The Italian Reckoning
It was the trip of a lifetime... where he found an unexpected treasure, beyond the prized photographs he made. It had been a long dream for Marco, to finally reach and touch the Italian land. Shortly after his arrival in Rome, standing on the Bridge of Angels, where he had begun to make his first photographs, he immediately felt something deep, stirring in his soul from decades ago. Memories were being awakened, but something else was surfacing. Whatever it was, it would have to wait. There were too many photographs to make, with limited minutes each day. He traveled there, looking for something else unaware, until landing that last day in Moscufo, the town of his grandfather, his father's father. Then came the tap on the shoulder in the Piazza Umberto, and he couldn't believe what flowed back into him, from fifty years ago. On that last train back to Rome, he knew he had been given something remarkable.

My Wife Suggested Crete
The origin of "My Wife Suggested Crete" was a week's package holiday, by the author and his wife Jennie Feryhough, to a Greek island at the southern edge of Europe in 2011. Little did they then realise how completely they would succumb to the charms of this island and its inhabitants. This is the story of how it happened.A lifetime interest in history and landscapes, together with a grounding in the hospitality industry, all contributed to his growing fascination with the island of Crete and her people.Having reached retirement age and now with numerous Cretan holidays happily remembered in countless photo albums, Hugh felt it was time to put pen to paper.
Terra Cognita
Twenty-seven years in the making, Terra Cognita chronicles the author's continual travels--and problematic (if still, at times, ecstatic) encounters--in the "bel paese." Across nine richly evocative essays, Chad Davidson investigates the seemingly never-ending fascination that travelers have with Italy. As much a meditation on what home and away mean as it is a travel memoir, Terra Cognita finds literary predecessors such as Dante and Italo Calvino crowding in alongside more accustomed sights from travel shows, Hollywood films, and tourist guides. Though each essay departs from a particular location in Italy and remains rooted in the author's own history there, the book ultimately becomes less about those places and more about the placelessness any such journey can engender, how--even after flying across an ocean and landing in a foreign country--we are still hopelessly and fully ourselves.
Ramblings and Roundabouts
Brenda Revard had taken many trips across the United States with her husband, Brian, over the course of their thirty-five-year marriage. As retirement approached, they decided it was time to explore the world beyond their own borders. They sold their house, parted with most of their belongings, and bought a motorhome ... in Amsterdam.But Brenda quickly discovered that they had more to learn than European visa rules and driving laws. International travel required them to adapt to different cultures, navigate unfamiliar terrains, and find basic staples on the fly -- a challenge for someone who liked to plan everything out ahead of time. Solving these problems not only brought a sense of accomplishment, but also led to delightful surprises as they encountered new people and places.Ramblings & Roundabouts: An American Couple's Travels in Europe -- Mostly by Motorhome chronicles Brenda's journeys outside her homeland and her comfort zone. Containing a myriad of travel tips, her memoir will inspire anyone who's dreamed of embarking on a grand adventure.
Vitali's Ireland
A unique perspective on 21st century Irish cultural identity, delivered in a style rich with his typical sardonic wit. Ukrainian-born Vitali Vitaliev, an award-winning travel writer and journalist, uses his outsider's perspective to recount his Irish adventures. A renowned cultural observer, he muses on the nation's quirks and stereotypes, whilst his reference to mid-19th century guide books provides an insightful historical comparison. The result is an affectionate if slightly perplexed portrait of a nation in transition.Vitali's time in Ireland coincided with the period of the now dead and buried 'Celtic Tiger' yet the author saw no sign of it. At times, he recounts, "I was ready to believe that its very existence was a myth, a creation of the lazy journalists' and inept economists' imagination." Daily life in the Republic of Ireland, he observed, was more reminiscent of that in a third world country, rather than of a modern industrial and financial 'mini-giant' - as it was at that time being described by the world media. "During my travels, I developed a chronic dislike for the elusive and intrusive Tiger. It simply did not fit with Ireland's pristine landscape and even less so - with the nation's poetic soul."Ukrainian-born Vitali Vitaliev, an award-winning travel writer and journalist, uses his outsider's perspective to recount his Irish adventures. A renowned cultural observer, he muses on the nation's quirks and stereotypes, whilst his reference to mid-19th century guide books provides an insightful historical comparison. The result is an affectionate if slightly perplexed portrait of a nation in transition.Reviews of Vitali's Ireland: "This is a book that will perplex and infuriate some but appear quite humorous to others . . . Eccentric guide to a land of contradictions . . . A rather eclectic mixture of farce, travel guide and personal observation . . . This book should be required reading for those executives who run our tourist authorities."Colin Lenihan, Minister for Integration, in The Irish Times"Slightly eccentric and highly enjoyable . . . Slightly cranky, sometimes bewildered, often meandering back across his life and generally highly entertaining, Vitali's Ireland is very much an outsider's look into our country. If he doesn't know what to make of us, it is maybe because he is viewing us at a junction where we don't know what to make of ourselves."Dermot Bolger, in Sunday Business"Vitali is big hearted, broad minded and smart as a whip . . . A Ukranian-born Russian exile whose worldwide perambulations have produced a string of fine, intelligent works of idiosyncratic reportage, this somewhat unusual visitor offers a valuable gift to us Irish readers: The outside perspective . . . Vitaliev wanders the 32 counties like some kind of gormless, amiable pilgrim, half-Mr Bean, half-Socrates. . . . (His) observations on the folly of the Northern conflict are heartbreaking in their simplicity and world-weary resignation . . . I could fill this paper with quotable extracts"Hugh Tynan, in the Irish Examiner Weekend

