Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from European Days and Ways Of course, there are many Books of Travel, and yet there seems room for this one more. In 1899 I went abroad, with my wife, son, and daughter. We landed at Naples, and traveled thence through Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Holland, Belgium, France, England, and Scotland. Before leaving home, after much inquiry and searching many libraries, I could find no single book covering our entire proposed route and these several countries well, and have found none since giving things as we saw them. Moreover, my son had already been over twice, and so enabled us to see, I think, at least twice as much as Americans usually see, and to see things twice as well. Hence this volume, which really seems needed by Americans going abroad, and by others fond of European travel by proxy. It is not a Guide-book, nor a "Sentimental Journey," but a common-sense account of Europe as it is. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Hundred Days in Europe After a short excursion to Strasbourg, down the Rhine, and through Holland, a small steamer took us from Rotterdam across the Channel, and we found ourselves in the British capital. The great sight in London is London. No man understands himself as an infinitesimal until he has been a drop in that ocean, a grain of sand on that sea margin, a mote in its sunbeam, or the fog or smoke which stands for it; in plainer phrase, a unit among its millions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from By-Ways of Europe This is probably the last volume of travels which I shall ever publish. It closes a series of personal and literary experiences which cannot be renewed, and which I have no belief will be extended. Now, therefore, all that I have done as a traveller detaches itself from my other labors, lies clear behind me as a life by itself, and may be considered with a degree of self-criticism which was scarcely possible while it lay nearer. The brief review which I desire to make, must necessarily be autobiograph ical in its character, and I am aware that this is question able ground. But as I have been specially styled, for so many years and little to my own satisfaction, a traveller or a tourist, and in either character have received praise and blame, equally founded on a misconception of the facts and hopes of my life, I claim the privilege, this once, to set the truth before those who may care to hear it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ninety Days Worth of Europe There has been no period till now when we have had a smooth enough sea for me to write even thus ill. But really our detail has been little. It is just possible that a schooner may have announced that she spoke as Wednesday night. If she arrives at Boston, it will not be that she has not been sent to a hotter place by everybody who has alluded to her in our party (excepting me, who sympathize with her skip per, and am afraid I should have done just what he did). The skipper thought he was going to be run down, and fired two guns. This he should never have done, unless he were in distress; but, as he did it, gallant Capt. Leitch in all that stiff gale lay by, and sent a boat on board him, only to learn that his distress rose from his fears that he did not see him. So, as far as I can learn, he got quite distinctly con demned for his pains; and we proceeded again to our business of getting to Europe. By rigid con tinuance in it, we were able to take a pilot this morn ing: a very pretty and exciting sight, two pilot schooners vying for our custom, and the successful Bluenose having to pull a mile in his fine little dory over such waves as you never saw. By the time he reached us, his nose was as red as a peach blow. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Present-Day Europe: Its National States of Mind This book resolved itself from the first into a series of choices. The problem was, how to portray within the limits of a single volume the war psychology of the various European nations. That problem was not an easy one. The portrayal of national states of mind requires treatment differing radically from that employed in a narrative of events. The only satisfactory method of portraying thought and emotion is the use of direct evidence - the testimony of the people themselves. This explains the numerous direct quotations which will be found in the succeeding pages. No words of a foreign observer could mirror the spirit of warring Europe as do the voices of its sons and daughters crying out from a full heart in the very hour of trial. The evidence adduced has been of the most contemporary and popular character. Speeches, press-comment, pamphlets, brochures - the words of and for the moment: these best bespeak the stirrings of the national soul. Official utterances, carefully weighed and craftily spoken as they are, are never quoted save when they faithfully represent popular feeling or when they produce a marked effect upon public opinion. Lastly, natives alone are permitted upon the witness stand. