Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ten Days in Switzerland After lunch we took the train to Lucerne, abandoning the route by Righi, as the weather was too thick for ascend ing the mountains or enjoying the sail on the lakes. We had to forego a look at that island on to which William Tell sprang, and so escaped the Austrian tyrant, Gesler. Perhaps we thus avoided spoiling a boyish imagination. But as so many boyish dreams must inevitably vanish into disappointment as years roll away, may be it was as well to have this one undisturbed. We were sorry to miss the ascent of Righi and the magnificent panorama from its summit, and also the famous views to be had in gliding over the'waters of Lakes Zurich and Lucerne; b1rt were so unfortunate as to have such bad weather as would have made the journey wholly useless.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Charm of Switzerland: An Anthology This is the day of anthologies, and amid the many that have been published it is perhaps strange that one has not yet been issued devoted entirely to Switzerland, the playground and fairyland of Europe. It has long been the desire of the com piler to collect, first for his own pleasure and then for the pleasure of some of his friends, 'a series of passages in prose or verse describing the charm of the mountains, lakes, and history of the Swiss fatherland. Probably no anthology ever satisfied any one except its compiler, if, indeed, he is often content with his achievement; and an apology is usually required from any one who makes such a collection for sins of omis'sion no less than for the inclusion of some less worthy work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Romance and Teutonic Switzerland, Vol. 1 of 2 I have put into these two volumes what ever seemed true, and therefore worthiest, after an acquaintance with Switzerland of many years, extending from my childhood to the present time, having but recently finished the special studies undertaken in connection with my history, The Rise of the Swiss Republic. As it is intended to keep these chapters at all times up to date, I beg those who read them to forward me any suggestions, or corrections, they may deem expedient; and to do this, whether in the character of sojourners in the land, or leisurely saunter ars, or merely hurrying tourists.

Download or read book Sketches of Switzerland Vol 1 of 2 Classic Reprint written by James Fenimore Cooper and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of Switzerland, Vol. 1 of 2 Tm: fragments of travels that are here laid before the reader are parts of a much more extensive work, that it was, originally, the intention of the writer to publish. This intention (for reasons on which it is unnecessary to dwell) has been, in a great measure, abandoned; though motives, that may possibly become apparent in the course of the work, more especially in its Second Part, have induced him to make the selection which is now printed. The narrative form is the best for a book of travels, for, besides possessing the most interest, it enables the reader to understand the circumstances under which one, who appears as a witness, has obtained his facts. This form, therefore, has been adhered to here; though it is hoped that the personal details have nowhere been permitted to trespass on the more mate rial objects of the work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spell of Switzerland The present book is cast in the guise of fic tion. The vague and flitting forms of my niece and her three children are wholly figments of the imagination. No such person as Will Allerton enters my doorway. The Moto, which does such magical service in transporting Emile and his admirers from place to place is as unreal as Solomon's Carpet. After Lord Sheffield and his family had started back from a visit to Gibbon at Lau Sanne, his daughter, Maria T. Holroyd, wrote the historian: I do not know what strange charm there is in Switzerland that makes every body desirous of returning there. It is the aim of this book to express that charm. It lies not merely in heaped-up masses of moun tains, in wonderfully beautiful lakes, in mys terious glaciers, in rainbow-adorned waterfalls; it is largely due to the association with human beings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cottages of the Alps: Or Life and Manners in Switzerland Her father not only insisted that she should be tho roughly disciplined in mind, but in body; and among vari ous other exercises, she was taught to swim, and became so expert that in late years she saved the life of a lady in her family, the instructress of her sister, who fell into the water when no one was near to save her but herself. Music and painting were not neglected, nor an acquaintance with general literature. She speaks and writes Russian, German, Italian, French, and English; and at an exhibition of fine arts in St. Petersburg, obtained the prize for two of her paintings. Her invocations of the Muses have not been less successful; and that she is the only person who has ascended the Manda, one of the highest mountains in Switzerland, proves that these graces are not incompatible with energy and heroism.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Unknown Switzerland: Reminiscences of Travel We have already more than enough of descriptions of the tourists' Switzerland, where foreigners are shown illuminated waterfalls, glaciers, the access to which is guarded by turn stiles, even sunrises and sunsets, all so exactly reduced to rule, more or less exhibited according to the price paid, that all might be the work of machinery. That is the Switzerland of trade and money-making, of Speculation and bargaining; the Switzerland that deals in long hotel-bills and busy clerks and dainty salads; that is set in brooches and painted on cigar-cases, and made musical in clocks and in the little carved boxes of the Oberland.

The whole thing is very realistically done. Horrible cannibal, who are you - some hated baron of the Ober land? No, the features are Jewish, and the group evidently relates to the legends circulated in the sixteenth century about child sacrifices by the Hebrews.
