Download or read book Travel and Imagination written by Garth Lean and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-24 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The imagination has long been associated with travel and tourism; from the seventeenth century when the showman and his peepshow box would take the village crowd to places, cities and lands through the power of stories, to today when we rely on a different range of boxes to whisk us away on our imaginative travels: the television, the cinema and the computer. Even simply the notion of travel, it would seem, gives us license to daydream. The imagination thus becomes a key concept that blurs the boundaries between our everyday lives and the idea of travel. Yet, despite what appears to be a close and comfortable link, there is an absence of scholarly material looking at travel and the imagination. Bringing together geographers, sociologists, cultural researchers, philosophers, anthropologists, visual researchers, archaeologists, heritage researchers, literary scholars and creative writers, this edited collection explores the socio-cultural phenomenon of imagination and travel. The volume reflects upon imagination in the context of many forms of physical and non-physical travel, inviting scholars to explore this fascinating, yet complex, area of inquiry in all of its wonderful colour, slipperiness, mystery and intrigue. The book intends to provide a catalyst for thinking, discussion, research and writing, with the vision of generating a cannon of scholarship on travel and the imagination that is currently absent from the literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Girl Who Came Calling, is about Pilar Riviera, the beautiful bad-ass heroine with a blue blood pedigree (Ernest Hemingway's illegitimate daughter), tracing her Jewish ancestry all the way back to David who slayed Goliath. Killing is in her DNA. And kill she does, from JFK in Dallas, to Dorothy Kilgallen in New York, to Lucky Luciano in Naples, to Che Guevara in Bolivia. And along the way, she has an affair with Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley; seduces Jackie Kennedy; helps Fidel Castro plant hidden nuclear bombs in the US; assassinates Lucky Luciano, stealing his Rafael portrait that went missing during WW2; and then she fakes Jack Ruby's death, sneaks him out of Dallas and hides him away on a remote Cuban island. When Pilar isn’t bumping off the rich and famous, she’s hopping in bed with them. Smart, witty and beautiful, she can either seduce or kill you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moscow, a name that resonates through the annals of history with an air of mystery and grandeur. As the beating heart of Russia, this city holds within its bounds a tapestry woven with tales of triumphs, tragedies, and transitions. Before delving into the depths of its essence, let us embark on a journey through its enigmatic preface. Nestled along the banks of the Moskva River, Moscow stands as a testament to the resilience and fortitude of the Russian spirit. Its skyline, adorned with majestic onion domes and towering skyscrapers, paints a portrait of a city in constant dialogue with its past and future. But what truly sets Moscow apart is its unique blend of contrasts. Here, the echoes of imperial grandeur harmonize with the rhythms of contemporary life. From the opulent halls of the Kremlin to the bustling streets of Arbat, every corner whispers secrets of bygone eras while embracing the pulse of modernity. Yet, beneath its surface of splendor lies a city steeped in complexity. Moscow is not merely a physical space but a living, breathing entity shaped by the dreams and aspirations of its inhabitants. It is a melting pot of cultures, ideologies, and identities, where East meets West in a dance of diversity. To understand Moscow is to embrace its contradictions—to navigate the juxtaposition of tradition and innovation, of chaos and order. It is a city of paradoxes, where time seems to both stand still and hurtle forward with dizzying speed. So, as we embark on this exploration of Moscow, let us approach with humility and curiosity, ready to unravel the layers of its enigmatic soul. For in doing so, we may discover not only the essence of a city but also the essence of ourselves.
