Download or read book The Romance of Modern Railways (Classic Reprint) written by Thomas W. Corbin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance of Modern Railways Flying and flying machines, however, have not and cannot have so many interesting features as are to be found upon engines and trains, with the result that the interest has swung back to the railway, and most boys of to-day are as keen about them as ever their fathers were. It is for such boys that this book is intended more than anyone else, but it is hoped, nevertheless, that it may make an even wider appeal. The writer knows an uncle who regularly buys a certain boys' periodical. He buys it, of course, to give to his nephew, but his friends notice that he always reads it through him self first, and, although this book may be intended for the sons and nephews, it is quite possible that some fathers and uncles may find it to their liking. The writing of it has been a labour of love, and if all readers get the same pleasure in reading it which the writer got in writing it, it is going to add largely to the sum of human happiness.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rhymes of the Rail There were bridges and tunnels, that ran away back, A depot and round house complete, With mountains surrounding a long passing track Where fliers were ordered to meet. As I studied the layout of each little track, It seemed I had been there before; Fond memories I cherished were calling me back To bright golden hours of yore. Back to my childhood in that happy land, My heart overflowing with joy; Back among playmates again in the sand, A freckle-faced, barefooted boy! Oh! Could I but linger forever with you And sleep in your snowy white bed; And then I could tell you of hills that I knew On the rough rocky road up ahead.

His locomotive has a machine called an automatic stoker which feeds coal into the firebox. Sam just checks up on the fire. He looks at dials and gauges in the locomotive cab, and they tell him' what he wants to know. There is enough steam. Every thing is ship-shape.

Book Synopsis Food on the Move by : Sharon Hudgins
Download or read book Food on the Move written by Sharon Hudgins and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All aboard for a delicious ride on nine legendary railway journeys! Meals associated with train travel have been an important ingredient of railway history for more than a century—from dinners in dining cars to lunches at station buffets and foods purchased from platform vendors. For many travelers, the experience of eating on a railway journey is often a highlight of the trip, a major part of the “romance of the rails.” A delight for rail enthusiasts, foodies, and armchair travelers alike, Food on the Move serves up the culinary history of these famous journeys on five continents, from the earliest days of rail travel to the present. Chapters invite us to table for the haute cuisine of the elegant dining carriages on the Orient Express; the classic American feast of steak-and-eggs on the Santa Fe Super Chief; and home-cooked regional foods along the Trans-Siberian tracks. We eat our way across Canada’s vast interior and Australia’s spectacular and colorful Outback; grab an infamous “British railway sandwich” to munch on the Flying Scotsman; snack on spicy samosas on the Darjeeling Himalayan Toy Train; dine at high speed on Japan’s bullet train, the Shinkansen; and sip South African wines in a Blue Train—a luxury lounge-car featuring windows of glass fused with gold dust. Written by eight authors who have traveled on those legendary lines, these chapters include recipes from the dining cars and station eateries, taken from historical menus and contributed by contemporary chefs, as well as a bounty of illustrations. A toothsome commingling of dinner triangles and train whistles, this collection is a veritable feast of meals on the move.

The rest was swift driving over long grades, around great curves, through a quarter mile tunnel and over many bridges. The S. W. L.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Road: A Modern Romance And now? Streets smoke grime the contact of a huddled million Of his fellows. He had had enough enough enough! Somehow somewhere Free dom waited and was calling aloud. The call had reached him with electric suddenness; the bank rose between him and the cage they called a city, and, in breaking the thrall, revealed it. He was loosed; he would be gone. A new sound broke in upon his reflections the sound of a woman's voice in anger the crack of a whip. He wheeled round the curve Of the road which discovered the level crossing almost at his feet. A light, two-wheeled runabout was across the track. In the shafts a bright chestnut pony stood immovable, its ears laid back, its quarters slanted obstinately in, its eyes round and staring. They were fixed upon the tele graph wires which bordered the road. From these the dilapidated remains of a boy's kite swung in the breeze. With every rustle of the ragged paper the pony shivered, but otherwise remained motionless as if the rails were magnets, gluing the iron which shod its feet. A girl held the reins, chucked at the bit, raised the whip and brought it down smartly upon the shivering flanks. The pony shrank, but did not budge its foot hold by an inch. The whip fell again. Agnew advanced and raised his hat. Can I lead him? He asked. The girl flushed. No, please, she answered quickly. I must conquer him myself. It is obstinacy nothing else. She raised the whip again, and this time the thong fell with the full force of her wrist. The pony raised a foot and put it down again. It was almost as if he had stamped it with defiance.

Book Synopsis The Burden of Responsibility by : Tony Judt
Download or read book The Burden of Responsibility written by Tony Judt and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-11-15 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the lives of the three outstanding French intellectuals of the twentieth century, renowned historian Tony Judt offers a unique look at how intellectuals can ignore political pressures and demonstrate a heroic commitment to personal integrity and moral responsibility unfettered by the difficult political exigencies of their time. Through the prism of the lives of Leon Blum, Albert Camus, and Raymond Aron, Judt examines pivotal issues in the history of contemporary French society—antisemitism and the dilemma of Jewish identity, political and moral idealism in public life, the Marxist moment in French thought, the traumas of decolonization, the disaffection of the intelligentsia, and the insidious quarrels rending Right and Left. Judt focuses particularly on Blum's leadership of the Popular Front and his stern defiance of the Vichy governments, on Camus's part in the Resistance and Algerian War, and on Aron's cultural commentary and opposition to the facile acceptance by many French intellectuals of communism's utopian promise. Severely maligned by powerful critics and rivals, each of these exemplary figures stood fast in their principles and eventually won some measure of personal and public redemption. Judt constructs a compelling portrait of modern French intellectual life and politics. He challenges the conventional account of the role of intellectuals precisely because they mattered in France, because they could shape public opinion and influence policy. In Blum, Camus, and Aron, Judt finds three very different men who did not simply play the role, but evinced a courage and a responsibility in public life that far outshone their contemporaries. "An eloquent and instructive study of intellectual courage in the face of what the author persuasively describes as intellectual irresponsibility."—Richard Bernstein, New York Times
