Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Purple Land We are often told that an author never wholly loses his affection for a first book, and the feeling has been likened (more than once) to that of a parent towards a first-born. I have not said it, but in consenting to this reprint I considered that a writer's early or unre garded work is apt to be raked up when he is not standing by to make remarks. He may be absent on a journey from which he is not expected to return. It accordingly seemed better that I should myself supervise a new edition, since this would enable me to remove a few of the numerous spots and pimples which decorate the ingen ious countenance of the work before handing it on to posterity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Purple and Fine Linen: A Novel Sept. 21. - I wonder why mamma always crowds Pineside with people the first week in October. I think that she does so partly because we are pretty sure to have divine days at that period, and partly because if ever people are obtainable as country-visitors it is just then, - at least the sort which mamma likes to have about her. Now that October is on the verge of appearing again, it seems very natural that certain preparations should be made among the "many-corridored complexities" of Pineside; preparations which I have observed speechlessly. For that matter, I usually observe all the features of mamma's domestic management with silence enough to quite charm a sphynx. It is very possible that if I should discover combustible indications among halls and pantries, some morning, of an intent on mamma's part to burn the house down, my objections to such a procedure would merely take the placid form of rushing for personal valuables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Happy Far-Away Land Once upon a time there lived in the land of Far Away a king who was called King Cole. and He was a good and kind king, and all his people loved him, for he did everything he could to make them happy. He was fond of music, and every evening, after he had eaten the big bowl of porridge which he had for tea every day - for although he was a king, he liked simple things to eat - he would call for his pipe, which had a lions head carved on it, and sit back in his great chair, smoking, while his three fiddlers played merry music to him. Now, the people in Far Away Land are very fond of singing. They sing at their work, and they sing at their play, and the songs that they sing are all about the country they live in, and the things that happen there. King Cole often heard the men as they went to work in the morning singing a song as they passed the palace - a song they had made about him - and he laughed as he heard it, for this is what it was: "Old King Cole was a merry old soul, A merry old soul was he; He called for his pipe, and he called for his bowl, And he called for his fiddlers three."

Book excerpt: Richard Lamb travels through "Banda Oriental" (Uruguay) to find himself a perfect job and a perfect girl while his wife back home is totally oblivious to his colourful and often comic misadventures. Richard finds himself in various tricky spots, amongst natives and eventually comes to an important realisation—English imperialism is bad for this place!Jorge Luis Borges dedicated an essay to The Purple Land in his book Other Inquisitions. He compared Hudson's novel to the Odyssey and described it as perhaps the "best work of gaucho literature." Ernest Hemingway also famously referred to Hudson's book in his novel The Sun Also Rises. Excerpt: "Three chapters in the story of my life—three periods, distinct and well defined, yet consecutive—beginning when I had not completed twenty-five years and finishing before thirty, will probably prove the most eventful of all. To the very end they will come back oftenest to memory and seem more vivid than all the other years of existence—the four-and-twenty I had already lived, and the, say, forty or forty-five—I hope it may be fifty or even sixty—which are to follow. For what soul in this wonderful, various world would wish to depart before ninety! The dark as well as the light, its sweet and its bitter, make me love it..."

Download or read book Purple Land written by W.H. Hudson and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2002-09-22 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1885, The Purple Land was the first novel of William Henry Hudson, author of Green Mansions. The Anglo-Argentine naturalist distinguished himself both as one of the finest craftsmen of prose in English literature and as a thinker on ecological matters far ahead of his time. The Purple Land is the exuberant, often wryly comic, first-person account of a young Englishman’s imprudent adventures, set against a background of political strife in nineteenth-century Uruguay. Eloping with an Argentine girl, young Richard Lamb makes an implacable enemy of his teenage bride’s father. Leaving her behind, he goes ignorantly forth into the interior of the country to seek his fortune and is eventually imprisoned and persecuted by the vengeful father. His narrative closes as he sets off on still another impetuous quest. This facsimile of the 1904 Three Sirens Press edition includes striking woodcuts by Keith Henderson illustrating the characters in the novel and the fauna of Uruguay. Ilan Stavans’s introduction offers an opportunity to revisit The Purple Land as a "road novel" in which an outsider offers reflections on nationality and diasporic identity.
