Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nooks and by-Ways of Italy: Wanderings in Search of Its Ancient Remains and Modern Superstitions I might have increased the size of this volume by entering more fully into the history of the various ancient towns which I visited; but I did not care to trouble myself or my readers with matters which have been often repeated, and which can be got in a variety of works that treat specially on such subjects. I have confined myself in this volume to my tour through the Neapolitan dominions and a small part of the Papal States; but I may at some future period give my wanderings through other regions of Italy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Benedict's Wanderings in Ireland, Scotland, Italy and Sicily: With Illustrations The next thing, as we conceived, was the conver sion of our checks, drafts and greenbacks into English and French gold. Novices in this kind of business, with slight knowledge of the mysteries of money as daily developed in the narrow street under the Shadow of old Trinity, we experienced no little difficulty. It was here and there, hither and thither, Up and down, and across, questions and answers and directions, haste and hurry, jostle and dodge, rumble and rattle and racket, and all ending in the discovery that, at three of the clock in the afternoon, financial business in the little Lombard of America is at an end. At a later hour we returned to our hotel, tired out with fruitless exertion, but in no wise discouraged. Although our Object had not been effected, we had at least found out, at the very last moment, however, just when and where and how the thing must be accomplished.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tchay and Chianti: Or Wanderings in Russia and Italy Who would expect in Moscow to see Lom bard fourteenth-century walls or Italian brick mouldings? Or, again, to find masterpieces of such painters as Raphael and Fra Sebastiano del Piombo, and collections of Gubbio, Urbino. And Castel Durante wares? In this way, it is true, there is perhaps no country in Europe which could not be found directly in relation to that Italy whose amazing genius has provided spacious banquets of intellectual sweets for all the world. For apart from the scattered and travelled treasures of her native princes, her influence is seen and felt in a thousand unsuspected ways. Even Russia, backward as she still is, used three hundred years ago to invite North Italian artists to work for her in her capital cities.

This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from When Mother Lets Us Travel in Italy Perhaps the wanderings of an American family in Italy will interest not only those who can follow in their footsteps, but also those who must stay at home. The journeying of an entire family is rarely a mere holiday, and in the case of Mr. And Mrs. Car ter, and their children, business of an important nature dictates their route. Mr. Carter has been sent abroad by his native state, to study the design ing and building of foreign cities. Sometimes, he is able to make his work interest ing to his children; often he can allow himself a holiday, and join them in excursions to places that hold little promise of help to those who are dream ing of a City Beautiful in Texas. It is to be hoped that the Italian experiences of Alice, Jack and the twins, will lead their friends to follow their fortunes into France and Holland, and the other fascinating countries of Europe.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Something of Italy The present volume is only what it purports to be, Smnethe'ng, not much, about italy - just those glances at the country, its people, and usages which were casually obtained during a three months' excursion in the spring and summer of 1862, along with such observations as are suggested by the hopeful progress of those portions of the Italian peninsula lately nationalised, as well as by the dismal backwardness of those other parts - Rome and Venetia - still under an antiquated and relentless thraldom. The illustrations are chiefly from photographs, in the prepara tion of which the Italians sustain their reputation for artistic excellence. It has to be added, that the substance of the volume appeared as detached papers in the Journal with which the.

