Book excerpt: In Hajj Travelogues: Texts and Contexts from the 12th Century until 1950 Richard van Leeuwen maps the corpus of hajj accounts from the Muslim world and Europe. The work outlines the main issues in a field of study which has largely been neglected. A large number of hajj travelogues are described as a textual type integrating religious discourse into the form of the journey. Special attention is given to their intertextual embedding in the broader discursive tradition of the hajj. Since the corpus is seen as dynamic and responsive to historical developments, the texts are situated in their historical context and the subsequent phases of globalisation. It is shown how in travelogues forms of religious subjectivity are constructed and expressed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Baghdad in the 18th and 19th centuries had predominantly been written by two groups. The first group is Baghdadi scholars, and the second group is travellers. These two resources complement each other; while the literature of Baghdadi scholars provides insights from inside, travelogues provide observations from outside. By implementing this interlocking method of investigation, we can reach a comprehensive understanding of the history of Baghdad. Having investigated some sources from inside in my previous book; Baghdad: an urban history through the lens of literature, the focus of this book is on travel literature. The history of travelogues throughout different periods of Baghdad’s history is highlighted, with a particular focus on 18th and 19th century travelogues. This period was a critical epoch of change, not just in Baghdad, but across the world. Nevertheless, this book does not intend to provide a documentary of the travellers who visited Baghdad. It is rather an analytical study of the colonial literature in relation to the historiography of Baghdad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the travels of Laszlo Gyermek, MD, PhD, a retired physician and researcher who has immigrated to the USA from Hungary in 1957 after the defeat of the uprising against the Soviet occupation and oppression of his native country. The source of his travelogues has been the numerous trips he has taken from the United States to more than sixty countries, particularly in the last three decades, which encompass mostly recreational trips/vacations, reflecting the authors wide-ranging interests in geographic and cultural explorations all over the world, but particularly in Europe, where he has established two regional residences: one in Southern France in 1983 and another one in Budapest, Hungary, in 2000. From these bases he originated many of these trips. The book is narrated in a unique, perhaps scattered and unusual, style, considering the many destinations in different time frames, often repeatedly, and covering the common, practical aspects of todays travels into foreign lands: from ticket purchases to challenges during travel-e.g., jet lag and other health problems. There is varied information from many social, economical, educational, and artistic aspects about many European countries first and, in the second half of the book, encountered in several overseas countries on five continents. The last part of the book deals with episodes in selected cities in the United States and abroad, often with a humoristic veneer. In essence, the reader is presented with a lot of material and with analytically aspired, but often critical and subjective, stories. Still, the author believes that the contents are worth going through and pondering about.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can people work on trains? Read on trains? There is so much happening outside! With these words, World Fantasy and Hugo Award-nominated artist Kathleen Jennings opens the door to a graceful, nuanced world of travel vignettes. With an affinity for words that’s equal to her celebrated artwork, Jennings captures the passing landscape with an illustrator’s eye for detail and a poet’s command of rich language and startling metaphors.

Each of these nine journeys is infused with wonder and rich, unfamiliar landscapes, and those who climb aboard will forever look at train travel with new eyes.

This book was released on 2010-09 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thesis (M.A.) from the year 2005 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,1, University of Potsdam (Anglistik/Amerikanistik), language: English, abstract: Diese Studie untersucht das Zusammenspiel zwischen imperialen und Weiblichkeitsdiskursen in den Reiseberichten britischer Frauen des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts. Im Besonderen werden die Reiseberichte von Lucie Duff Gordon und Amelia Edwards beleuchtet und hinsichtlich ihrer Einordnung in kulturelle, politische und soziale Zusammenhänge analysiert. Das Augenmerk liegt dabei hauptsächlich auf Konstruktionen von Geschlecht und Identität, um aufzuzeigen, dass britischen Mittelstandsfrauen, trotz der strengen patriarchalen Eingrenzung, die Kolonialherrschaft Englands emanzipatorische Auswege aufzeigte. Aufgrund des widersprüchlichen Verhältnisses von imperialen und als maskulin konnotierten Diskursen und Weiblichkeitsdiskursen des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts in den Reisetexten von Frauen, lassen sich Konstruiertheit und Instabilität beider Diskurse darstellen. Das erste Kapitel dieser Arbeit gibt einen Überblick über postkoloniale und feministische Ansätze bezüglich der Reiseliteratur von britischen Autorinnen. Es wird vor allem ein theoretischer Rahmen und eine Methode zur Analyse von imperialen Reisetexten herausgearbeitet. Darüberhinaus wird die Position des Kritikers/der Kritikerin dekonstruiert, um die diskursive Einbettung repräsentativer Praktiken zu beleuchten und einen selbst-kritischen Zusammenhang zwischen imperialer Vergangenheit und gegenwärtigen Diskursen zu knüpfen. Im zweiten Kapitel wird auf die konkrete historische und kulturelle Situation von viktorianischen Frauen eingegangen. Der zweite Teil des Kapitels befasst sich dann näher mit der historischen Entwicklung des Reisens und der Tradition von reisenden Frauen im neunzehnten Jahrhundert. Zwei konkrete Texte von zwei viktorianischen Autorinnen werden ausführlich im dritten und vierten Kapitel besprochen. Sowohl Amel

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together twenty-two authors from various countries who analyze travelogues on the Ottoman Empire between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries. The travelogues reflect the colorful diversity of the genre, presenting the experiences of individuals and groups from China to Great Britain. The spotlight falls on interdependencies of travel writing and historiography, geographic spaces, and specific practices such as pilgrimages, the hajj, and the harem. Other points of emphasis include the importance of nationalism, the place and time of printing, representations of fashion, and concepts of masculinity and femininity. By displaying close, comparative, and distant readings, the volume offers new insights into perceptions of "otherness", the circulation of knowledge, intermedial relations, gender roles, and digital analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “melodious” mix of music, history, and travelogue “reveals a story inextricably linked to the drama of Russia itself . . . These pages sing like a symphony.” —The Wall Street Journal Siberia’s story is traditionally one of exiles, penal colonies, and unmarked graves. Yet there is another tale to tell. Dotted throughout this remote land are pianos—grand instruments created during the boom years of the nineteenth century, as well as humble Soviet-made uprights that found their way into equally modest homes. They tell the story of how, ever since entering Russian culture under the westernizing influence of Catherine the Great, piano music has run through the country like blood. How these pianos traveled into this snowbound wilderness in the first place is testament to noble acts of fortitude by governors, adventurers, and exiles. Siberian pianos have accomplished extraordinary feats, from the instrument that Maria Volkonsky, wife of an exiled Decembrist revolutionary, used to spread music east of the Urals, to those that brought reprieve to the Soviet Gulag. That these instruments might still exist in such a hostile landscape is remarkable. That they are still capable of making music in far-flung villages is nothing less than a miracle. The Lost Pianos of Siberia follows Roberts on a three-year adventure as she tracks a number of instruments to find one whose history is definitively Siberian. Her journey reveals a desolate land inhabited by wild tigers and deeply shaped by its dark history, yet one that is also profoundly beautiful—and peppered with pianos. “An elegant and nuanced journey through literature, through history, through music, murder and incarceration and revolution, through snow and ice and remoteness, to discover the human face of Siberia. I loved this book.” —Paul Theroux
