Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You might believe yourself, at sight of this Muscovite architecture, in some chimerical Asiatic city-you could easily take the cathedrals for mosques, the belfries for minarets; but the rational fa ade of the new palace would bring you back to the very heart of the West and of civilization; a sad thing for a romantic savage like myself! -from "The Marvelous Treasures of the New Palace," by Theophile Gautier From the era from a trip to the Continent was rarer but more deeply appreciated comes an enchanting literary travelogue assembled from the hearts and minds of some of the greatest wordsmiths in the English language. A Grand Tour in 10 volumes, these delightful volumes, first published in 1914, gather little-seen essays from famous erudite explorers in compact collections that will inspire those who've never been abroad to make the journey, and move those who have to pack their bags again. Volume X explores Russia, Scandinavia, and the Southeast, viewed through the eyes and prose of a panoply of extraordinary writers: Mary Wollstonecraft travels the coast from Sweden to Norway, Edward Gibbon visits St. Sophia, Bayard Taylor offers a panoramic view of Moscow, and much more by such notable voices as Augustus J.C. Hare, Sir Henry Norman, Robert Bremner, and others. (This volume also features a complete index to the 10-book set.) Beautifully illustrated with charming photographs, it is a work to treasure... and to take along on your next trip.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seeing Europe With Famous Authors, Vol. 6 In Hungary there are great quantities of unearthed riches, and not only in the form of gold. These riches are the mineral waters that abound in the country and have been the natural medicine of the people for many years. Water in itself was always worshiped by the Hungarians in the earliest ages, and they have found out through experience for which ailment the different waters may be used. There are numbers of small watering-places in the most primitive state, which are visited by the peasants from far and wide, more especially those that are good for rheumatism. Like all people that work much in the open, the Hungarian in old age feels the aching of his limbs. The Carpathians are full of such baths, some of them quite primitive; others are used more as summer resorts, where the well-to-do town people build their villas; others, again, like Tatra Fured, Tatra Lomniez, Csorba, and many others, have every accommodation and are visited by people from all over Europe.
