Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Mist of the Mountains Still you continue to look in front of you as far as may be. And the next moment the veil lifts, clean up over your head perhaps, and you see it rolling away on the wind to one side of you, yards and yards of flying white gossamer, its ragged edges catching in the trees. And now your gaze leaps and lingers, and lingers and leaps for miles in front Of you. You look downward and the ball of the earth has split at your feet and the huge fissure has widened and widened till a limitless valley lies there. You look down hundreds of feet and see like sprouting seedlings the tops of gum trees, - gum trees two hundred feet high. The far Side of the valley shows a rolling mountain chain washed in in tender shades of purple, paling nearer at hand to blue, the tender indescribable mountain blue. Great jagged headlands hang perilously over the deep, and the Silver thread of a distant water fall gleams here and there down the face of the gorges of whose wonderful beauty the tourist has heard and comes thousands of miles to see. A billowy cloud, soft and dazzling as snow, has fallen from the sky or risen with the mist. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of a Mountain Without knowing exactly whither my steps were lead ing me, I turned towards those great mountains whose jagged crests I beheld breaking the distant line of the horizon. Ou I went, following by-paths, and in the evening stopping before isolated inns. The sound of a human voice, the noise of a footstep, made me shudder; but when I was walking alone I listened with melancholy pleasure to the birds singing, the river murmuring, and the thousand strains proceeding from the vast woods.

Download or read book Woman Running in the Mountains written by Yuko Tsushima and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in 1970s Japan, this tender and poetic novel about a young, single mother struggling to find her place in the world is an early triumph by a modern Japanese master. Alone at dawn, in the heat of midsummer, a young woman named Takiko Odaka departs on foot for the hospital to give birth to a baby boy. Her pregnancy, the result of a brief affair with a married man, is a source of sorrow and shame to her abusive parents. For Takiko, however, it is a cause for reverie. Her baby, she imagines, will be hers and hers alone, a challenge that she also hopes will free her. Takiko’s first year as a mother is filled with the intense bodily pleasures and pains that come from caring for a newborn. At first she seeks refuge in the company of other women—in the hospital, in her son’s nursery—but as the baby grows, her life becomes less circumscribed as she explores Tokyo, then ventures beyond the city into the countryside, toward a mountain that captures her imagination and desire for a wilder freedom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mountain Playmates There are great compensations awaiting those who have spent their youth in a level, inland coun try. If one has reached maturity before he stands for the first time in the presence of the sea or mountains, the impression left is as clean cut as an intaglio crisp and sharp in detail, it makes an imperishable memory. It is a distinct loss to have the edge of sublimity dulled by too great famil iarity, especially by the familiarity that comes from having grown up with an object, so that at no time has one experienced the delicious shock caused by a sudden surprise of beauty.

Now there was on the tops of these Mountains, Shepherds feeding their flocks, and they stood by the high-way side. The Pilgrims therefore went to them, and leaning upon their staves, (as is common with weary Pilgrims, when they stand to talk with any by the way, ) they asked. Whose delectable Mountains are these?... When the Shepherds perceived that they were way-faring men, they also put questions to them, as, Whence came you? and, How got you into the way? and, By what means have you so persevered therein?... Then said the Shepherds one to another, Let us here shew to the Pilgrims the Gates of the C lestial City, if they have skill to look through our Perspective Glass.... Then they essayed to look, but... they could not look steadily through the Glass; yet they thought they saw something like the Gate.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Only Nancy: A Tale of the Kentucky Mountains The mouth of the Gorge through which the stream rushed into View and the several falls that were in its way toward the pool caught the eye of the artist and he proceeded at once to sketch. He thought, as he worked, that Nature was at her best in this wild place. NO human hand had ever touched it with the art or skill of man. It could not be improved. It was a case Of Beauty unadorned, adorned the most. The artist, delighted beyond measure with his discovery, concluded that Nature loved the beautiful and had somewhat selfishly reserved this retired place for her own delectation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Tennessee Mountains Yet her life had not always been thus desti tute of pleasure and purpose. There was a time and she remembered it well - when she found no analogies in Lost Creek. Then she saw only a stream gayly dandering down the valley, with the laurel and the pawpaw close in to its banks, and the kildeer's nest in the sand. Before it takes that desperate plunge into the unexplored caverns Of the mountain, Lost Creek lends its aid to divers jobs of very prosaic work. Further up the valley it turns a mill-wheel, and on Mondays it is wont to assist in the family wash. A fire of pine-knots, kindled beside it on a flat rock, would twine long, lucent white flames about the huge kettle in which the clothes were boiled. Through the steam the distant landscape flickered, ethereal, dream-like. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
