Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seeing Europe With Famous Authors, Vol. 7 of 10 Tourist in great numbers now go to Italy, Sicily and Greece Tourists in great numbers now go to Italy by steamers that have Naples and Genoa for ports. By the fast Channel steamers, however, touching at Cherbourg and Havre one may make the trip in less time (rail journey included). In going to Rome, four days could thus be saved; but the expense will be greater - perhaps forty percent. ... "and now, fair Italy! Thou art the garden of the world, the home Of all Art yields, and Nature can decree; Even in thy desert, what is like to thee? Thy very weeds are beautiful, thy waste More rich than other climes' fertility; Thy wreck a glory, and thy ruin graced With an Immaculate charm which can not be defaced." At least four civilizations, and probably five, have dominated Italy; together they cover a period of more than 3,000 years - Pelasgian, Etruscan, Greek, Roman, Italian. Of these the Pelasgian is, in the main, legendary. Next came the Etruscan. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seeing Europe With Famous Authors, Vol. 2 of 10 It was a comfort as I came out of the Albert Memorial Chapel, and rejoined nature upon the Terrace, to mutter to myself those fine lines which not a hundred years ago everybody knew by heart: "The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power, And all that beauty, all that wealth ere gave. Await alike th' inevitable hour. The paths of glory lead but to the grave," - a verse which I found it not bad to remember as in the Chapel Royal I gazed upon the helmets, and banners, and insignia of many a defunct Knight of the Garter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cracow, old, tired and dispirited, speaks and thinks only of the ruinous past. When you drive into Cracow from the station for the first time, you are breathless, smiling, and tearful all at once; in the great Ring-platz-a mass of old buildings-Cracow seems to hold out her arms to you-those long sides that open from the corner where the cab drives in. -from "Cracow," by M nie Muriel Dowie 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 VI continues the series' exploration of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Switzerland, viewed through the eyes and prose of a panoply of extraordinary writers: Percy Bysshe Shelley witnesses an Alpine avalanche, Harriet Beecher Stowe wanders the Castle of Chillon, John Tyndall climbs Mont Blanc, and much more by such notable voices as William Cullen Bryant, Frederick Harrison, Victor Tissot, and others. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seeing Europe With Famous Authors, Vol. 5 The diligence brought me here from Caen in about two hours and a half. The country, during the whole route, is open, well cultivated, occasionally gently undulating, but generally denuded of trees. Many pretty little churches, with delicate spires, peeped out to the right and left during the journey; but the first view of the cathedral of Bayeux put all the others out of my recollection. There is, in fact, no proper approach to this interesting edifice. The western end is suffocated with houses. Here stands the post-office; and with the most unsuspecting frankness, on the part of the owner, I had permission to examine, with my own hands, within doors, every letter - under the expectation that there were some for myself. Nor was I disappointed. But you must come with me to the cathedral, and of course we must enter together at the western front.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seeing Europe With Famous Authors The great majority of the streets are as narrow as any thoroughfare can well be, where people (even Italian people) are supposed to live and walk about; being mere lanes, with here and there a kind of well, or breathing place. The houses are immensely high, painted in all sorts of colors, and are in every stage and state of damage, dirt, and lack of repair. They are commonly let OH in floors, or flats, like the houses in the old town of Edinburgh or many houses in Paris.
