Peel Me a Lotus
In 1951 the Australian writers Charmian Clift and George Johnston left grey, post-war London for Greece. Settling first on the tiny island of Kalymnos, then Hydra, their plan was to live simply and focus on their writing The result is Charmian Clift's best known and most loved books, Mermaid Singing and Peel Me a Lotus. Peel Me a Lotus, the companion volume to Mermaid Singing, relates their move to Hydra where they bought a house and grappled with the chaos of domestic life whilst becoming the center of an informal bohemian community of artists and writers. That group included Leonard Cohen, who became their lodger, and his girlfriend Marianne Ihlen Clift paints an evocative picture of the characters and sun-drenched rhythms of traditional life, long before backpackers and mass tourism descended.

Things That Crash, Things That Fly
As a husband and wife make plans for an Italian vacation with friends-to visit her family's Tuscan village-she makes an unexpected, last-minute addition to the itinerary: she plans to leave him upon their return to the States. And her bombshell includes a strange caveat. He isn't allowed to breathe a word of it to their traveling companions. So begins Things That Crash, Things That Fly, the groundbreaking new memoir from award-winning writer Scott Gould.Gould navigates that awkward vacation with his soon-to-be estranged wife in Serra, Italy, then sets out on another, longer journey-a winding route through heartbreak and anger, confusion and futility, despair and discovery. When Gould wangles (under dubious circumstances) a fellowship to research the death of William Guilfoil, a young WWII fighter pilot who crashed and died in the hills near Serra, he instead sets his sights on clarity and closure in his ex-wife's ancestral home. As he grinds through an uncharted future, his story and Guilfoil's become intertwined, and Gould gathers the fragments of a fractured heart. With a brutal honesty tempered with surprising humor, he tells us how he begins to stitch them back together.Things That Crash, Things That Fly is about many things: lost love, daughters and fathers, evaporating marriage, Italian sandals, friendship, bad knees, acrobatic birds, secrecy, oddly placed piercings...but most of all, Gould's inventive memoir is about how it's truly possible to rise and soar, even after you've struck the ground.
To Israel, With Love
Think of it, three of the world's five major religions all began in that very spot! On the one hand, it's such a very common and ordinary spot, too. But for all of its commonness and in all of its ordinariness, it is the place where three of the world's greatest religions were born.I could not find any book that really prepared me for this trip. I promised myself I would write one simple enough for anyone to understand: a guide that would explain some of the unexplained mysteries and collect all the various names for a place so it could be charted on a map. I tried to write objectively―but I am a Christian: born, raised, and remain in the Bible belt, so my perspective probably reveals unintended bias. I am not trying to convert anyone, just presenting the facts and letting the reader make their own conclusions.Since this book is about travel and not intended to be scholarly, I won't burden the pages with sources and footnotes. My sources are very general and ordinary with a complete bibliography at the end, and I do include Bible references at times. The acronyms for different Bible versions are in the "Bibliography by Title" section at the back.This nonfiction book is fully illustrated with more than two hundred photos, mostly by the author, and includes many maps of the area. More than a travelogue featuring biblical events showing where each actually took place more than two thousand years ago, this book also describes what it might be like to visit that place now. It is my hope this journal will at least in some small way provide information to make such a trip more rewarding for you, and that the book will be treasured as a historical record of travel in the late 20th century and early 21st.It took twenty years, two trips to Israel, tons of research, and now here it is. If you have ever dreamed of visiting this incredible country, this book is for you.

