Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old World Through New World Eyes: The Development of the Orient and Central Europe and Great Britain To learn the Mississippi thoroughly, take it at its source in Itaska Lake, float down its stream examining its shores and all th co fluents that make up the volume of the current that finally empties into the gulf at the Balize: So, to understand the current of history, commence at Egypt by he Nile, wh re was the earliest civilization, travel through Syria and Turkey, thence to Greece and to Italy; so down through the states of Europe to Great Britain, where it widens into a mighty and final development: this is to study the course of civilization from the shores of the Mediterranean in the Orient, where our earliest development took place, coming down topographically and chronologically to the most modern states. This is to travel with a plan, and enables the reading and studious traveler to observe systematically and philosophically, so as to derive the highest good from the pleasures and labors of seeing the Occident and Europe. This was the course of the author, who now submits the results to your kind and tolerant attention. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book From Occident to Orient and Around the World written by Charlton B. Perkins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Occident to Orient and Around the World "The man who gleans his all from books May gain a knowledge great; But the man who learns by travel, Is the one who is up-to-date." Travel is the key that unlocks Nature's heart and reveals her secrets; and, when accompanied by a keen and close observation, becomes one of man's highest accomplishments. It is a commendable and peculiar characteristic of human nature, as betrayed in the Western mind: the desire to gain all possible knowledge of the present-day civilization of the world, as well as of the past of the people - their vices, their virtues, their customs and their religions, their victories and their defeats. Though millions have crossed the Atlantic to visit the scenes of the Old World, to the average traveler (except in very recent years) the mysteries of Asia have remained untraversed and are practically unknown. This lurid Orient, with its mystic lands, has stood sponsor, during centuries of slow advancement, for the most remarkable epochs in the annals of the world's history; it has been the mother of invention, of highly accomplished arts, education, and the cradle of the great religions of Mohammed and Buddha. Every object your eyes rest upon within the confines of this vast continent is shrouded in mystery and associated with events of the most profound interest. Not all the interesting sights are to be found in the land of our nativity. Each country and each race has its own peculiar and dominant characteristics. The histories, i. e., the lives of nations, are very similar to those of men, except in point of duration.Nations rise,generally, by some social upheaval,live their allotted time,and are no more,save as in resurrection by the pen of the historian. The exact facts concerning ancient Syria are practically myths to-day. Egypt has for centuries remained an unopened and unexplored secret. Greece and Rome have yielded to modern research a little knowledge of past glories, but not to the extent the student might desire. Our knowledge of the ancient history of the Western Hemisphere is deplorably incomplete, and a few centuries carry us back to the legendary myths of Europe concerning it. The conditions existing in the New World prior to its discovery in 1492 are, in a large measure, matters of conjecture. If this applies to the Western World, what a vista for thought and speculation does the Eastern Hemisphere present- shrouded deep in the mysteries of untold centuries of profound isolation. And of China this is particularly true: it is without doubt the most absorbingly interesting country in the world to-day, holding in the hollow of its hand undreamed-of possibilities of greatness to come. This book claims no literary merit; it is placed before the prospective traveler to the Orient and around the world, intended to supply him all the accurate information necessary for a thorough visit to the various places of note; special mention being made of the interesting features of Asia, and how best to see it traveling by way of any of the several steamship lines maintaining a regular service to that part of the world, both from the Pacific and Atlantic seaboards.

Book excerpt: A groundbreaking critique of the West's historical, cultural, and political perceptions of the East that is—three decades after its first publication—one of the most important books written about our divided world. "Intellectual history on a high order ... and very exciting." —The New York Times In this wide-ranging, intellectually vigorous study, Said traces the origins of "orientalism" to the centuries-long period during which Europe dominated the Middle and Near East and, from its position of power, defined "the orient" simply as "other than" the occident. This entrenched view continues to dominate western ideas and, because it does not allow the East to represent itself, prevents true understanding.