L矇on Degrelle in Exile (1945-1994)
Crash landing in San Sebasti獺n, Spain in 1945, SS-Standartenf羹hrer L矇on Joseph Marie Ignace Degrelle (1906-1994) narrowly escaped death from his native Belgium and the Allied forces. Stripped of his Belgian citizenship and sentenced to death in absentia for his part in the German side of WWII, Degrelle lived the rest of his life in exile in Spain, harbored unofficially by Franco's government. During these forty-nine years in exile, Degrelle never expressed any regret for his place in the war, nor did he remain silent as fantastic narratives were woven about the events of the war and the supposed atrocities of the Germans and their allies in the decades following. Despite attacks on his family, vilification by the whole world, and many conflicts with the Church, he never wavered in either his Catholic faith, or his conviction in National Socialism.L矇on Degrelle in Exile (1945-1994) presents the story of these forty-nine years, complete with extensive letters between Degrelle and his friends and family, interviews, speeches, and anecdotes from those who knew and loved him. Degrelle was one of the few remaining from the Axis side to share his account of the war and his commentary on the world as it changed drastically after their defeat in 1945.Antelope Hill Publishing is proud to present Jos矇 Lu穩s Jerez Riesco's L矇on Degrelle in Exile (1945-1994) translated into English for the important task of preserving this great man's legacy.
Camino De La Luna - Unconditional Love (Without Pictures)
In June 2016 I decided to sell my house of 22 years and leave my comfort zone. Slowly the Camino de Santiago showed itself and I decided, with no rucksack or hiking experience to start... But that's another story, the one that led to this. My Camino taught me to let go, to travel light and wash my clothes in the shower, but most importantly it taught me to trust my heart and my feet, to let my journey unfold naturally, instinctively, intuitively. In the words of the theme song from my favourite TV show, "Nobody knows where they might end up" when they follow their heart. Riding high on reaching the true destination of my Camino I raced to the airport to leave a country I'd fallen in love with but which I'd had enough of (for the moment). There were two flights out that night; Seattle or Vancouver. My heart was calling me to Seattle, the Emerald City, the home of my TV family, but it all depended on my cab driver and how fast I could run with a loaded rucksack.
Camino De La Luna - Forgiveness (Without Pictures)
It takes something really powerful to make you leave Hawai'i (or you know, running out of money). I found myself called back to England by my heart, but not for long. It wasn't yet time to settle, it was time to explore another country I'd once fallen in love with, Croatia and to see if I could find a home, a place to rest and write. I didn't have any idea quite how much more I had to learn, to understand and this journey was going to show me, above all things, the power of forgiveness.
The Guide to Venice (Murano, Burano, the 100 Year Old Restaurant, the House of Marco Polo, the Canals and Bridges) from Pearl Escapes 2017
