Download or read book A Fortnight in Egypt at the Opening of the Suez Canal written by Sir Frederick Arrow and published by . This book was released on 1869 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Captain Sir Frederick Arrow was Deputy Master of Trinity House, an historic mariners' guild responsible for the provision and maintenance of navigational aids in the British Isles and Gibraltar. In 1869, Sir Frederick received an official invitation from Ismail Pasha, hereditary Khedive and Viceroy of Egypt, to attend the lavish opening and special ceremonies of the Suez Canal, November, 1869. One of the events was the presentation of Verdi's "Rigoletto" at Cairo's glittering Opera House, a substitute for "Aida" which the composer had failed to complete on time. The Khedive was disappointed, but not nearly as much as Sir Frederick was on learning that there were two classes of invitations for the opening: one for Royalty and one for the likes of Sir Frederick. He became an informal chronicler of these events and in this work, relates his reactions to one of the great events of the 19th century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A people’s history of the Olympics.”—New York Times Book Review A Boston Globe Best Book of the Year A Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of the Year The Games is best-selling sportswriter David Goldblatt’s sweeping, definitive history of the modern Olympics. Goldblatt brilliantly traces their history from the reinvention of the Games in Athens in 1896 to Rio in 2016, revealing how the Olympics developed into a global colossus and highlighting how they have been buffeted by (and affected by) domestic and international conflicts. Along the way, Goldblatt reveals the origins of beloved Olympic traditions (winners’ medals, the torch relay, the eternal flame) and popular events (gymnastics, alpine skiing, the marathon). And he delivers memorable portraits of Olympic icons from Jesse Owens to Nadia Comaneci, the Dream Team to Usain Bolt.

Download or read book Squadron written by John Broich and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This naval history reveals the story of Victorian-era officers and abolitionists who fought the illegal slave trade in the Indian Ocean. Though the British Empire outlawed the slave trade in 1807, many British ships continued the practice for decades along the eastern coast of Africa. The Royal Navy’s response was to dispatch a squadron charged with patrolling the African coast for rogue slave ships. In Squadron, John Broich tells the story of the four Royal Naval officers who made it their personal mission to end the still-rampant slave trade. The campaign was quickly cancelled when it began to interfere with the interests of the wealthy merchant class. But in time, a coalition of naval officers and abolitionists forced the British government’s hand into eradicating the slave trade entirely. Drawing on firsthand accounts and archives throughout the U.K., Broich tells a tale of defiance in the face of political corruption, while delivering thrills in the tradition of high seas heroism. If it weren’t a true story, Squadron would be right at home alongside Patrick O’Brian’s Master and Commander series.
