Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Lady's Walks in the South of France in 1863 My extremely slender means compelled me to travel humbly, and to mix a good deal with the people; I saw, therefore, much more of actual French life among the middle and laborious classes, than most travellers do. I atter myself that though English, I am unprejudiced; and that in comparing the customs of the two countries, and the manners of their people, the balance has been fairly struck. It was not always on the side of my own country-folks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt: ... light of a model, sitting to me for her portrait--a mere study of character. Once I was very much amused. I have stated how Madame had cheated me out of the window-curtains which were in the rooms when I engaged them, in order to save their wear and tear, and washing during the winter. One day she came in as usual to work by my fire, trailing six or seven yards of dimity behind her, and sitting down by the window, began with melancholy looks to cut, and patch, and shape--'Mais qu'est-ce que vous fakes done, madame, ' said I mischievously, seeing perfectly well from my bed what her work was. 'Je fais des reparations' (a deep sigh); 'I mend the curtains that belong to these rooms--I had put them dans le grenier against spring, when I meant to have them washed clean, and put up before les etrangers came; and, voyez-vous 1' holding them up--' les ratt me les ont tout mangS.' I couldn't for the life of me help laughing outright. She would not let me have them; and Nemesis had avenged me in the form of a rat. However, Madame was kind to me in her way. She used to bring me apples and pears, and books to read. She was always willing to show any kindness that did not cost money, but to save had become an instinct with her. It was stronger than she was. A strange thing happened one day as she sat with me. We were talking of the sorrow that there is for everybody in the world, in some form or other, at some time or other of their lives. 'Yes, ' said I; 'and not only for human beings, but for animals, as St. Paul says, "the whole creation groaneth and travaileth together, waiting for the restoration of all things." If one considers it--how sad it is that there should be so much pain and death in the world from the inferior creatures preying...

Download or read book Unsuitable for Ladies written by Jane Robinson and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2001 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Real ladies do not travel - or so it was once said. This collection of women's travel writing dispels the notion by showing how there are few corners of the world that have not been visited by women travellers. There are also few difficulties, physical or emotional, real or imagined, thathave not been met and usually overcome by thesesame women.Jane Robinson's first book,Wayward Women, was a guide to women travellers and their writing, and having read over a thousand of their books she is uniquely qualified to compile this anthology. Life is never dull for her intrepid women, whether diving to the bed of the Timor Sea or reaching thesummit of Annapurna. From an encounter with a snake in the Amazon jungle to shipwreck and kidnap on the Barbary Coast, there are tales of adventure, derring-do, and great danger. There are also moving accounts of unimaginable hardship, includingcaring for a family in an ammunition cart during the siege of Delhi and a journey through Tibet that leaves its author childless and widowed.There is no such thing as a typical woman traveller--and there never has been--as this exhilarating anthology shows on a journey of its own through sixteen centuries of travel writing, aboard almost anything from a Bugatti to a Bath chair. You are taken as far afield as it is possible to go, in thecompany of some of the most extraordinary characters you are ever likely to meet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 23 September 1878 Stevenson set out from Le Monastier in the Haut Loire, to tramp through the wild region of the Cevennes.

Download or read book A Walking Tour in Southern France written by Ezra Pound and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 1992 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rummaging through his papers in 1958, Ezra Pound came across a cache of notebooks dating back to the summer of 1912, when as a young man he had walked the troubadour landscape of southern France. Pound had been fascinated with the poetry of medieval Provence since his college days. His experiments with the complex lyric forms of Arnaut Daniel, Bertran de Born, and others were included in his earliest books of poems; his scholarly pursuits in the field found their way into The Spirit of Romance (1910); and the troubadour mystique was to become a resonant motif of the Cantos. In the course of transcribing and emending the text of "Walking Tour 1912", editor Richard Sieburth retraced Pound's footsteps along the roads to the troubadour castles. "What this peripatetic editing process...revealed", he writes, "was a remarkably readable account of a journey in search of the vanished voices of Provence that at the same time chronicled Pound's gradual discovery of himself as a modernist poet...".

Download or read book On the Wandering Paths written by Sylvain Tesson and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2022-08-02 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A walking journey through France’s vast interior becomes a meditation on both personal recovery and the role of history in the present—more than 425,000 copies sold in France After a free-climbing accident lands him in a coma and a hospital for four months, the French writer Sylvain Tesson makes a promise to himself: if he’s ever able to walk again, he will traverse the entire country of France on foot. Part literary adventure, part philosophical reflection on our contemporary consumer culture, On the Wandering Paths takes us deep into the heart of what Tesson terms France’s “hyperrural” zones. Tracing the obscure paths peasants once followed throughout the countryside, Tesson embarks on a three-month journey of solitude and personal contemplation as he walks along vast stretches of mountain ranges and rivers, encountering ancient Roman stone bridges and walkways, the French Foreign Legion, pagan prayer sites, Provençal villages, and the majestic Mont-Saint-Michel. Connecting deeply with the places he visits, his experiences inspire reflection on the essential need to disengage from the digital and immerse oneself in natural beauty. Rich with humor, historical insight, and literary power, On the Wandering Paths is both a meditation on the act of recovery and a potent recognition of the traces of our past in the present. Asking us to reassess our values and our relationship to the land, Tesson’s exquisite chronicle through landscapes that continue to resist urbanization and technology is a thoughtful—and thought-provoking—glimpse into a poet’s adventurous life. Les Chemins de Pierre, a film based on the book starring Jean Dujardin, is due to release in 2022.