Nordlandfahrt
"Von einer dreiw繹chentlichen Fahrt hat noch selten ein Ausfl羹gler eine so 羹ppige Ernte an Eindr羹cken und Erinnerungen heimgebracht wie wir Passagiere der 'Augusta Victoria'." Die "Augusta Victoria" der Rekorde - einst das gr繹?te deutsche Passagierschiff und der erste deutsche Doppelschrauben-Schnelldampfer seiner Zeit auf dem Nordatlantik. Benannt nach der deutschen Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria, war sie das allererste f羹r eine Kreuzfahrt genutzte Schiff der Hamburger Hapag. Die Reise mit einem Schiff als Vergn羹gung stellte eine ganz neue Art des Reisens dar, die gro?es Interesse in der Bev繹lkerung ausl繹ste. In diesem Buch schildert Landau (1850-1944) Abl瓣ufe, Erlebnisse und Eindr羹cke der ersten Nordlandfahrt im Sommer 1894, an der er selbst teilnahm. Drei Wochen lang dauerte die durch Norwegen f羹hrende Vergn羹gungsreise mit dem Dampfer der Hamburg-Amerikanischen Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft.
A Summer in Italy and Amore
After hitchhiking my way through Italy with two girlfriends when I was only 20 years old, it sparked an interest in this remarkable country that I desired to know more about. That summer adventure would result in nine more trips over the years with family and friends. I chronicled those travel excursions that took place within a 45-year span in journals, resulting in the writing of this book.Travel back in time and experience a summer in Italy and more while reading this extraordinary memoir. About the Author: Dee Davidson Dosch was born in Oklahoma and grew up in Springfield, Missouri. She has lived in Illinois, Colorado, and Washington State, but currently once again resides in Springfield, the heart of the Ozarks. She is the mother to three adult children and five grandchildren. After retiring from the medical field, the author became interested in genealogy and still loves to travel. She and her husband now spend their summers on beautiful Table Rock Lake in Branson, Missouri. This is her third book.
Five Years In Ireland, 1895-1900
This book has been considered by academicians and scholars of great significance and value to literature. This forms a part of the knowledge base for future generations. So that the book is never forgotten we have represented this book in a print format as the same form as it was originally first published. Hence any marks or annotations seen are left intentionally to preserve its true nature.
Made in Italy
The aim of this book is to paint a portrait of present-day Italy; titles: Italy As Is, Contemporary Italy, or even, Only In Italy, may have been equally appropriate. The chosen title, Made in Italy, refers to what Italians create with much passion be it haute couture, or alta moda as Italians say, status cars like Ferrari, exquisite food and wine from truffles to chocolate to spumante, but also uniquely Italian style politics, education and money matters. Answers are given to questions like: What is Italy's pop music scene like, and opera, where does it come from, which are Italy's top opera houses? What sort of movies do Italians like? What kind of books do they read, how much do they read? What is modern Italian language like, what are its peculiarities, is it still heavily borrowing from English? Is Italian family, marriage institution values still intact? Where is the best place to live in Italy? How green is Italy? And finally when do Italians retire from work, how much are they paid? Can they live on it? Also included are three entertaining travelogues exploring Liguria, Le Marche and Lazio regions
Venice Observed
With a lack of sentimentality unusual for the genre, Venice Observed explores the history, art, architecture, religion, and cultural peculiarities of the City of Canals. Mordantly witty and legendarily wry, Mary McCarthy catalogs the impressions of such visitors to the city as Montaigne, Stendhal, Spencer, and Henry James, but paints her own wholly original depictions of the city. Her adoration of the immortal city enlivens her interest in everything from the Venetian preference for cats over dogs to Tintoretto's paintings in the Scuola di San Rocco. Concerning Venice's ubiquitous tourists, McCarthy notes, "The complaint against foreigners, voiced by a foreigner, chimes querulously through the ages, in unison with the medieval monk who found St Mark's Square filled with 'Turks, Libyans, Parthians, and other monsters of the sea.' Today it is the Germans we complain of, and no doubt they complain of the Americans, in the same words." Conversational yet deeply informed, Venice Observed is a classic travel narrative for the ages.

