Download or read book Henry James Travel Writings Vol 2 LOA 65 written by Henry James and published by Library of America. This book was released on 1993-09-01 with total page 872 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry James’s travel writings are at once literary masterpieces, unsurpassed guidebooks and penetrating reflections on the international themes familiar from his fiction. This volume, the second of two, begins with the classic A Little Tour in France (1900), illustrated with Joseph Pennell’s exquisite drawings from the original edition. James begins his tour of the French countryside one rainy morning in mid-September of 1882, when he sets off for the city of Tours as a means of exploring the proposition that “though France might be Paris, Paris was by no means France.” From Tours, Balzac’s birthplace, James travels to the great chateaux of the Loire Valley, visiting Chambord, Amboise, Chenonceaux, and Blois, where, as you cross the threshold, “you step straight into the sunshine and storm of the French Renaissance.” Dense with literary associations and historical echoes, James’s prose brings castles and cathedrals and old walled towns to life. In his glancingly precise visual evocations of terrain and cityscape, he realizes his ambition “to sketch without a palette or brushes.” Henry James loved Italy, “a beautiful disheveled nymph” to England’s “good married matron.” The incisive and witty essays in Italian Hours (1909) describe memorably happy sojourns in Venice, Rome, and Florence, and excursions to Siena, Assisi, Perugia, Capri, Ravenna, and other Italian cities. “Nowhere do art and life seem so interfused” as in Venice, wrote James in celebration of the splendor of Venetian light and color, air, and history. He records his radiant impressions of Roman churches and aqueducts, museums and fountains, and rambles through the gardens of the Villa Borghese in spring, when Rome seems lighted “with an irresistible smile.” All these essays are filled with James’s intense pleasure in Italian places and people. This volume concludes with sixteen essays on such varied places as Switzerland, Holland, Rheims, and the Pyrénées, including a memorable account of the American volunteer ambulance corps in Europe during World War One.

We trotted in that direction, and the first thing that struck us was the fine figure of Phil, in a crowd of town's-people which sur rounded a squad of four or five Cossacks, who had rode into the market, got drunk in a cabaret, and were quarrelling together and belabourin'g each other unmercifully, with the short thick whips attached to their bridles. These savages did not lay-on each other more ferociously than did some cowardly scoundrels of the town lay on them, when two or three of them were tumbled from their ponies and lay sprawling on the ground. All the enmity of the vanquished broke out, and the Cossacks would have been roughly handled indeed, had not a gallant ally been ready, in the person of the English captain. Who instantly inter fer-cd, wielding his good arm powerfully, and making most un ceremonious applications with the toe of his boot to the rear ward demonstrations of the flying enemy, some dozens of whom ran before him in electrical dismay.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Retrospect of Western Travel, Vol. 2 of 3 It was a sweet day of early spring. The patches of snow that were left under the fences and on the rising grounds were melting fast. The road was one continued slough, up to the very portico of the house. 'the dwelling stands on a gentle eminence, and is neat and even handsome in its exterior, with a flight of steps leading up to the portico. A lawn and wood, which must 'be pleasant in summer, stretch behind; and from the front there is a noble object on the horizon, - the mountain-chain which traverses the State, and makes it eminent for its scenery. The shifting lights upon these blue moun tains were a delightful refreshment to the eye after so many weeks of city life as we had passed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Pilgrims, Vol. 2 of 2: Showing the Improvements in Travel, and the Newest Methods of Reaching the Celestial City The obvious defect, as they discovered on close examination, in all these compasses, was the impossibility of adjustment. The traverser either dipped to the nadir or the zenith; and, if you shook it loose, it went bobbing and dodging backward and for ward, first this way, and then that; and then, all at once, it would sweep the whole circle in an instant, - forever in dubiety, and forever in the pursuit of certainty and rest. Mynheer Staub showed them some very curious scales for measuring the nicest lines of length; but good for nothing in real life, for the slightest variations of heat and cold would SO expand or contract them as to make them unreliable. Indeed, they were made to be used in vacuum but this was obtained only by the use of the water-trough, and all the various appliances used by chem ists in a laboratory, by way of rectification and compensation. However, as our pilgrims learned afterwards, all who used any of these scales, in despite of all experience to the contrary, had each for himself his own way of rectification, which he regarded as exact; but, then, there were no two alike.
