Braver Than You Think
"A powerful account of a journey that proves 'This Girl Can'.""A yearning for space and silence; for air in the lungs; for purpose - the simplicity of a defined mission - had banished doubt and fear and driven me to climb on my bike. And as I pedalled up the country, venturing far beyond my comfort zone in every sense, I found within me untapped reserves of determination, singlemindedness, and pure joy that spurred me on further. I saw the truth in the saying that you only know what you're capable of when you're pushed beyond your limits."Are you braver than you think?That's the question Claire Davies began asking herself as she cycled from Land's End to John O'Groats, ill-prepared, unsupported and alone.At a mid-life low point, craving space and time to think, or not to think, Claire decided that a long bicycle ride was what she needed. Setting off for Scotland just a few weeks later, on a bike named Trixie, guided by a gadget called Guillaume, she had little idea what she was letting herself in for.It turned out to be a journey not only to better physical fitness and mental health, but also to empowerment and self-discovery, partly through the eyes of the people she met along the way.On one level, this book is a travelogue, a day-by-day account of an iconic British journey, to be enjoyed as much by those with real aspirations of cycling from Land's End to John O'Groats as by armchair cycle tourers.But the challenges Claire faced on the ride, and her personal reflections from the saddle, will also serve as inspiration for anyone who needs coaxing out of their comfort zone, or is simply seeking a spot of vicarious adventure.
Noto An Unexplored Corner Of Japan
Noto: An unexplored corner of Japan is a reflective travel account written in the late 1800s that captures the curiosity and observational precision of a Western traveler immersed in the Japanese landscape. The work begins with the author's fascination ignited by a simple map, which evokes an irresistible urge to explore a peninsula largely unknown outside Japan. This initial intrigue grows into a deliberate and well-supplied expedition, blending physical travel with cultural exploration. The early passages chronicle his journey's outset, highlighting the logistical effort involved and the novelty of venturing into unfamiliar regions. The presence of a Japanese assistant not only provides practical aid but also introduces moments of cultural exchange and contrast. The text emphasizes sensory experiences and emotional nuances, rendering the physical journey secondary to the traveler s inward reflection on difference, distance, and belonging. In this way, the work resists being reduced to a mere itinerary, positioning the act of travel as an interpretive exercise rather than a conquest of foreign space.
Oriental Encounters Palestine And Syria, 1894-6
Oriental encounters: Palestine and Syria, 1894-6 presents a reflective journey through the landscapes and societies of the Eastern Mediterranean during a pivotal historical period. It begins with the narrator's internal conflict between institutional ambition and a yearning for deeper understanding, sparked by a failure to enter the Consular Service and a maternal suggestion to travel. As he arrives in unfamiliar territory, the narrative contrasts Western detachment with the region's vivid immediacy. The early chapters explore the psychological tension between cultural loyalty and immersive curiosity, underscored by discomfort among the European expatriates and a longing to engage with the region's people. Interactions with locals reveal a tapestry of humor, empathy, and subtle resistance to imperial perspectives. Rather than impose interpretation, the author seeks mutual recognition, capturing fleeting yet meaningful exchanges that challenge his assumptions. The result is a nuanced portrayal of place shaped as much by introspection as by external detail, suggesting that true discovery lies not in conquest but in relinquishing certainty.

Dispatches from the Piazza
Welcome to the Mediterranean - a world where stilettos are the footwear of choice, athleisure doesn't exist, aperitivo hour is every hour, and carbohydrates have never been off limits. Why do we page through the Travel Section to learn about wine tasting in Umbria or scroll through influencer posts to see what sunsets look like when you're on a yacht in the Cote d'Azur? What is it about photos of spaghetti pomodoro or young women in Breton shirts? It is to leave the earthly bounds of our lives and be somewhere else. Somewhere truly fabulous where everyone looks fantastic and just gets sexier the older they get and smokes and smokes and smokes and smokes (and drinks) but also seemingly never dies. This place is called the Mediterranean. Author Danielle Pergament transports readers to the sun-drenched streets of this stunning region, where life moves at a slower pace and pleasure is a priority. Comedic essays and cheeky observations about the Mediterranean lifestyle are paired with tutorials for applying your eyeliner like Penelope Cruz and styling a scarf like Grace Kelly, as well as tips for navigating cobblestone streets in stilettos. Playful illustrations from New Yorker illustrator Mokshini bring Danielle's witty observations to life. With this book by your side, la dolce vita is yours for the taking.
Travel Artist
Travel Artist: Sketchbook Drawings and True Stories from the Road is an illustrated travelogue drawn from 20 years of travel to 50 countries, and from the scores of sketchbooks and journals created along the way. A sketchbook changes travel, from checking off an itinerary checklist and Instagram moments to a journey of discovery: about places, about people, about yourself. Richards' stories are told through hundreds of full color and black and white travel sketches and essays that cross the globe, from the savannahs of Kenya to the Central Highlands of Vietnam, from the Hemingway haunts of Key West to the customs interrogation room of the Havana airport. The stories and drawings pull the reader into the transformational experience of international travel, and the added richness and creative rush that closer observation and on-location sketching brings to it. The book is a must-have for creatives, for urban sketchers, and for anyone with an explorer's heart and a creative itch.
Silver Screen Cities Amsterdam & Brussels
Amsterdam and Brussels are great cities for cinema-going.David Kintore explores Amsterdam by visiting cinemas such as Studio K, The Movies, EYE Film Institute, the magnificent Path矇 Tuschinski, and many more. He explores Brussels with visits to cinema gems including Arenberg, Cinemathek, Vend繫me, Flagey Studio 5, Styx and Nova.Written by a filmgoer who loves wandering around cities as much as he enjoys sitting in cinemas watching films, the Silver Screen Cities books spring from the notion that visiting cinemas and their neighbourhoods is a wonderful way of getting to know different cities.The books in the Silver Screen Cities series are a celebration of city cinema-going.Unlike conventional collections of film reviews, the Silver Screen Cities books are about the whole experience surrounding cinema-going rather than just a series of film reviews.The film reviews in the Silver Screen Cities books sometimes take up only one or two paragraphs in a chapter.That's because city cinema-going is about much more than just the film that is being shown.It's about the cinema itself and the audience watching the film.It's about the unique vibe of different cities with their varied array of bars, caf矇s, restaurants and art museums.And it's about the feeling of freedom that comes from wandering a city's streets before or after seeing a film.

