colonels attempt to repress the Greeks’ natural joie de vivre in the name of “Christian-Hellenic” values. Chania becomes a powder keg of vice and passion. It contains a naval base on its outskirts that is the barracks for eight thousand Greek sailors doing national service. After Viola is abducted and almost raped by one of the ratings she and Adam are encouraged by an American painter called Sylvia Naughton to move to a village where she has lived for eleven years on the island of Lesbos. Her work is dedicated to capturing the disappearing traditional currents of village life in her paintings. The move proves fortuitous. In contrast to the macho south this island is sophisticated, filled with evidence of a glorious past and haunted by the presence of the sixth century BC poet Sappho. Could this be the exceptional life Viola is searching for? The expatriate clan on Lesbos is dominated by various powerful personalities like Isaac Romberg, a Canadian and self-declared poet laureate. His extrovert exuberance and domination of his wife Vita is challenged by an English classicist called Charity Lane who has experienced war first hand and whose scepticism as a result towards human ideals brings the two men into witty, wordy conflict with no hold bared. The island itself and its natural magnificence cast a seductive spell over these comic/ tragic adventurers, distorting their pasts and exposing the vulnerability of their secret desires.

Book excerpt: A “hard to solve and easy to read” mystery from the Edgar Award–winning author of the Peter Duluth series (Kirkus Reviews). Patrick Quentin, best known for the Peter Duluth puzzle mysteries, also penned outstanding detective novels from the 1930s through the 1960s under other pseudonyms, including Q. Patrick and Jonathan Stagge. Anthony Boucher wrote: “Quentin is particularly noted for the enviable polish and grace which make him one of the leading American fabricants of the murderous comedy of manners; but this surface smoothness conceals intricate and meticulous plot construction as faultless as that of Agatha Christie.” Lewis Denham has always been the black sheep of the family. Adopted into the “proper” Denham household after his working-class parents died, Lew never quite fit in with the rest of the clan—or maybe he simply couldn’t keep his nose elevated that high for that long without getting frostbite. Either way, when he announces his marriage to a British girl without checking how blue her blood is, the family is aghast. But things become truly appalling when Lew finds a dead man in his apartment—and it seems the lower-class victim had a connection with his upper-crust family. Now, feeling more outside the Denham ranks than ever, Lew will have to look past his family’s elite façade and find out who they really are. And he’s about to learn that none of them are too good to get a little blood on their hands . . .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simone de Beauvoir, still a teen, began a diary while a philosophy student at the Sorbonne. Written in 1926-27—before Beauvoir met Jean-Paul Sartre—the diaries reveal previously unknown details about her life and times and offer critical insights into her early intellectual interests, philosophy, and literary works. Presented for the first time in translation, this fully annotated first volume of the Diary includes essays from Barbara Klaw and Margaret A. Simons that address its philosophical, historical, and literary significance. It remains an invaluable resource for tracing the development of Beauvoir’s independent thinking and her influence on philosophy, feminism, and the world.

The Arabic alphabet has characters for which we have no satisfactory equivalents and the Arab language has sounds which we find it difficult to reproduce."
