Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World Unvisited: Essays and Sketches "If I had ten thousand pounds," said my cousin Zenobia, "I'd invest five thousand" "Better say eight thousand," I interrupted. "Interest may go down before prices, and your tastes are not Spartan." "Well, eight thousand-and with the rest I'd -" "Travel." "How did you know?" "By an enormously complex and fearsomely rapid process of deduction, not unlike that by which I anticipate, when I see lightning, that I shall hear thunder." "It's been the dream of my life." "I could have told you that too. But I can tell you more. I can tell you where you would go." I made only one mistake. I included Munich and Dresden. My mind was moving in pre-war channels. Zenobia's wasn't. She is an ex-sergeant-major in the W.V.R., and organised a protest against the supplying of a superior quality of margarine to German prisoners. "I won't set a foot in Hunland as long as I live," she said severely. So I shunned the German frontier. For the rest, the task was easy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Shepheard's previous book, What is Architecture?, was about making real, material things in the world—landscapes, buildings, and machines. The Cultivated Wilderness is about those landscapes, and about the strategies that govern what we've done in shaping them.In the author's words, this book is about "seeing things that are too big to see." His emphasis on strategy makes landscape fundamental—he says that every architectural move is set in a landscape. Norman England, for example, was constructed as a network of strong points, in a strategy of occupation. The eighteenth-century grid cities of the New World reflect a strategy of reason. Our current strategy is the economic exploitation of the Earth, an intricately woven blanket of commerce that covers up a multitude of other possibilities, many other ways to treat the surface of the globe—some of which are the landscapes revealed in this book.In a series of first-person narratives, reminiscent of his last book, the author pairs six landscapes, in order of descending scale from global to local, from the seven wonders of the ancient world to the condensed destruction of World War I's Western Front. In an engaging style, Shepheard takes the reader on an odyssey through these landscapes, meeting people and seeing places. He states that now, at the end of a century in which the appropriate landscape was sought but never found, the strategy of turning the land to profit is under review—and offers this book as his contribution to that review. Important Notice: The digital edition of this book is missing some of the images found in the physical edition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From childhood, Charles Dickens was fascinated by tales from other countries and other cultures, and he longed to see the world. In Dickens and Travel, Lucinda Hawksley looks at the journeys made by the author – who is also her great great great grandfather. Although Dickens is usually perceived as a London author, in the 1840s he whisked his family away to live in Italy for year, and spent several months in Switzerland. Some years later he took up residence in Paris and Boulogne (where he lived in secret with his lover). In addition to travelling widely in Europe, he also toured America twice, performed onstage in Canada and, before his untimely death, was planning a tour of Australia. Dickens and Travel enters into the world of the Victorian traveller and looks at how Charles Dickens’s journeys influenced his writing and enriched his life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World Unvisited: Essays and Sketches I should like to go up the Pass of Tempe and climb Olympus, and, if I can get ahead of the new tourist ofiensive that will follow the attainment of world-peace, I may consider a tour from Cairo to Sinai, Akaba, Petraea, the Dead Sea, and the Hauran, with a possible extension to Babylon, Persia, and Turkestan. Even if my cousin Zenobia should remove her ban from Hunland, I shall probably not have any desire to behold the mock fagades and wooden battlements that crown the forested bluffs along the Rhine. No river has been so staled by fashion and so travestied by art all the ballads and legends of the Middle Ages, all the atmospheric glamour of Goethe, Heine, and Romain Rolland, cannot obscure the dread facts of Homburg, Wiesbaden, and the tourist steamers and the romantic exaggerations of Turner and his British imitators have hopelessly dwarfed the Rhine scenery. The Blue Danube is less hackneyed, but it does not begin to tempt me till it has passed Budapest; and my objective would not be Belgrade and the Iron Gates, but those mournful willow-forests of the lower reaches, where the lonely river loses itself in dim unbridgeable lagoons, haunted only by frogs__ and wild fowl and the fever mists that whiten m the moonshine.

Download or read book Mark Twain's Medieval Romance written by Otto Penzler and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2012-10-09 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of suspenseful stories from legendary authors will test your detective instincts and imagination. A premier anthology of some of the finest mystery stories in literary history, including tales from Ray Bradbury, Roald Dahl, Aldous Huxley, O. Henry, and Mark Twain. Tantalizing, as ingenious as they are devious, the classic stories in this continually arresting collection come with an irresistible challenge: At their end they leave it to you, the reader, to determine how they end. For ultimately it’s the reader who authors the fate of the brave youth as he contemplates which of the two doors in the king’s arena he will choose in Frank Stockton’s famous and unforgettable “The Lady, or the Tiger?” And which of the two brothers in three-time Edgar-winner Stanley Ellin’s “Unreasonable Doubt” shoots a bullet square in the middle of their rich uncle’s forehead? And just what not-so-sweet secret is the prim Miss Spence hiding behind her smile in Aldous Huxley’s deliciously enigmatic tale? You decide. In all, as in “The Moment of Decision”—a chilling tale that seals an escape artist inside an airless stone cell with a heavy wooden door, which may or may not open—the moment of decision is yours.