France
In the summer of 1995 we made an epic 2000 mile journey to the Alps and back, keeping to the high passes that border Italy and Switzerland. It was soon after I'd passed my test and bought a motor bike, a 1000cc BMW police bike. We travelled through Burgundy on minor roads down the Yonne Valley from Auxerre to Nolay, where we stayed in a friend's house both on the journey out and back. From Besan癟on we rode through Switzerland over the Forclaz Pass in pouring rain to beautiful sunshine in Chamonix. We skirted the Vanoise National Park, where we'd been the summer before and Mont Cenis where we'd skied the previous winter. Our goal was further south where we planned to walk in the Queyras. But to get there we had to cross the Petit Saint Bernard, walled in by 3 metre snow drifts, the Col de l'Iseran, Mont Cenis and the Col d'Izoard. On reaching the Queyras we met a young man called Michel who invited us to stay at his family home in L'Eychaillon, What we didn't realise, when we agreed to follow him on his motorbike, was that his home was high up above the valley and the only way there was up a switch back dirt road. We left the bike there and went off walking on a mini tour of the Queyras, staying in delightful mountain refuges and dining properly in the French way. We had to race back for a friend's wedding covering 550 miles on the last day, but nevertheless found time to sample the Ecrins national Park and go white water rafting near Brian癟on. It was a great adventure.
Slovakia
The High Tatras form part of the Carpathian mountain range lying between Poland and Slovakia. The Tatra National Park (Tatransk羸 n獺rodn羸) was founded in 1948. There are 29 peaks over 2,500m. I found the name romantic and had wanted to visit them for some time until the opportunity arose. Peter, a post-doctoral student at Cambridge, and he and his wife Paulina and baby Palko lived in our house in Cambridge for a few months in 2007 and subsequently invited us to visit them in Bratislava.. Slovakia is green and hilly. The woods, cover the hills like a quilt, and meet the sloping fields in soft wavy lines. The Tatras are different. They are 'young' mountains formed by Alpine-Himalayan folding and thrusting and subsequently shaped by ice age glaciation. The core is a crystalline massif covered by a thick layer of sedimentary rocks. For the hiker and climber they are something of a 'hidden gem', with their impressive spiky summits. The jewel is Kriv獺ň (2,495 m), and its famous curved profile is an important symbol in Slovak culture. Rysy, straddles the border between Slovakia and Poland, and is the Poland's tallest peak. Lomnicky stit is the second highest peak in the High Tatras after Gerlach (2,655m). We climbed all three. We also get a feel for the history of a central European country emerging from Soviet dominance, now looking prosperous and modern.
France
We had tried twice before to climb Mont Blanc - with Scharlie in 1994 and with my Italian friend Dimitri in 1996. This time I didn't want to fail again and had asked my friend Roger Mear, a distinguished climber and expeditioner and professional mountain guide, to "guide" me up the mountain. The plan was to spend a few days climbing with Scharlie to get fit and acclimatise before joining Roger. Cathy, Scharlie's friend from Cambridge who ran the Cambridge Festival, decided she'd join us and accompany Scharlie on part of the Tour de Mont Blanc while Roger and Steve were climbing. Despite rain and mist, and Scharlie's boots giving out on our way to do a route on the Aiguille du Peigne, we managed a couple of good training routes. Steve and Roger had a good day on a training route on Mont Blanc du Tacul before attempting Mont Blanc via Mont Maudit. Unfortunately we were beaten back by bad weather. Rather than repeat the same route Roger decided we could reach Mont Blanc via the blunt snow ridge of the D繫mes de Miage. Unlike other standard ways, we had this route to ourselves, which was delightful. Meanwhile, Scharlie and Cathy three legs of the Tour de Mont Blanc from Les Contamines to Courmayeur. The journal also include photos from Steve's previous climbing trip to Chamonix with a party of Italian climbers in 1996.

Our First Adventure

To the Farthest Rock
In 1952, at the age of twenty-seven, Mohan Rakesh undertook a journey to south India, travelling by bus, train and steamer along the western coast from Bombay to Kanyakumari. Young and ardent, he dreamt of the wide expanse of sea that would make up for a childhood spent in Amritsar's narrow lanes, and had visions of comely guides who would look kindly upon his wandering. But once he set out from Delhi on a train to Bombay, his visions slipped away and complex reality took over. To the Farthest Rock is a remarkable account of the hope and despair that characterized post-Independence India. Rakesh had only published a few short stories when he quit a teaching job in Shimla in order to travel, but readers who know his later work will recognize his skill with portraits of people and his exceptional ability to render fluctuations of feeling. Set against the verdant coastal landscape of Goa and Kerala, this absorbing travelogue is a fine introduction to the mind of one of Hindi's greatest novelists and playwrights.
