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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seeing Europe With Famous Authors, Vol. 2 of 10 The church itself is an interesting but not remarkable edifice, Old, small, and solidly built in a style common enough in England. Noth ing, however, could be more in keeping with the associations of the scene. The very humility Of the edifice has a property of its own, for anything more magnificent would jar upon the feelings, as the monument in the Park does most decidedly. It was Gray's wish that he might be buried here, near the mother whom he loved so well; otherwise he could hardly have escaped the posthumous misfortune of a tomb in Westminster Abbey or St. Paul's. In such case the world would have missed one of the most charming of associations, and the great poem the most poetical of its features. For surely it was fit that he who sang so touchingly of the dead here Sleeping, should find near them his last resting-place; that when the pleasant toil in libraries was over, the last folio closed by those industrious hands, the last man.

Book excerpt: "A two-fold purpose has been kept in view during the preparation of these volumes-on the one-hand, to refresh the memories and, if possible, to enlarge the knowledge, of readers who have already visited Europe; on the other, to provide something in the nature of a substitute for those who have not yet done so, and to inspire them with new and stronger ambitions to make the trip."
