Whenever I approached a peasant's house towards nightfall, I played one of mymost merry tunes, and that procured me not only a lodging but subsistence for the next day.' When he reached Italy he says My skill in music could avail me nothing in a country where every peasant was a better musician than I; but by this time I had acquired another title which answered my purpose as well, and this was a skill in dis putation. In all the foreign Universities and convents there are, upon certain days, philosophical theses maintained against every adventitious disputant; for which, if the champion op poses with any dexterity, he can claim a gratuity in money, a dinner, and a bed for one night. In this manner, therefore, I fought my way towards England, walked along from city to city, examined mankind more nearly, and, if I may so express it, saw both sides of the picture.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Davy Crockett has been America's best-known folk hero for at least 160 years. This informed biography by James Atkins Shackford first appeared in 1956, at the height of the television-inspired Crockett craze. As Michael Lofaro notes in his introduction, "Shackford faced the monumental task of rescuing a nearly unknown David Crockett from the obscurity caused by the popularity of the earlier legendary Davys and deepened by Disney." He succeeded memorably, restoring David Crockett of Tennessee, a true pioneer and colorful figure even without romantic trappings.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Traveller's Joy Or should your passing be at the noontide, then stay and rest awhile in the cool parlour, and mine host will bring you fruit from the garden. You may dine like a monk at a festival, if simplicity be your aim; and for a drink - well, William Hodges makes his own cider, and he is proud to tell you there is none better. But if you wish to keep summer in manner inimitable, go to that wild south country where the region of oak and pine, birch and bracken, sand stone and scattered commons, breaks into sunny meadows and rich pastures just under the South Downs, and seek there that sign which looks both ways of the road. Then stay at that inn of good omen all the summer long, and I shall wonder if you do not desire to stay all the winter too.

Download or read book The Compleat Traveller in Black written by John Brunner and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One journey. Six stories. Mind-blowing fantasy from the Hugo Award winner, “one of the most important science fiction authors” (SF Site). In The Compleat Traveller in Black, six linked tales, comprising one of Brunner’s rare ventures into fantasy, relate the legend of a man with many names, who travels the world with a staff made of light and performs his eternal duty by bringing order to a world filled with chaos. What he dispenses is always asked for but not always welcomed by the recipients. And the world becomes, step by slow step, a better place for those who remain. For each generation, there is a writer meant to bend the rules of what we know. Hugo Award winner (Best Novel, Stand on Zanzibar) and British science fiction master John Brunner remains one of the most influential and respected authors of all time, and now many of his classic works are being reintroduced. For readers familiar with his vision, this is a chance to reexamine his thoughtful worlds and words, while for new readers, Brunner’s work proves itself the very definition of timeless.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Traveller the Elegy It had been originally determined that Oliver should be put to a trade when comparatively young, for the small income and large family of his father seemed to make it impossible for him to receive as thorough an education as his elder brother but soon after this time the entreaties of his mother produced a change in the family plans, and Oliver was removed from the village school, first to Elphin, then to Athlone, and lastly to Edgeworthstown, that he might be prepared for the University. As a school-boy he was quick and clever, though certainly not too indus trions but he gave sufficient promise of future excellence to induce some wealthy friends and kinsmen - among whom may be mentioned especially the Rev. Thomas Contatine - to contribute largely to the expenses of his education. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Uncommercial Traveller No landlord is my friend and brother, no chambermaid 1c ves me, no waiter worships me, no boots admires and envies me. No round of beef or tongue or ham is expressly cooked for me, no pigeon-pie is especially made for me, no hotel advertisement is personally addressed to me, no hotel-room tapestried with great-coats and railway wrappers is set apart for me, no house Of public entertainment in the United Kingdom greatly cares for my opinion of its brandy or sherry. When I go upon my journeys, am not usually rated at a low figure in the bill when I come home from my journeys, I never get any commission. I know nothing about prices, and should have no idea, if I were put to it how to wheedle a man into ordering something he doesn't want. As a town traveler, I am never to be seen driving a vehicle externally like a young and volatile piano-forte van, and internally like an oven in which a number of flat boxes are baking in layers. As a country traveler, I am rarely to be found in a gig, and am never to be encountered by a pleasure train waiting on the platform of a branch station, quite a Druid in the midst of a light Stonehenge of samples.

Book excerpt: Chiang Yee's account of London, first published in 1938, is original in more ways than one. Not only one of the first widely available books written by a Chinese author in English, it also reverses the conventions of travel writing. For here the "exotic" subject matter is none other than London and its people, quizzically observed as an alien culture by a foreign writer.
