Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Charm of the English Village He introduced improvements devised by his own ingenuity and skill, created picturesque effects which added beauty to the building. Sometimes his purse was full with the price of his rich eeces, and he could afford to adorn his home with more elaborate decoration sometimes res angusta domi, when times were bad, compelled him to aim at greater simplicity with no less satisfactory results. Another cause of variety in the appearance of our village buildings is the different nature of the materials used in their construction. Geology plays no small part in the production of various styles of village architecture. In the days of our forefathers, in Elizabethan or Jacobean times, there were no railroads to transport slates from Wales, or dump down wagon-loads of bricks or beams of timber in a country that possessed good stone-quarries. They were obliged to use the materials which nature in their own district afforded. This was the great secret of their success. Nature's productions harmonise best with the face of nature in the district where they are produced. Alien buildings have always an un satisfactory appearance and if we modern folk would build with good effect, we must use the natural material provided by the quarries, or woods, or clay-pits indigenous to the district, and not transport our materials from afar.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Neighbourhood: A Year's Life in and About an English Village But life in an English village derives its charm only in part from its intimacy with wild Nature and all her wonders and beauties, indispensable as these are to the daily lives of most thinking, working men. There is no error so disastrous; humanly speaking, as that which leads a man to seek happiness or sublimity out of the beaten track of his fellows. Neighbourhood, the daily interchange of thought and word and kindly deed, is a necessity for all healthy human life, and the natural medium of all true advancement. And nowhere will you find it of such sturdy growth, rooted in such nourishing, yet temperate soil, than in the Villages of modern England.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Arts in Early England From the first the series of volumes of which this is one has been addressed as much to the general public as to those whose interests are scholarly, and to a public moreover wider than that constituted by the incident of British birth, for to our kinsfolk from the Dominions and to independent offshoots from the common Anglo - Saxon stock there is a perennial attractiveness in the English country villages where, or near which, the subject matter of these volumes for the most part exists or has come to light. There is indeed no possession of the British race endowed with a charm more intimate, more essentially our own, than the English country village, and there are numberless rural hamlets where nature and man have worked in concert to fill the place with a mellowed beauty, that, after all, win their chief claim to praise from the perfect setting they provide for the country church.

Download or read book St. Moritz Chic written by Dora Lardelli and published by Assouline Publishing. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nestled in Switzerland’s alpine Engadin Valley, St. Moritz stands on its own amidst a sea of celebrated ski resorts in that it has long maintained an elusive allure. The winter home of personalities from Gunter Sachs and Gianni Agnelli to Sofia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, John Lennon, and Claudia Schiffer, there are few places in the world that manage to unite so many of the top names in cinema, art, and fashion all in one place, year after year. Author Dora Lardelli takes the reader on a journey through Chanel and Hitchcock’s favorite haunts and the hidden parties at Badrutt’s Palace where royalty goes to play, without forgetting the natural beauty, village charm and architectural mastery that define it. St. Moritz also takes readers on a majestic tour of its special events, from Winter Olympics to the annual Snow Polo World Cup, as well as the summertime Jazz Festival and the British Classic Car Meeting. In St. Moritz creatives and royals share skiwassers slope-side on the sheepskin benches of El Paradiso, pause to sip champagne on long strolls around its frozen, crystalline lake and enjoy coffee and confections at the centuries old Hanselmann. St. Moritz has never lost its inimitable appeal, and will continue to reign as an elegant hideaway for all those who have come to call it a home away from home.
