Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Along Mediterranean Shores How would you like to go on a pilgrimage with me? In old times pilgrims toiled over thousands of weary miles on foot and suffered many perils on land or sea in their long journey to the Holy Land; but you and I need only to board a luxurious ocean steamer. Our pilgrimage will be to the Holy Land too, and on the way we shall see many other strange and interesting countries, for I wish to take you with me on a trip lasting many weeks, along the warm shores of that greatest of inland seas, the Mediterranean. There we shall see many lands famous in the history of the world. Over the blue Mediterranean the Ph nicians, the earliest sailors and traders we know about, rowed their small boats. Along its shores coasted the Greek triremes, with their three banks of oars and their one large sail, on their peaceful journeys to their colonies in Italy or Sicily. On its surface floated the war galleys of the proud Romans, bearing the soldiers who were to meet and subdue all the nations around its shores. Later the cruel Turks crossed it, fighting to set the crescent of Mohammed above the cross of Christ. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Mediterranean written by William Henry Smyth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-03 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mediterranean: A Memoir Physical, Historical, and Nautical The undertaking, though heavy, is nevertheless not wanting either in interest or importance: the Mediterranean Sea, so secondary in extent compared with others, being, per 86, of vast surface, with many of its characteristics on the grandest scale. Besides, viewing it as the actual site where the intellectual culture to which we are most directly indebted was first developed, it cannot but be regarded for its portentous historical occurrences; nor will a sailor fbrget that it is the sea whereon the fleets of Carthage, Greece, and-rome contended in former days, and those of Spain, France, Italy, and England in later times. The grand object of travelling, ' Said Dr. Johnson to General Paoli, 'is to see the, shores of the Mediter ranean. On those shores Were the four great empires of the world the Assyrian, the pers1an, the Greek, and the Roman. All our religion, almost all our arts, almost all that sets us above savages, has come to us from the shores of the Mediterranean.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mediterranean Trip: A Short Guide to the Principal Points on the Shores of the Western Mediterranean and the Levant For many people, sea-sickness is inevitable. The best medical authorities agree that, like any other sickness, it is to be avoided if possible. Do not, therefore, delude yourself with the notion that sea sickness will do you good. Have the system in good order before sailing. A voyage undertaken after days of work and worry in getting ready to sail, or after a series of heavy dining and wining parties, is sure to be uncomfortable. Take life as easily as possible before going aboard ship; and have the digestive organs in good condition by means of gentle purgatives and the use of a plain and simple diet for a day or two before sailing.

Download or read book The Mediterranean Shores of America Southern California written by P. C. Remondino and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mediterranean Shores of America, Southern California: Its Climatic, Physical, and Meteorological Conditions Climate is a wonderful as well as a powerful factor - be it in religion, arts, sciences, or civilization. It makes morality and creeds; the wild and weird mysteries of Eulesis, the festivals of the Roman Flora, or the orgies that accompanied the feasts and worship of Dionysius or Bacchus, never could have taken place except between certain degrees of latitude. Climate determines the diet, occupation, the diseases of which we shall suffer and die, as well as the average length of our existence; it determines our temper, faculties, and facilities for acquiring knowledge and the arts. Climate is, in fact, as observed by Montesquieu, the most powerful of all empires. We need but observe the effects of the American climate on Europeans, and of the European climate on the Americans, to become convinced of the truth of this assertion. Southern California climatology is quite a study; many of its meteorological results are even real puzzles, - puzzles met with nowhere else. It has many oddities; for instance, one of the greatest peculiarities or oddities of this climate consists in the relative conditions existing between the degrees of temperature and the degrees of atmospheric humidity. It is this atmospheric condition that puzzles all new-comers, and that is incomprehensible to the average observer of meteorological conditions and their results.

The image that holds the rhythm of beauty and passion in this weave of the land and the race concentrates and condenses in the dancer; and thus the author transfers to the page, in his descriptions of the dance, the image of a life rather than of men and women, strange cities and dark night-caves and bright festas of the sun. It is a lover of beauty in every form who here writes with the artist's delight; color and line and cadence are perceived and felt as the harmonies of life itself.
