Download or read book Rambles About the Riviera Classic Reprint written by Frances Marion Gostling and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rambles About the Riviera The book has no sequence. It consists of mere detached fragments; glimpses, caught in passing, of old walled towns and feudal fortresses, of gorges, and rivers, and ancient churches, of happy peasants, and forgotten saints, in fact of anything which struck my fancy, and which I thought might strike that of my readers. There are many places I should have liked to have spoken about, well-known places, which would have been interesting to visit, but it is impossible to do more, in one short volume, than take a hasty glance at this wonderful southern land. So, with this word of introduction, I shall open the pages of the old notebook I always keep in my pocket, and try to give you some idea of the weeks we spent the last two autumns rambling about the Riviera.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Riviera: Pen and Pencil Sketches From Cannes to Genoa HE rapid course of events since the following pages were written has put some remarks in them out of date. Who would have imagined, as late as Midsummer of this year, that the route to Marseilles and Nice, through Paris, would before Michaelmas have become a thing of the past? Who could have expected that the misrule of ages on the banks of the Tiber would have come to an end, with its Imperial upholder, -melted away as with a breath, unregretted and almost unenquired for? But Nature remains unchanged, and it is mainly Nature with which I am concerned. The fair coast which is the subject of these sketches is as yet untouched by war; but it likewise has its aspirations, for which it would even pay the price of conflict. Only by an Imperial juggle have Nice and Mentone become vassals of France. The whole face of the land, the whole breath of the climate, the whole spirit of the people, are Italian; and by any French government which sets about redressing the wrongs of the Empire, to Italy they must be restored.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Naples Riviera Museum, this observing the daily life of the populace, and bargain-hunting in the Strada de' Tribunali, are agreeable enough for a while, but of necessity there comes a time when the mind grows weary of yelling people and of jostling crowds, of stuffy churches and of the chilly halls of the Museum, of steep dirty streets and of glaring boulevards, so that we begin to sigh for fresh air and a change of scene. Nor is there any means of escape within the precincts of the city itself from the eternal cracking of whips, from the insulting compliments (or complimentary insults) of the incorrigible cabmen, from the continuous babel Of unmusical voices, and from the reiterated strains of Santa Lucia or. Margari howled from raucous throats or strummed from rickety street-organs. Oh for peace, and rest, and a whiff of pure country air! For there are no walks in or around the City of the Siren, where there is nowhere to stroll save the narrow strip of the much-vaunted Villa (which is either damp or dusty according to weather) or the fatiguing ascent amidst walled gardens and newly built houses to the heights of the Vomero, which are covered with a raw suburb. Moreover our pristine delight in the place is beginning to flag, as we gradually realise that the city, like the majority of great modern towns, is being practically rebuilt to the annihilation of its Old-world features, which used to give to Naples its peculiar charm and its marked individuality amongst large sea-ports. Long ago has disappeared Santa Brigida, that picturesque high coloured slum, on whose site stands the garish domed gallery of which the Neapolitans are so proud; gone in these latter days is classic Santa Lucia with its.

This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Flowers of the French Riviera My endeavour will be to give a faithful account of what is being done in the present year as it must be borne in mind that the production of, and the trade in, cut flowers are undergoing frequent and material changes from one season to the next. The mere difference in latitude cannot account sufficiently for so large a discrepancy as exists between the coast of Kent or Sussex and that of Provence. The climatic conditions peculiar to the Riviera must be traced in a -1arge proportion to the effect of the sheltering hills and mountains which keep off the north winds, turn away the currents of cold air, and radiate the heat they receive from the sun on warm clear days.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cornish Riviera "By Tre, Pol, and Pen, You may know the Cornishmen." The majority of our English counties possess some special feature, some particular attraction which acts as a lodestone for tourists, in the form of a stately cathedral, striking physical beauty, or a wealth of historical or literary associations. There are large districts of rural England that would have remained practically unknown to the multitude had it not been for their possession of some superb architectural creation, or for the fame bestowed upon the district by the makers of literature and art. The Bard of Avon was perhaps the unconscious pioneer in the way of providing his native town and county with a valuable asset of this kind.

Download or read book Rambles on the Riviera Classic Reprint written by Eduard Strasburger and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rambles on the Riviera It is not the purpose of this second preface to make known the frame of mind in which I wrote, but rather to explain the alteration and expansion of the present volume. The reader will be immediately struck by the numerous botanical illustrations which have been introduced into the text. These, it is hoped, will be found a great assistance to the com prehension of the plants which are described. Many of those interested in these Rambles on the Riviera had expressed a wish that the volume should be thus illustrated. It is a matter of congratulation to me that Miss Louise Reusch has devoted herself to this task. She has travelled on the Riviera, and there, on the spot, she has painted from Nature the pictures for this book. The beauty of these paintings proves her to be an accomplished artist; they are not only artistic, but are absolutely true to Nature. To her brush are also due the appropriate vignettes which mark the main divisions of the book. It reflects much credit on the publisher that he was willing to go to such great expense for an undertaking with which he sym pathised; he has indeed placed me under a great obligation.

The geological formation of this part of the coast, which is almost unique in its character, and the dialect, past and present, of the in habitants, are both very thoroughly treated; and these, with chapters on Italian Law, and The Artistic Features of Bordighera and its Neighbourhood, give a variety and completeness to the work which place it in a category of its own, and fully explain my wish to make it more gene rally known through the medium of an English edition.

This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contributions to the Flora of Mentone, and to a Winter Flora of the Riviera, Including the Coast From Marseilles to Genoa The want of an illustrated Continental flora has long been felt by tourists, invalids, and others, who fail, either from want of power or inclination, to determine their plants by the present available means. Though unable at present to commence such an undertaking, I h0pe that the present work may afford some facilities which may induce not a few invalids and others to turn their attention to the study of the wild flowers of the district, and thus find a pleasant subject for recreation. When considering the thousands of idle hands which every winter pull myriads of flowers to pieces south of the Alps, and the thousand restless energies all craving for employment in weary satiety of absolute rest, it becomes quite a marvel that these hundred handed colonies of English should so rarely be set to work at drawing for publication some few of the wonderful objects of Natural History by which they are everywhere surrounded. In the water, the earth, the air, unknown wonders await diligent search and investigation, while the host of things half-known teems with opportunity for scientific inquiry. Well-directed research in any definite direction must afford happy employment for the invalid, and tend towards the advance.
