It was another's. Even this little thing made me feel sadder, and when I could no longer be sure I saw you even en masse, nor tell whether you had left the deck of the ship, I soon made the coolness of the air an excuse to go to our state-room, there to wait until I was brave enough to resolve to be cheerful, and enjoy all things that presented, which were lawful and convenient.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glimpses of the Dark Ages: Or Sketches of the Social Condition of Europe, From the Fifth to Twelfth Century IN the following sketch, the author has confined himself to one branch of the History of the Middle Ages. He attempts nothing more than a glance at the social condition of Europe, from the fifth to the twelfth century; political affairs, military transac tions, the rise and fall of dynasties, the relation of European states to each other, and the lives and deeds of the heroes of those days, do not come with in the range of his plan. He has marked out the first six centuries of the middle ages for separate consideration, because in the twelfth century a new epoch commenced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glances at Europe by Horace Greeley If there be any reader impelled to dip into notes of foreign travel mainly by a solicitude to perfect his knowledge of the manners and habits of good society, to which end he is anxious to learn how my Lord Shuffleton waltzes, what wine Baron Hob-and-nob patronizes, which tints predominate in Lady Highflyer's dress, and what is the probable color of the Duchess of Doublehose's garters, he will only waste his time by looking through this volume. Even if the species of literature he admires had not already been overdone, I have neither taste nor capacity for increasing it. It was my fortune sometimes while in Europe to "sit at good men's feasts," but I brought nothing away from them for the public, not even the names of my entertainers and their notable guests. If I had felt at liberty to sketch what struck me as the personal characteristics of some gentlemen of note or rank whom I met, especially in England, I do not doubt that the popular interest in those letters would have been materially heightened. I did not, however, deem myself authorized to do this. In a few instances, where individuals challenged observation and criticism by consenting to address public gatherings, I have spoken of the matter and manner of their speeches and indicated the impressions they made on me. Beyond this I did not feel authorized to go, even in the case of public men speaking to the public through reports for the daily press; while those whom I only met privately or in the discharge of kindred duties, as Jurors at the Exhibition, I have not felt at liberty to bring before the public at all. Having thus explained what will seem to many a lack of piquancy, in the following pages, implying a privation of social opportunities, I drop the subject. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes and Thoughts in Europe Certain classes of books are such favorites, that nearly the Whole responsibility of publishing them should be borne by the public. The eagerness with which they are read is a premium on their production. The traveller in foreign lands finds the privacy of his letters and journal encroached Upon While writing them, by the thought that they may be turned into Copy for the printer. To so many others has this happened, that the possibility of its happening to himself cannot be kept out of his mind, spotting, it may be, the candor of his statements. Afterwards, when he nas been at home long enough for the incidents of his jour ney to grow by distance of time into reminiscences, what he wrote on the spot comes upon him with unexpected freshness and distinctness. Himself gets information and entertainment from the perusal of his notes, letters and diary. In this state of semi-self-complacency, the public urgently invites him to its broad tables - invites him through the kindness wherewith it has loaded so many of his book-blazoned fellow-travellers. He begins to criticise his manuscript; to shape it by excisions, by additions to calculate quantity; to confer With a popular publisher, who is of course in close league With the public, - until at last, he finds that his manuscript has been made away with and in its stead he has proof sheets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Wake of the Green Banner The room was high and wide. A trefoil-shaped opening faced the door. Through the trefoil the glance swept the European town. A glimpse through the door revealed a Moorish peristyle, a pergola, an Oriental city bathed in the transparencies of late afternoon's atmosphere, and an endless perspective of palm gardens. There was little light in the solemn apartment. Blue on the limewash of the vaulted ceiling, violet on the pink walls where the arabesques of a whimsical frieze shone with a glitter of molten brass, twilight shadow was the true inmate of the room. A thick Persian rug covered the mosaic. Three onyx steps led to an alcove. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from European: Life, Legend, and Landscape Fear not, my friend, that I am about to exhaust your patience, and consume your time, with a repetition of the oft-told tale of those who go down to the sea in ships - of storms and calms and hairbreadth 'scapes; of vast leviathan and seaman's story; yet I cannot bid farewell to Ocean without a tribute to his memory, though I parted from him without a sigh. The "multitudinous laughter of his waves" have wrought my soul to joyful sympathy, and the western winds that wafted me from home, have seemed like messengers from my native land; and their voices, as they whispered music amid the cordage, though sad, have seemed like the voices of accompanying angels, and have left an echo of peace in my heart. It would be well for all, who leave home for far countries, the first time, that the sea should be their earliest highway. In its entire isolation there is ample space for thought, and in its infinity an exhibition of the Divine, which becomes a consolation. Here, there are few things to attract the attention, or compel it to the contemplation of current realities; and thus the mind is involuntarily and necessarily led back to memories of perished pleasures; and the ghosts of past hours, clothed not in the cerements of the tomb, but crowned with the flowers of youth and happiness, haunt every moonbeam, and dance on each sunlit wave.

Download or read book The Glimpses of the Moon written by Edith Wharton and published by Union Square & Co.. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Susy Branch and Nick Lansing are typical Wharton heroes: popular, attractive, and much poorer than their “international set” friends. Like Lily Bart in The House of Mirth, the two depend on the largesse of more privileged acquaintances to get by. Recognizing in each other a desire for the finer things in life, they decide to get married and, knowing that their friends will happily provide fabulous accommodations, live rent-free on an extended honeymoon until either one of them finds a better match—at which point they will amicably divorce and sail off into their separate, wealthier sunsets. But a romantic tour of Europe can confuse even the most mercenary hearts. And when a friend asks for a favor in exchange for the use of her palazzo, Susy and Nick realize that everything in this sophisticated world comes at a price: one that their hearts and consciences may no longer allow them to pay. . .

Book excerpt: “Filled with tongue-in-cheek humor…a gently fantastical world brimming with teen shenanigans.” —Publishers Weekly Perfect for fans of Geekerella and Jenn Bennett, this charming, sparkly rom-com follows a wish-granting teen forced to question if she’s really doing good—and if she has the power to make her own dreams come true. Charity is a fairy godmother. She doesn’t wear a poofy dress or go around waving a wand, but she does make sure the deepest desires of the student population at Jack London High School come true. And she knows what they want even better than they do because she can glimpse their perfect futures. But when Charity fulfills a glimpse that gets Vindhya crowned homecoming queen, it ends in disaster. Suddenly, every wish Charity has ever granted is called into question. Has she really been helping people? Where do these glimpses come from, anyway? What if she’s not getting the whole picture? Making this existential crisis way worse is Noah—the adorkable and (in Charity’s opinion) diabolical ex of one of her past clients—who blames her for sabotaging his prom plans and claims her interventions are doing more harm than good. He demands that she stop granting wishes and help him get his girl back. At first, Charity has no choice but to play along. But soon, Noah becomes an unexpected ally in getting to the bottom of the glimpses. Before long, Charity dares to call him her friend…and even starts to wish he were something more. But can the fairy godmother ever get the happily ever after?