I used to get extremely burnt out and couldn't even handle booking a hotel or flight when I did have time off. I thought "Wouldn't it be awesome if someone would write a guide that gave you one perfect escape; the hotel, sight, flight and restaurant." So that's what I did. (Although this one doesn't have a spa!) My new series of mini-guides is specifically designed to give you the precise information, the recipe you need to have the adventure - without getting bogged down with too many choices or details. Venice waits for you. It is the home of the artist, the writer, adventurer or madman (depending on how you look at it) for thousands of years. Their spirit abides, Marco Polo, Da Vinci, Shakespeare, Christie... haunting the canals, which demand exploration and defy explorers. "You will come away feeling as if she was sharing with you personally and will want to read more of her life adventures." "I finally feel like I'm really living, not just surviving."
Walking in the Footsteps of Odysseus
This book has been updated in 2024. It leads the visitor on a self-guided tour of Homer's Ithaca. It follows ancient footpaths to landmarks traditionally identified by Homerists, philologists and archaeologists with the descriptions made by Homer in his epic poem The Odyssey. Visitors can see for themselves the landscape and topography of Ithaca and make their own comparisons with the ancient words of Homer. The guide follows the footsteps of the island's ancient hero Odysseus on his return to his beloved home island. The paths lead to the site, at Agios Athanasios / School of Homer, most widely believed by scholars to be that of his palace. There the finds made between 1994 and 2010 by the archaeologists Litsa and Thanasis Papadopoulos from the University of Ioannina in Central Greece are described. Homer's epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey are among the oldest extant works of Western literature, on which they have had a profound influence. The Iliad tells the story of the ninth year of the Trojan War; The Odyssey tells how King Odysseus, a hero of that war, makes his eventful journey back to his home island of Ithaca. By the time Odysseus arrived back on Ithacan soil, twenty years had passed since he set out to fight in the Trojan War. He left behind his young wife, Penelope, and their baby son, Telemachus. Back in Ithaca, as the years went by, Penelope was besieged by suitors who assumed that Odysseus was dead and wanted to claim his kingdom. The poet Homer describes Odysseus' reunion, first with his son, Telemachus, a baby when he left and now a fine young man, and then with his loyal wife, Penelope. He tells, in gruesome detail, how he and a small group of colleagues kill all 108 of Penelope's suitors. Twelve out of 24 books of The Odyssey take place after Odysseus' arrival back in Ithaca. This famous story was passed down through the generations for over 3,000 years. Yet, even after all these years, and its many different translations, it is hard not to conclude that, to make such precise descriptions, Homer must have visited Ithaca to see its landscape with his own eyes. There are a few objects, coins and tripods, on public display on Ithaca, and some that can be seen elsewhere, that firmly link the hero Odysseus with this island and no other. These are also described in this guide along with a brief background history of their discovery. Many and varied theories have been recently put forward that the location of Homeric Ithaca may be in a different place to the modern Greek island of Ithaca. These are summarised along with the main arguments used in their support. The main reasons why these do not hold water are then briefly explained. After taking the walks described in this book the intelligent visitor may be convinced that the kingdom of Odysseus was centred on this island, and that Homeric and modern Ithaca are one and the same.