Great Escapes Mediterranean. the Hotel Book. 2020 Edition
The Mediterranean is surrounded by three continents - Europe, Africa and Asia - and even though the cultures around this sea are highly diverse, they harmoniously share a pleasant climate, distinctive flora and fauna, and not least the intense blue of the water. Angelika Taschen set out in search of the most beautiful hotels on a great variety of coasts, islands and beaches, taking you on a journey to the luxurious Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc and the ultra-chic Les Roches Rouges on the C繫te d'Azur, to the little-known Pardini's Hermitage on the Italian island of Giglio, which is only accessible by boat or on foot, and to Bodrum in Turkey, where the elegant Amanruya resort lies hidden in one of the most stunning bays in the Mediterranean. She also presents new hotel concepts, great architecture and creative design - such as the finca Menorca Experimental on the Balearic Islands, the modernist Villa Dubrovnik in Croatia and Dexamenes on the Peloponnese, where new life was breathed into decommissioned wine tanks. Further highlights are the brand-new, stylishly designed Mezzatorre on Ischia and the Torre di Cala Piccola with its enchanting private beach on the Argentario peninsula in Tuscany, an almost unknown location that possesses the aura of 1960s Italy. Another gem is La Locanda del Barbabl羅, with just five rooms in the shadow of the mythical volcano on Stromboli. Look forward to staying at the Nord-Pinus in Tangier with its fantastic view of the Strait of Gibraltar, and the charming Coco-Mat Eco Residences on Serifos, or experiencing the originality of Ammos on Crete, where the art and design are as essential as the sun and the beach.

Savoring the Camino de Santiago: It's the Pilgrimage, Not the Hike focuses on the Camino de Santiago, an ancient pilgrimage trail that began around 820 AD and that traverses Spain, ending in Santiago de Compostela, the burial place of St. James the apostle. A resurrection of interest in the Camino since the 1980s has meant that more than 300,000 individuals are nowadays undertaking the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela each year. The author made the pilgrimage in 2016 via the French route from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, a journey of some 500 miles. Her book incorporates a blog and travel journal she kept during that pilgrimage, with an illustration accompanying each of the 49 days of the journey. The book is also a memoir, with Ms. Connor explaining how and why she decided to make the pilgrimage. Savoring the Camino de Santiago offers practical advice for those interested in traveling the Camino. While the prevailing culture of the Camino is to walk the route, Ms. Connor believes that walking is not the only way to undertake the Camino. Taking buses, taxis, or even drivingare also valid ways to experience the Camino, in her opinion. She advocates for pilgrims to slow down and savor the pilgrimage by stopping in churches, cathedrals, museums, and interesting towns and cities along the route. Not everyone experiences spiritual or personal growth through the act of walking; Ms. Connor urges pilgrims to take the trip in the manner that will most connect them with their spiritual, religious, and transcendent well springs. After completing the pilgrimage, the author journeyed on to Madrid and Toledo, and there are chapters in the book covering those visits. Ms. Connor also recounts activities following the journey related to the Camino, such as writing an open letter to relevant governmental authorities in Spain and hosting a thank-you dinner in Houston for those who helped her plan and organize her pilgrimage. The book includes a useful chapter on resources and an index. A blog about the trip, Camino for Boomers (https: //caminoforboomers.com/author/caminoforboomers/), complements the book by offering many additional color photos as well as updates aboutevents relating to the trip. Savoring the Camino de Santiago is the first book by author Julie Gianelloni Connor. It is available via IngramSpark or the Bayou City Press website, BayouCityPress.com.

Reflections on a Marine Venus
WINNER OF THE DUFF COOPER MEMORIAL PRIZE Cyprus, 1953. As the island fights for independence from British colonial rule, ancient conflicts between Turkish and Greek Cypriots trouble the glittering Mediterranean waters. Into the brewing storm comes ex-pat writer Lawrence Durrell, yearning for the idyllic island lifestyle of his youth in Corfu. With his poet's eye for beauty and humour - and passable Greek - Durrell settles into a dilapidated villa and brilliantly captures the moods and atmospheres of island life in a changing world. Whether collecting folklore or wild flowers, describing the brewing revolution or eccentric local characters, this is more than just a classic travel memoir - it is an unforgettably intimate portrait of a community lost forever.
