Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Granada: Twenty Months in the Andes The author claims of the publishers the right to make one more acknowledgment of obligation, and that is to themselves. The liberality with which they have acceded to every wish of his, involving outlays far beyond what was at first intended, is one of the most pleasing circumstances in the retrospect of the long and unremitted toil this day concluded. And if succeed ing travelers shall find in the book that aid which the writer sought in vain, and the philanthropist shall feel his best sympa thies aroused for one of the most liberal and free nations on the face of the globe, that toil will not be unrewarded.

Download or read book The Gilded Man written by Clifford Smyth and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gilded Man: A Romance of the Andes Two dreams have persistently haunted the imagination of man since dreams began. You find them in all mythologies, and, perhaps most dramatically, in the Arabian Nights: the dream of the Water of Immortality, and the dream of the Golden City. Within recent times - that is, during the sixteenth century - both were lifted out of the region of fairy lore, and men as far from "dreamers," in the ordinary sense, as the "conquistador" Ponce de Leon and Sir Walter Raleigh raised them into the sphere of something like Elizabethan practical politics. Whether or not Ponce de Leon did actually discover the Fountain of Eternal Youth on the Bimini Islands concerns us but incidentally here. At all events, he seems to have died without drinking of it; as death on the scaffold was the penalty for Raleigh's failure to discover El Dorado. So practically had the courts of Elizabeth and James regarded the dream of the Golden City, and so firm had been Raleigh's own belief in it. Though Raleigh's name is most conspicuously and tragically connected with it, of course it had been Spanish adventurers for several generations before - exploring that "Spanish Main" which they had already, and in romance forever, made their own - who had given that dream its local habitation and its name.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.