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Europe's Morning After The material for this book was gathered during the end of 1919 and the early months of 1920. This period was unique in the history of Europe. Both the old nations and the new nations were just beginning to sit up after their four-year debauch of warfare and to realize that they ought to take something for the awful headaches from which they were suffering. Pessimism was rampant. The en tire outlook was a rich dark brown in color. The money of the Central European nations was tum bling to new low levels from day to day. The dazed business men of those nations hadn't learned how to keep pace with the falling exchange. Each nation, as it weakly took up the burden of living in the morning, confidently expected its neighbor nations to expire miserably from anaemia before nightfall or at least by the following Friday. Nobody knew what was going to happen; and those who made any predictions were usually wrong. An Austrian or a Pole or a Czech or a Magyar might go to Sleep at eventide with the equivalent of eleven dollars in his trousers pocket, secure in the conviction that he was going to buy a pair of shoes with his money on the following day; but when he awoke to the rosy flush of a new dawn, prices might have doubled.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from We Four: Where We Went and What We Saw in Europe The Centennial Exposition - the glorious triumph of '76 and Philadelphia - was over; the immigration of country friends had ceased; the exodus of foreigners had commenced; and a dulness fell upon us like the plague of darkness that had fallen upon Egypt when their foreigners wanted to return to their own country. Suffering as we did from this terrible spirit of unrest, we looked around, seeking something to occupy our minds, and there, before us, was Utopia, - the most magnificent of cities, - the Paradise of the earth, as Monsieur A., with all a Frenchman's vivacity of appropriate gestures, said, "I kiss my hand to thee, Paris, la belle ville!" Yes! to quiet that perturbed spirit we decided to visit the Exposition to be held in Paris in 1878, and planned and anticipated and talked, while our friends looked scornfully on and concluded it would all end in plans, anticipation, and talk. But we patiently bided our time. "Who is meant by We?" I hear somebody ask. Allow us to introduce ourselves.

Download or read book How the Irish Saved Civilization written by Thomas Cahill and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2010-04-28 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A book in the best tradition of popular history—the untold story of Ireland's role in maintaining Western culture while the Dark Ages settled on Europe. • The perfect St. Patrick's Day gift! Every year millions of Americans celebrate St. Patrick's Day, but they may not be aware of how great an influence St. Patrick was on the subsequent history of civilization. Not only did he bring Christianity to Ireland, he instilled a sense of literacy and learning that would create the conditions that allowed Ireland to become "the isle of saints and scholars"—and thus preserve Western culture while Europe was being overrun by barbarians. In this entertaining and compelling narrative, Thomas Cahill tells the story of how Europe evolved from the classical age of Rome to the medieval era. Without Ireland, the transition could not have taken place. Not only did Irish monks and scribes maintain the very record of Western civilization -- copying manuscripts of Greek and Latin writers, both pagan and Christian, while libraries and learning on the continent were forever lost—they brought their uniquely Irish world-view to the task. As Cahill delightfully illustrates, so much of the liveliness we associate with medieval culture has its roots in Ireland. When the seeds of culture were replanted on the European continent, it was from Ireland that they were germinated. In the tradition of Barbara Tuchman's A Distant Mirror, How The Irish Saved Civilization reconstructs an era that few know about but which is central to understanding our past and our cultural heritage. But it conveys its knowledge with a winking wit that aptly captures the sensibility of the unsung Irish who relaunched civilization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Afoot and Awheel in Europe It was May, 1910, the year of the Passion Play at Oberammergau, that found a quartette of expectant travellers, of whom the writer of this chronicle was one, on the deck of the steamer Celtic in New York Harbor, ready to sail over seas. Some shadows they had left behind them: some solace and much joy they hoped to find among the new scenes of the Old World - a hope, the record of whose fulfilment is told in the pages of this book. The good-byes had been said, the quartette hastened to their staterooms, made themselves busy arranging their tokens of love and friendship that loving friends had sent to the ship with their good-byes, so as not to see the fading forms of the loved ones left behind, and the good ship left her moorings and made her way out to sea. The days passed as most days do on shipboard, watching the changing lights and shadows that played over the deep blue sea, noting the peaceful rise and fall of the horizon, veritably being rocked in the cradle of the deep. Between the sunlight, shadows, and sea there came a restfulness of the spirit that followed us through our seven months' travels in Europe, and also on our homeward course, until our hearts leaped for joy when our eyes fell upon Old Glory in New York Harbor.
