Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wayside Gleanings in Europe As the gleaner, at the close of the day, carefully as sorts every head of wheat gathered, and binds the golden grain into sheaves, so was I in the habit of assorting and storing away the fruits of each day at its close. In secluded mountain retreats, in village inns, and in the more noisy quarters of the crowded city, I thrashed the harvest and garnered it in articles for the columns and pages of different periodicals. Thus it happened that the greater part of this volume was written at or near the places to which reference is made. The impressions of men and manners, of things seen, heard and felt, were noted down when yet fresh and vivid in the mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1828 James Fenimore Cooper, his wife, and their five children set out from Paris for Switzerland, and Cooper wrote that he experienced a "glorious anticipation," for "a common-place converse with men was about to give place to a sublime communion with Nature." Sketches of Switzerland, the book which describes this experience and which is republished here for the first time in the United States since its original issue in 1836, was the first of five European travel books written, Cooper said, "for my own Countrymen," in which the American novelist gave "rapid sketches" of what he saw "with American eyes," studiously avoiding the drab, factual accounts of ordinary tourists. His indispensable resources in the composition of Switzerland were his gifts of total recall and his skill in writing prose pictures in the style then known as "picturesque." Seeking an immediacy analogous to that of the artist's brush, Cooper captures various elements of "picturesque" style, especially the incongruity between the sublime, terrifying scenery and the more familiar sights and associations of domestic life. Even in the creation of verbal pictures, Cooper could not resist expressing his concerns with society and politics; and though his criticism seems harmless enough today—perhaps even salutary—it was disturbing to American readers less secure than Cooper in their confidence in their institutions and society. Partly, at least, for this reason, Cooper's most successful nonfictional experiment in the "picturesque" mode has never been adequately appreciated.
