Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travel Stories The Grand Canon of the Colorado River, in northern Arizona, is indeed a world wonder, and there is no other chasm in the world worthy to be compared with it. It is more than two hundred miles long, including Marble Cahon, is from ten to thirteen miles wide in the granite gorge section, and is more than a mile deep. It was created ages and ages ago by the erosive action of water, wind, and frost, and it is still being deepened and widened imperceptibly year by year.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wonder Stories of Travel The Turkish battery ashore thundered a royal salute to General Grant as the Vandalia which bore him from port to port in the Mediterranean steamed up to her anchorage in the harbor of Smyrna. Thirty great iron-clads followed in quick succession; men-of-war crowded the harbor. They had been ordered into Turkish waters on account of the war then raging between Turkey and Russia. From ship and shore thousands of spectators watched the Vandalia's approach with eager interest, and from the foremast of every vessel and the flagstaffs of the city the American flag waved the General a glad and hearty welcome.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of Old Travel In the thirteenth century the wonderfully rapid aggregation of innumerable small Tartar tribes into one vast swarm, guided in its ceaseless work of destruction by a succession of absolute and pitiless hands, those of Ghengis Khan and his generals, and grandsons, the sons of Tuli; filled all Europe with alarm. That alarm grew into terror after the fall of Cracow in 1240, when Baatu Khan, with half a million of flat-faced and short-legged warriors, routed the chivalry of Europe under the Count Palatine of Saxony, and desolated Eastern Europe in all directions. The wildest notions prevailed about the savageness of these conquering Tartars. Yui of Narbonne, in his letter to the Bishop of Bordeaux, quoted by Matthew Paris, narrates as having occurred under his own eye at the siege of Neustadt, in Carniola, horrors far too hideous for repetition here.

Download or read book My Kind of Place written by Susan Orlean and published by Random House. This book was released on 2004-09-28 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Yorker writer and author of The Library Book takes readers on a series of remarkable journeys in this uniquely witty, sophisticated, and far-flung travel book. In this irresistible collection of adventures far and near, Orlean conducts a tour of the world via its subcultures, from the heart of the African music scene in Paris to the World Taxidermy Championships in Springfield, Illinois—and even into her own apartment, where she imagines a very famous houseguest taking advantage of her hospitality. With Orlean as guide, lucky readers partake in all manner of armchair activity. They will climb Mt. Fuji and experience a hike most intrepid Japanese have never attempted; play ball with Cuba’s Little Leaguers, promising young athletes born in a country where baseball and politics are inextricably intertwined; trawl Icelandic waters with Keiko, everyone’s favorite whale as he tries to make it on his own; stay awhile in Midland, Texas, hometown of George W. Bush, a place where oil time is the only time that matters; explore the halls of a New York City school so troubled it’s known as “Horror High”; and stalk caged tigers in Jackson, New Jersey, a suburban town with one of the highest concentrations of tigers per square mile anywhere in the world. Vivid, humorous, unconventional, and incomparably entertaining, Susan Orlean’s writings for The New Yorker have delighted readers for over a decade. My Kind of Place is an inimitable treat by one of America’s premier literary journalists.

Download or read book The Best Time Travel Stories of the 20th Century written by Harry Turtledove and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2004-12-28 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LEAP INTO THE FUTURE, AND SHOOT BACK TO THE PAST H. G. Wells’s seminal short story “The Time Machine,” published in 1895, provided the springboard for modern science fiction’s time travel explosion. Responding to their own fascination with the subject, the greatest visionary writers of the twentieth century penned some of their finest stories. Here are eighteen of the most exciting tales ever told, including “Time’s Arrow” In Arthur C. Clarke’s classic, two brilliant physicists finally crack the mystery of time travel—with appalling consequences. “Death Ship” Richard Matheson, author of Somewhere in Time, unveils a chilling scenario concerning three astronauts who stumble upon the conundrum of past and future. “Yesterday was Monday” If all the world’s a stage, Theodore Sturgeon’s compelling tale follows the odyssey of an ordinary joe who winds up backstage. “Rainbird” R.A. Lafferty reflects on what might have been in this brainteaser about an inventor so brilliant that he invents himself right out of existence. “Timetipping” What if everyone time-traveled except you? Jack Dann provides some surprising answers in this literary gem. . . . as well as stories by Poul Anderson • L. Sprague de Camp • Joe Haldeman • John Kessel • Nancy Kress • Henry Kuttner • Ursula K. Le Guin • Larry Niven • Charles Sheffield • Robert Silverberg • Connie Willis By turns frightening, puzzling, and fantastic, these stories engage us in situations that may one day break free of the bonds of fantasy . . . to enter the realm of the future: our future. Note: "A Sound of Thunder" by Ray Bradbury and "I'm Scared" by Jack Finney are not included in this edition.
Download or read book Tales of Travel Classic Reprint written by George Nathaniel Curson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of Travel But in the course Of these journeys I visited many other countries and places, twice going round the world, and exploring unfrequented spots, not in Asia only, but in Europe, Africa, and America. In certain of these cases I studied rather deeply some subjects of more than ephem eral interest, I came across some remarkable persons, and I made notes Of many curious scenes. I have found it a 'diversion, in the turmoil of public life, to put these notes into final shape, and have even thought that they might prove Of interest to a larger audience. After I had spent some years in travelling and in writing about my travels, it gave me greater pleasure to be awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Geographical Society for exploration and research than it did to become a Minister of the Crown; and every moment that I could snatch from politics - before they finally captured and tied me down - I devoted to the pursuit Of my Old love.
