Book excerpt: Volume One of the thirteenth-century Venetian explorer’s famous travelogue, recounting his historic journeys through Asia and his encounters with Kublai Khan. In 1271, Marco Polo embarked from Venice on a voyage to China. Together with his father and uncle, he came upon the court of the Mongolian emperor Kublai Khan. After twenty years in the service of the Great Khan, the Polos returned home—only for Marco to be taken prisoner during a conflict between Venice and Genoa. While detained, Marco recounted the incredible stories of his many travels—through China, Burma, Sumatra, India, and Siam, across the Gobi Desert and the mountains of Tibet, encountering strange customs, religions, fabrics, and spices—to his fellow prisoner, the scribe Rustichello da Pisa. Marco Polo’s epic travelogue brought vivid depictions of the Far East to medieval Europe, offering a fascinating glimpse into lands and cultures previously unknown to Western scholars. The first book of this two-volume edition encompasses Polo’s journeys through the Middle East and Central Asia, and his introduction to Kublai Khan.
Book Synopsis Lawrence Durrell's Notes on Travel Volume One by : Lawrence Durrell
Download or read book Lawrence Durrell's Notes on Travel Volume One written by Lawrence Durrell and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2018-07-03 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travel writing “as luminous as the Mediterranean air” from the acclaimed author of the Alexandria Quartet, who is featured in PBS’s The Durrells in Corfu (Time). Born in India, acclaimed British novelist and poet Lawrence Durrell lived in Corfu as a young man, enjoying salt air, cobalt water, and an unfettered bohemian lifestyle, along with his brother, Gerald, who would also go on to be a writer and a naturalist. Their real-life family is portrayed in the PBS Masterpiece production, The Durrells in Corfu. Over the following decades, he rambled around the Mediterranean, making homes in Egypt, Cyprus, and Greece, always bringing his poet’s eye to document his experiences. Blue Thirst: In the first of a pair of lectures, given during a 1970s visit to California, Durrell recalls his family’s time living on the Greek island of Corfu, expanding on his eloquent memoir, Prospero’s Cell. When the Second World War came to the Mediterranean, Durrell was swept into diplomatic service, an adventure he vividly recounts in his powerful second lecture. “[Durrell’s] travel books arrive like long letters from a civilized and very funny friend.” —Time Sicilian Carousel: For years, Durrell’s friend Martine had begged him to visit her on the sun-kissed paradise of Sicily, but it took her sudden death to finally bring him to the island’s shores. With Martine’s letters in his pocket, Durrell treks from sight to sight, dizzy with history and culture, and finds haunting echoes of his past lives in Rhodes, Cyprus, and Corfu. “Elegant . . . wonderful.” —Time Bitter Lemons of Cyprus: Against the backdrop of the push for independence on Cyprus in the early 1950s, the poet, novelist, and former British government official buys a house, secures a job, and settles in, yearning for a return to the island lifestyle of his youth. Winner of the Duff Cooper Prize, this memoir is an elegant picture of island life in a changing world. “Brilliant depth of language . . . gathering slowly from the lighter delightful pages to its lost and questioning end. Never for a moment does [Durrell] lose the poet’s touch.” —The New York Times

Book excerpt: Marco Polo (1254-1324) was a member of a patrician family of Venice, accompanied his father an uncle in 1271 on an embassy from the pope to Kublai, Grand Khan of Tartary. They travelled through Armenia, Iraq, Khorasan, and the Pamir, to Kashgar; thence to Khoten, across the desert of Lop, and into Chinese territory, where they were well received by the emperor and where Marco was employed on services of importance. After 17 years in the territories of the Grand Khan, the Polos obtained permission to return home, which they did by sea to the Persian Gulf, eventually reaching Venice after an absence of 24 years. Marco Polo�s account of his travels was written while imprisoned by the Genoese, by whom he had been captured in a sea-fight with the Venetians. The work became very popular and was translated into many languages. The classic translation in English is by the Scottish Orientalist Sir Henry Yule (1820-1889), which first appeared in 1871 and for which he received the Founder's Gold Medal of the Royal Geographical Society.

Book Synopsis The Boer Invasion of The Zulu Kingdom 1837-1840 by : John Laband
Download or read book The Boer Invasion of The Zulu Kingdom 1837-1840 written by John Laband and published by Jonathan Ball Publishers. This book was released on 2023-02-16 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The battle of Blood River, or Ncome, on 16 December 1838 has long been regarded as a critical moment in the history of South Africa. It is the culminating victory by the land-hungry Boers who had migrated out of the British-ruled Cape and invaded the Zulu kingdom in 1837. Many Afrikaners long acclaimed their triumph as the God-given justification for their subsequent dominion over Africans. By contrast, Africans celebrate the war with pride for its significance in their valiant struggle against colonial aggression. In this account, John Laband deals as even-handedly as possible with the warring sides in the conflict. In contrasting their military systems, he explains both victory and defeat in the many battles that marked the war. Crucially, he also presents the less familiar Zulu perspective explaining the political motivation, strategic military objectives and fissures in the royal house. This is the first book in English that engages with the war between the Boers and the Zulu in its entire context or takes the Zulu evidence into proper account.
