Book excerpt: Excerpt from Something of Italy The present volume is only what it purports to be, Something, not much, about italy - just those glances at the country, its people, and usages which were casually obtained during a three months' excursion in the spring and summer of 1862, along with such observations as are suggested by the hopeful progress of those portions of the Italian peninsula lately nationalised, as well as by the dismal backwardness of those other parts - Rome and Venetia - still under an antiquated and relentless thraldom. The illustrations are chie y from photographs, in the prepara tion of which the Italians sustain their reputation for artistic excellence. It has to be added, that the substance of the volume appeared as detached papers in the Journal with which the.

This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cart of Many Colors a Story of Italy Signs over the little shops would be written in Italian words; and all the babies would have dark Italian eyes and Shy Italian smiles; and all the people in the street would talk and laugh and sing in Italian; and out of all the doorways would come the smell of Italian cooking. And sometimes, at night, the whole street would be decked and garlanded with little electric lights, red and white and green, to celebrate the birth day Of the Italian saint who used to be the guardian spirit of the old Village in Italy, and who of course had emigrated with his villagers when they came to the new world. The Italians are not the only people who get together in groups and colonies in Our Amer ican cities. The Poles, the Russian Jews, the Germans, the Chinese, all the lonely new immi grants do it. They feel strange and far away from their own lands in this new country, and they want to live next door to some one who understands their language and their Old life. But thoughtful Americans are beginning to see that these little patches of Poland, Germany, Italy, are almost as far from America as if they were still on the other Side of the ocean. Daily messages, by cable and wireless, flash between Italy and America, but between Little Italy and Riverside Drive, in New York, there is no wire less; Mars and the Earth are not more far apart in some ways. It is to help Old Ameri cans and new Americans to get together and understand each other that little books like this one are written, - old Americans whose grand parents were born here, and new Americans whose children will be born here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Cities of Italy You cannot know what tender memories you have awakened in my mind! The reading of your book has been for me one of the charms of Paris. But it is not necessary to have been raised in Tuscany to enjoy your work. I finished the read ing at Turin. The interest increases as one proceeds. These impressions of a journey, appar ently detached thoughts upon a wide range of subjects, form a grand and unique picture. In it you have mingled historical associations, im pressions of art, descriptions of the country, with Social and philosophical theories. As a historian, I should be tempted to seek a quarrel with you on several points, and I must make some reserves upon certain rather too bold theories. But as an Italian, and as a man of letters, I cannot but congratulate myself and you upon the consummate ability with which you have given form and life to the diverse elements of which your material is composed, art and history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Impressions of Italy Reader, do you still cherish, in despite of unhappy political misunderstandings, a passionate admiration for Italy, and especially for the secluded spots which have longest resisted the leveling influences of cosmopolitanism? Once you have crossed the Alps do your thoughts wander, as you turn over the leaves of the Guide, to those little towns which contain two or three pictures only, but divine pictures, or pictures whose legendary fame evokes some great historical memory? Do you enjoy narratives of travel without requiring anything more from them than that they shall have been written on the spot, and that, if they have been written by a simple tourist, he shall at least be a tourist who has been the first to take pleasure in his tour? Are you content with a description merely literary - a style now out of fashion - of a picture or a statue without exacting documentary proof of its authenticity?

Download or read book Early Italian Love Stories Classic Reprint written by Una Taylor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Italian Love Stories But notwithstanding all that is lost in the re-telling, in a different language and at a different day, something remains, independent of both the old life and the old language, which the past has and can bestow even upon the unlettered readers of an alien country and an alien time, and that is the stories themselves, apart from their treatment and expression. Even retold their charm cannot, we are fain to hope, wholly evaporate. It is at all events possible to convey in some measure, by a simple recital of their contents, some idea of the positive genius for the picturesque in incident, episode, and surroundings, characteristic of the school to which they belong; of the blind intensity with which a single passion is painted, dominating and determining the living and dying of men and women of bygone generations; of the simple and undeviating directness of aim, good or evil, upon which the plots are constructed with such excellence of art that they seem a mere accident of instinct.

Download or read book Edens of Italy Classic Reprint written by Joseph Cross and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Edens of Italy N our day it has come to pass, that the tour of Europe is quite I commonly regarded as the essential complement of a good education. Perhaps no popular notion is better founded in fact; since, of all means merely human, foreign travel is the most effectual for expanding the mind and improving the heart. But to the classical scholar and the student of history what other transatlantic country is so full of interest and instruction as Italy Among the many, however, who visit that land of art and beauty, how few can say they have really seen it! Hare says, not more than one in five hundred. A month they spend in Rome, a fortnight in Naples, a week in Florence, three days in Venice, and two perchance in Milan. To a score of other cities, as rich in classic interest and heroic fame as in the productions of the pencil and the chisel, if they visit them at all, they can give but a few hurried hours, and these for the most part very poorly employed. Travelling per le paste with fresh relays of horses every two leagues, or dozing on velvet cushions while charioted along thirty miles an hour by stradaferrata, as if their aim were to get over as much ground and acquire as little knowl edge as possible, they make the tour of Italy with hardly a single valuable acquisition to their small stock of intelligence, and actually profit less from their trip than he who carries'an artist outside of his coach to sketch whatever of interest he may pass while sleeping within.