This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cart of Many Colors a Story of Italy Signs over the little shops would be written in Italian words; and all the babies would have dark Italian eyes and Shy Italian smiles; and all the people in the street would talk and laugh and sing in Italian; and out of all the doorways would come the smell of Italian cooking. And sometimes, at night, the whole street would be decked and garlanded with little electric lights, red and white and green, to celebrate the birth day Of the Italian saint who used to be the guardian spirit of the old Village in Italy, and who of course had emigrated with his villagers when they came to the new world. The Italians are not the only people who get together in groups and colonies in Our Amer ican cities. The Poles, the Russian Jews, the Germans, the Chinese, all the lonely new immi grants do it. They feel strange and far away from their own lands in this new country, and they want to live next door to some one who understands their language and their Old life. But thoughtful Americans are beginning to see that these little patches of Poland, Germany, Italy, are almost as far from America as if they were still on the other Side of the ocean. Daily messages, by cable and wireless, flash between Italy and America, but between Little Italy and Riverside Drive, in New York, there is no wire less; Mars and the Earth are not more far apart in some ways. It is to help Old Ameri cans and new Americans to get together and understand each other that little books like this one are written, - old Americans whose grand parents were born here, and new Americans whose children will be born here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wanderings in Bible Lands: Notes of Travel in Italy, Greece, Asia-Minor, Egypt, Nubia, Ethiopia, Cush, and Palestine Ine years ago, with a considerable degree of relue tance, the author was induced to publish a book of travels bearing the title, Europe and Bible Lands. The work was received with so much favor that eleven editions were printed to meet the demand for it. From the many kind words written and spoken in regard to the book the author has been led to believe that some good resulted from its publication. And now, after the lapse of almost a half score of years, another journey has been made to the Lands of the Bible, another series of letters has been written and another book is to be sent out on its mission. The question as to the good to be accomplished by a work of this kind has been anxiously considered by the writer. If no good is to come to humanity from it, then the time spent in travel and writing has been wasted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wanderings in Spain It is also necessary at once to lay aside all false expectations as to what one will find. Spain is 7205 a beautiful country. If a traveller expects to find the soft charm and luxuriant loveliness of Italy, life in Spain will be a constant disappoint ment: no hope can possibly be more misplaced. Spain is not the least like Italy: it has not even the beauty of the greater part of France. Beyond the Asturias and the valleys near the Pyrenees, there is not a tree worth speaking of in the Peninsula. There is scarcely any grass; the shrubs may even be counted; except when the corn is out, which here lasts such a short time, there is hardly any vegetation at all. Those who wish to find beauty must only look for beauty of an especial kind - without verdure, or refinement.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tourist in Italy To the eye of the stranger the aspect of Venice first pre sents itself like some vision of the deep, while her history fills the mind with awe and wonder at the stem and fearful realities and heroic recollections with which it abounds. She stands alone and unparalleled in the annals of Italy's tempestuous rep'ublics, - those hypocrites of liberty, which recoiled from foreign despotism only the more effectually to exalt themselves, by harassing and oppressing each other. While torn by internal factions and successive revolutions, the rest of Italy wielded at will their fierce democracies Venice preserved unshaken her high and palmy state, based on the deep, invisible foundations of her more than Machiavellian system, - the combination of petty tyrants, which, unlike that of slaves, seldom fails to accomplish the Objects it has in view.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Impressions of Italy Reader, do you still cherish, in despite of unhappy political misunderstandings, a passionate admiration for Italy, and especially for the secluded spots which have longest resisted the leveling influences of cosmopolitanism? Once you have crossed the Alps do your thoughts wander, as you turn over the leaves of the Guide, to those little towns which contain two or three pictures only, but divine pictures, or pictures whose legendary fame evokes some great historical memory? Do you enjoy narratives of travel without requiring anything more from them than that they shall have been written on the spot, and that, if they have been written by a simple tourist, he shall at least be a tourist who has been the first to take pleasure in his tour? Are you content with a description merely literary - a style now out of fashion - of a picture or a statue without exacting documentary proof of its authenticity?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Italian Travel (1580-1900) It would not be possible to find a generalisation wide enough to express the difference of the Italian and the Teutonic conceptions of life. It was necessary to indicate that a fundamental difference does exist. The better we understand this fact, the easier it will be to trace the gradual appreciation of Italian art from the years following on the close of the Renaissance - which was also the period of the northern Reformation - to the end of the nineteenth century.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twilight in Italy The imperial road to Italy goes from Munich across the Tyrol, through Innsbruck and Bozen to Verona, over the mountains. Here the great processions passed as the emperors went South, or came home again from rosy Italy to their own Germany. And how much has that old imperial vanity clung to the German soul? Did not the German kings inherit the empire of bygone Rome? It was not a very real empire, perhaps, but the sound was high and splendid.
