Download or read book The Adventures of Charles Edward Classic Reprint written by Harrison Rhodes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-20 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Adventures of Charles Edward It was a pleasant Sight even for one who was not fresh from the regions of the barbarians. Half the tables were still filled, and the restaurant, with its low ceiling and its dark, mahogany-panelled walls, looked like a warm, glowing cave. At a table near by, a party of eight were dining. Facing Austin sat a girl with a quiet face, but an infinite fund of laughter in her eyes. Not much description is needed; every one has seen Lady Angela's portrait in the illustrated papers. Charles Edward withdrew his gaze from her. Mind! He exclaimed. Rather not. No, I don't know anybody here. I have a cousin who has bagged an English husband. If she were here, she would fix me. But the silly woman has chosen just this time to go to America on a Visit. She is sending some letters for me, I believe, but they haven't come. And she won't be back herself for three weeks or so. But even if one got acquainted, one couldn't be sure of getting acquainted with just the people one wants to know.

Download or read book Business Adventures written by John Brooks and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2015-05-14 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The best business book I've ever read.' Bill Gates, Wall Street Journal 'The Michael Lewis of his day.' New York Times What do the $350 million Ford Motor Company disaster known as the Edsel, the fast and incredible rise of Xerox, and the unbelievable scandals at General Electric and Texas Gulf Sulphur have in common? Each is an example of how an iconic company was defined by a particular moment of fame or notoriety. These notable and fascinating accounts are as relevant today to understanding the intricacies of corporate life as they were when the events happened. Stories about Wall Street are infused with drama and adventure and reveal the machinations and volatile nature of the world of finance. John Brooks's insightful reportage is so full of personality and critical detail that whether he is looking at the astounding market crash of 1962, the collapse of a well-known brokerage firm, or the bold attempt by American bankers to save the British pound, one gets the sense that history really does repeat itself. This business classic written by longtime New Yorker contributor John Brooks is an insightful and engaging look into corporate and financial life in America.

Download or read book The Drama of the Forests Romance and Adventure Classic Reprint written by Arthur Henry Howard Heming and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Drama of the Forests Romance and Adventure So, to make my life-dream come true, to contemplate in all its thrilling action and undying splendour the drama of the forests, I travelled twenty-three times through various parts of the vast northern woods, between Maine and Alaska, and covered thousands upon thousands of miles by canoe, pack train, snowshoes, bateau, dog-train, buck-board, timber-raft, prairie-schooner, lumber-wagon, and alligator. No one trip ever satisfied me, or afforded me the knowledge or the experience I sought, for traversing a Single section of the forest was not une making one's way along a single street of a metropolis and then trying to persuade oneself that one knew all about the city's life. So back again I went at all seasons of the year to encamp in that great timber-land that sweeps from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Thus it has taken me thirty-three years to gather the information this volume contains, and my only hope in writing it is that perhaps others may have had the same day - dream, and that in this book they may find a reliable and satisfactory answer to all their wonderings. But making my dream come true - what delight it gave me! What sport and travel it afforded me! What toil and sweat it caused me! What food and rest it brought me! What charming places it led me through! What interesting people it ranged beside me! What romance it unfolded before me! And into what thrill ing adventures it plunged me!

Download or read book The Dream of the Soldier Saint Classic Reprint written by Leo H. Mullany and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dream of the Soldier Saint The reign of Ferdinand and Isabella is one which historians date from and imaginative schoolboys linger over. The union of the crowns of Castile and Arragon had resulted in a monarchy which, for the strength of its organization and the splendor of its court, chal lenged comparison with any power in European history. Then were eight hundred years of war brought to a triumphant issue in the Conquest of Granada, and the Moorish race was expelled from Spain forever. And in the first flush of this victory Isabella took the step that was to give another world to men. When we first read the story of Columbus, we blessed that splendid Queen for the fine burst of generosity, not unmingled with recklessness, with which she espoused the cause of a man whom all the world called a fool. Yet the impulse was in keeping with her day. The air was electric with high enthusiasm, charged with the spirit of adventure. It was the day of great dreams and great deeds.

Download or read book Gateway Mexico written by Nathan D. Horowitz and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-28 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A travelogue, a coming of age story, a gritty philosophical reflection; a clear-eyed, passionate study of culture, nature, and the mind. With sex, drugs, violence, mental illness, tamales, and sensitive poetry. "Nathan D. Horowitz's 'Gateway Mexico' has the fine subtitle 'Adventures of another gringo who wanted to be a shaman, ' which conveys well what the book is about, and also the mixture of seriousness and irony which makes the book very worth reading. The adventures of the youthful, naive, first-person narrator, who is also called Nathan and may well be more than just an alter ego of the author, lead us through Mexico and Ecuador, always in search of the hallucinogenic plants or plant mixtures peyote and ayahuasca. His wondering, often self-doubting view, and his experiences with flora and fauna and with the indigenous communities where he seeks shamanistic experiences and healing from the pain of the world, shape the mood of this book, which recalls a little Carlos Castañeda, a little Wade Davis' phenomenal 'One River.' Ciro Guerra's film 'The Embrace of the Serpent' also comes to mind when reading." -- Wolfgang Ratz

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Children on the Plains: A Story of Travel and Adventure From the Missouri to the Rocky Mountains The morning light was stealing gently over the "Great Plains," between the Missouri River and the Rocky Mountains. In the midst of the wide prairie a company of emigrants had pitched their camp. Their white waggons had clustered there, like a flock of huge birds, the evening before, and now in the grey dawn the travellers were already astir. The smoke of their breakfast fires was slowly curling upward, and the only half-rested animals were being harnessed anew to the strong waggons. There was no spirit of cheerfulness and energy abroad in the camp. On all sides there were murmurings and bitter expressions of disappointment.