An Inland Voyage
"For will anyone dare to tell me that business is more entertaining than fooling among boats? He must have never seen a boat, or never seen an office, who says so." -Robert Louis Stevenson, An Inland Voyage (1878)This jacketed hardcover edition of An Inland Voyage (1878), by Robert Louis Stevenson, describes a canoe trip through France and Belgium that he took with his friend Sir Walter Grindlay Simpson in 1876. Although he had never been in a canoe before, Stevenson was an excellent traveler and enjoyed every aspect of the adventure. His book describes barges, with "their flower-pots and smoking chimneys," and fishermen, "stupefied with contentment." In addition, the author reflects on the mindlessness of canoeing, with the "ecstatic stupor" it provides, along with wider issues, including the French character and the artist's role in society.

A Trip to the Azores, or, Western Islands
Author Manuel Borges de F. Henriques (c.1833-1873) was a native of Flores island, Azores, who had lived in the Boston area from a young age. His book, "A Trip to the Azores or Western Islands," published in 1867 in Boston, is the only book known to be of his authorship. In his book, he describes returning to his native land after an absence of eighteen years.

In France, Mathilde explains that the true mastery of a fromager isn't making cheese, but aging it. In Spain, Fran proudly eats acorns, but never corn on the cob. While personal, the stories also tap into the universal joy of travel. Cameron's travel motto (inspired by a globetrotting auntie) is "Jams Are Fun"-the fondest memories arrive when your best-laid plans go sideways. And he encourages travelers to stow their phones and guidebooks, slow down, and savor those magic moments that arrive between stops on a busy itinerary. The stories are packed with inspiration and insights for your next trip, including how to find the best gelato in Italy, how to select the best produce at a Proven癟al market, how to navigate Spain's confusing tapas scene, and how to survive the experience of driving in Sicily (hint: just go numb). And you'll get a reality check for every traveler's "dream job" researching and writing guidebooks; guiding busloads of Americans on tours around Europe; scouting and producing a travel TV show; and working with Rick Steves and his merry band of travelers. It's a candid account of how the sausage gets made in the travel business-told with warts-and-all honesty and a sense of humor. For Rick Steves fans, or anyone who loves Europe, The Temporary European is inspiring, insightful, and fun.

Malta & Gozo - Islands of Cats
A diverting read with 232 original colourful photographs for animal lovers and travellers alike. Mention the Maltese Islands and one arouses thoughts of sun, sea and beaches. Whilst enjoying the archipelago's rich offerings in history, culture, and, of course gastronomy, you cannot help but notice the feline members of the local population. You will find strays in most corners of the world, the only difference is in Malta and Gozo the cats are not scraggy and musty, in fact the opposite, they are well fed and in peak condition, with glossy fur and bright eyes. This is thanks to a group of 1,000 and more devoted carers who have taken upon themselves to be the guardians of the thousands of stray cats that inhabit the Islands. "Islands of Cats" is a photographic journey, portraying a representative 22 of these humble and dedicated caregivers. Each chapter is teeming with colourful descriptive photographs, which capture the carers and the cat colonies in genuine, unfeigned situations, and a narrative highlighting each caregiver. The book also includes interesting facts about the localities visited, besides cat related information. "Islands of Cats" is unique, as it is the first book to feature Stray Cat Carers and their work. Treat yourself and open up Chapter One in this entertaining book. Available in German (Malta & Gozo - Inseln der Katzen), English (Malta & Gozo - Islands of Cats) and Maltese (Malta & Gozo - Il-Gżejjer tal-Qtates).

Savoring the Camino de Santiago
Savoring the Camino de Santiago: It's the Pilgrimage, Not the Hike is the first book by author Julie Gianelloni Connor. The book focus on the Camino de Santiago, an ancient pilgrimage trail that began around 820 AD. A resurrection of interest in the Camino since the 1970s 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. The book is also a memoir, with Ms. Connor explaining how and why she decided to make the pilgrimage.Savoring the Camino is also a practical guide to the Camino for those interested in it. 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 route. Taking buses, taxis, or even driving are 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 also includes a useful chapter on resources as well as an index.
Europe, Europe
In this highly acclaimed and entertaining book, already "among the touchstones of the new travel writing" (Newsweek), one of West Germany's leading authors takes us on an insider's tour of Europe in the recent past. Focusing on Italy, Poland, Hungary, Sweden, Spain, and Portugal, he describes how Europe has been moving toward a new identity. Enzensberger makes a witty and knowledgeable traveling companion, delving into surprising corners and byways--from the back alleys of Budapest to the halls of the Italian mint--and striking up conversations with everyone from bankers to revolutionaries, astrologers to apparatchiks. In the process, he suggests that Europe's strength lies increasingly in embracing diversity and improvisation, not bigness and regimentation. He enables us to see with fresh eyes one of the most exciting parts of the world today.
