Book excerpt: Excerpt from With the World's Great Travellers, Vol. 6 In any excursion we just see what we take with us to see. According to mood or stock of information we see the bricks that hide the poetry, or the picture minus its paint ing. A ruin may be the visible foundation of a castle in the air, or simply a stone-heap. If there is one sacred spot where the stones cry out for the passer-by to hear their ser mons, songs, or wails, it is Rome. One treads on the dust of the mightiest people of the past. All around are the symbols of power and pomp. We drop the thread of ancient story only to find we have to link it with present achieve ments. The old and new meet here on common ground, with the Colosseum for their greeting-place and St. Peter's as a living force of to-day. The eternal city keeps its sn tiquities as of old, of course, and adds to them by dragging others from the earth, but since the court moved to Rome from Florence much modernizing of the city has been in progress. This will be less regretted when we consider that in digging foundations for new buildings there are constant ly being unearthed precious treasures of art. In the fifteen years ending with 1888 it was officially reported that one hundred and ninety-two marble statues; two hundred and sixty-six busts, seventy-seven columns, four hundred bronzes, and no fewer than thirty-seven thousand gold and silver coins had been discovered in this way.

This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from With the World's Great Travellers, Vol. 7 The approach from the sea reminds the traveller of his first sight of Holland. The city slowly rises out of the water, and stops when its basement windows are level with the waves. Peter ignored all the unfavorable conditions and protests. The word was given and great armies of Babel-tongued Tartars, Cossacks, Finns, and Siberian ex iles were swiftly driven to the spot and ordered to dig the foundations of a city. Like the Israelites in Egypt they were compelled to make bricks without straw, dig the swamp with or without spades, build huts whether they had sufficient materials or not. Thousands of these wretches perished in the first year, but thirty thousand houses were set up. Then artisans and workmen were driven by brute force to settle in the embryo capital. Merchants and nobles who owned five hundred souls, otherwise serfs, were made to build their homes in the new Peter-town, and - stay there even through the winters. No more stone houses were allowed to be built in Russia, because all the masons were coralled in the rising city. No vessels were allowed to enter the wharves unless each brought a cargo of stone as a free-will offering. Thus grew the capital whose foundations are the bones of martyrs to the cruelest despot ism since the days of the Pharaohs.

This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from With the World's Great Travellers, Vol. 4 Notre Dame is not a modern imitation. The great cathedral stands on the little Ile de la Cite which was the beginning of Paris, inhabited two thousand years ago by the Parisii, a Celtic tribe whose name survives. For eight centuries it has been a Christian church. The west front is rich in statues of the kings of France. The originals were destroyed in the Revolution, but have been replaced. The cathedral itself was turned into the mockery of a Temple of Reason, with a woman of the town enthroned as its deity. Napoleon's wise statesmanship restored the church to its rightful usages. The Commune once more made free with the old shrine, using it as barracks. Among its relics is the robe Archbishop Darboy wore when the Communists put him to death. The churches of Paris have weird stories to tell. The sacred spot where Gene vieve, the patron saint of Paris, was buried, in the sixth century, was a place of worship until the Revolution changed it into a Pantheon. It became a church once more in 1851, though in its crypt lie Voltaire, Rousseau, and other famous writers. The tomb of Napoleon is be neath the Dome of the Church of the Invalides, attached to the home for veterans founded by Louis XIV.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from With the World's Great Travellers, Vol. 8 Canadian winters are warmed up by the love of sport which characterizes the people. In Montreal it has long been the custom to erect a huge and thoroughly artistic pal ace with ice blocks for stones. Thousands come from near and far to the festivals held in the palace grounds. When the electric lights add their brilliance the scene is entran cing. Snow-shoe clubs are popular, each with its blanket uniform, and they combine choral music With their moon light games. The Canadian toboggan has found a welcome in many lands during recent years. A winter holiday has more attractions than terrors for most strangers after the first few days. The air is cold, dry and bracing. The eu ergy of the people is remarkable. Canada has its titled magnates, its great philanthropists, its scholars and writ ers, and has sent its volunteer soldiers to share the perils and honors of England's wars. It also offers the finest mountain scenery, in the Selkirk range, as another induce ment to travellers to make its closer acquaintance.

Book Synopsis H.P. Lovecraft's Worlds - Volume 1: The Lurking Fear and Other Tales by : H.P. Lovecraft
Download or read book H.P. Lovecraft's Worlds - Volume 1: The Lurking Fear and Other Tales written by H.P. Lovecraft and published by Caliber Comics. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A chilling collection of four Lovecraft tales adapted by award winning comic writer Steven Philip Jones. Lovecraft is considered one of America’s most innovative and popular American horror writers. The master of the weird tale during the first decades of the 20th Century until his premature death in 1937, Lovecraft’s distinctive style and canon of work has influenced many authors. Jones takes the classic tales and while remaining true to the source, brings them into the modern age which can sometimes make the horror even more terrifying. These tales are illustrated by Octavio Cariello who has worked on DC's Green Lantern, Deathstroke, and Black Lightning comic series. The four illustrated stories within this Volume are "The Lurking Fear" where Arthur Monroe explores a sinkhole where bodies are found, savagely torn apart is if by wild animals. "Beyond the Wall of Sleep" shows that the power of the mind is a mysterious thing and when a researcher finds that he and a criminal patient are somehow linked, the effect can go beyond just mysterious. "The Tomb" tells the tale of Jervas Dudley, who is convinced ghosts exist and when he visits the site where his ancestors perished 200 years ago, he might just find out for sure, and "The Alchemist", for over 600 years the male descendants of the Chabrillane family have all inexplicably perished on their 32nd birthday. Now, the last Count de Chabrillane is about to turn 32.
