Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from More About Italy and India As I was at that time quite ignorant con cerning Hinduism and its many gods and god desses it made an impression on my mind which has extended to this day. So, as I have still my old Hindi copy of the book, it has occur red to me that a free translation of it might interest some Canadian friends, helping them to realize something of the depth of ignorance and superstition into which Hinduism has sunk so many of India's people. You may think that some of the talks te corded here are crude and childish, but, in spite of the successful missionary work that has been carried on for the past one hundred years or so, I am convinced that among the villages of India there are many thou sands oi people who are still untouched by the Christian message, and still unreached by the comparative few who are workers in that great harvest field.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Something of Italy The present volume is only what it purports to be, Something, 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 chie y 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.

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?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Italians of to-Day After one of the rugged Alpine passes, how beautiful is the Lombard plain! Barbarians, in ancient days, felt its irresistible charm. Probably it was very much the same when they saw it that it is now - always cultivated, fertile, green, and a marvel of skilful irrigation! What a delicious freshness in the air from these little artificial streamlets that weave a blue network over the land! They cross the highways; they intersect the fields, they come near each other, they go'efar apart; finally, one by one, they fall into the wide canal, which carries elsewhere the fertilizing water, forever running, yet never wasted. From all this irrigation it results that the land gives four or five crops of hay; the ricefields are crowded with heavy ears; the clover is like a blossoming thicket; the cornfields, like canebrakes. The whole land is of marvellous fertility; and still the population is poor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Download or read book The Country of the Ring and the Book Classic Reprint written by Frederick Treves and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Country of "the Ring and the Book" Few need to be reminded that the story is true, and that the poet follows the ancient record with as much exactness as the limner of a missal copies a passage of Holy Writ. It is a tragic story, since of the six chief persons who took part in it four died a violent death, a fifth vanished to distant lands and was heard of no more, while one remained alone to end his days haunted by the face of a dead woman, who, when she lived, had called him far beyond friend. The scene of this tale of the Franceschini is laid in the heart of Italy, in that gracious stretch of valley and hill which lies between Florence and Rome. To the traveller, no part of Italy is more familiar, unless it be the country of the lakes or the northern sea beaches. It is with no widely scattered region that the narrative is concerned, but rather with little more than a winding road between two towns, with the towns themselves.
