Georgia
Some people sometimes say that they are lucky to be born in such a country, in such a city, on such a continent. The same can be said about Georgia. Its very small territory is comfortably situated in the shadow of the high Caucasus Mountains, on the shore of the warm Black Sea, in the green valleys where fruit trees and vineyards grow, close to the sources of healing drinking water. This is a magical land, where every hour of the way gives diversity and variety of life and nature.We explore the country and visit the most important part of the country such as Tbilisi, Mestia, Batumi, Kutaisi and many other.And later, glancing at everything seen, do you think, what is the main charm of Georgia after all? Indeed, there are so many southern countries in the world, where there is a warm sea, wine, interesting cuisine, green hills and high mountains, ancient cities and a long history. In addition, you understand that the most important thing is not mountains, not cities, not wonderful food and aromatic wine, not medieval churches and drinking songs. The main thing is people. Noisy, sincere, open, imperfect, a little boastful, generous to the depths of the soul, and such real people. Moreover, when you go home, wherever you live, you take a piece of this hospitable soul with you in your heart, promising yourself to come here again. You know for sure that you will fulfill your promise.This book is easy to use no matter what language you speak. The locations are marked by images in an easy to follow key that allows you to find recognizable locations and discover the local secrets.
Coffee, Chianti and Caravaggio
`A masterwork of Italian rambling. ` Those who have rambled with Robert through Cuba and Spain already know what to expect, but Italy is more so. Robert rambles through great sites of Rome and Venice of course, but finding a special meal on the exclusive beach of Portofino or listening to woodworm digest a bed in the Chianti hills take a special mastery. Whilst getting lost on the tourist road from Bologna or crossing to Capri with a Mafia Don Robert rambles through history, language and gastronomy as readily as the back streets of Naples for delight, colour and discovery. Who did Caravaggio kill and who killed him? What did Tiberius get up to in Villa Jovis? Why are car crashes in Naples more democratic than anywhere else? How can one man who so easily loses himself when travelling be so good at finding unique, memorable companions? Sometimes alone, sometimes in company, Robert's tales give you more colour, romance and knowledge of Italy than many an expensive visit will provide. Whether you wish to laugh, marvel or learn this book will meet the need.
A Journey in Russia in 1858 (Esprios Classics)AJourney in Russia in 1858 (Esprios Classics

Living the PalioA Story of Community and Public Life in Siena, Italy
A maddening, twice-annual horse race held in Siena's public square, the Palio is less a sport than it is a game--one that involves a combination of bare-back riding skills, human deal-making, and a large dose of fate. The 90-second race and the rituals that surround it have continued largely uninterrupted since the 1500s, serving as the primary source of identity for the city's 17 neighborhoods, or contrade. The Palio can therefore confuse short-term visitors who see little more than an afternoon of pageantry followed by three laps of ferocious racing. Living the Palio thus provides a freshly upbeat and accessible introduction to Siena's centuries-old festival, along with the intriguing cultural traditions that underlie it.Join Thomas Paradis on an amusing, instructional romp as he weaves witty stories of personal discovery with a peak into Siena's little-known customs.

Great Escapes Italy. the Hotel Book. 2019 Edition
To travel through Italy is as close as one gets to being in paradise. For centuries, writers, artists, architects, and merchants have been drawn here, inspired by the beauty of Venice, Florence, Naples, and Rome. Countless books, paintings, poems, and sculptures are evidence of its undying appeal, and over the past 60 years, the country has become one of the world's top travel and holiday destinations. The loveliness of Italy is, if not eternal, certainly enduring, and the easygoing and relaxed Italian lifestyle is still unrivaled. Here, some of Italy's most amazing landscapes and diverse regions are honored, like Tuscany, Umbria, the Amalfi Coast, and, no less magical, the Aeolian Islands off the coast of Sicily. In these mythical surroundings are legendary hotels full of atmosphere, where novels are set, movies are made, weddings are celebrated, and famous love stories consummated: Villa d'Este on Lake Como, the Pellicano Hotel in Porto Ercole, the Il San Pietro on the Amalfi Coast, and the Palazzo Margherita in Basilicata--to name just a few. Angelika Taschen also reveals where to find more secret and hidden jewels--from the Locanda Cipriani, a destination for food lovers on the island of Torcello, to the romantic Castello di Vicarello in Tuscany and the atmospheric Masseria Moroseta in Puglia.

Great Escapes Europe. the Hotel Book, 2019 Edition

Mother Tongue
A probing and poetic examination of language, food, faith, and family attachment in Italian life through the eyes of an American who moved to Parma with her husband and family. In the 1980s, the American writer Wallis Wilde-Menozzi moved permanently with her Italian husband and her daughter to Parma, a sophisticated city in northern Italy, where he became a professor of biology. Her search for rootedness in the city that was to be her home introduced her to complexities in her identity as she migrated into another language and looked for links beyond the joys of Verdi, Correggio, and Parmesan cheese, which visitors have rightly extolled for centuries. The local resistance to change perceived as individualistic led Wilde-Menozzi to explore the pull and challenge of difference and discover the backbone she needed for artistic freedom. In Mother Tongue, Wilde-Menozzi offers stories of far-sighted lives, remarkable Parma men and remarkable women, including the Renaissance abbess Giovanna Piacenza, the fighting Donella Rossi Sanvitale, and her own indefatigable mother-in-law. Framed with a new introduction by the author, and a new foreword by Patricia Hampl, this classic on diversity and tolerance, family, faith, and food in Italy and the United States is at once timeless and timely, a "large, beautiful window into the intelligent, literate, reflective life of Italy" (Shirley Hazzard).
Pagan Light
A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice"Pagan Light is mesmerizing. Every detail is compelling. I felt I was reading a family history of a family far more interesting than mine." --Edmund White, author of Our Young ManA rich, intimate embrace of Capri, which was a magnet for artistic renegades and a place of erotic refuge Isolated and arrestingly beautiful, the island of Capri has been a refuge for renegade artists and writers fleeing the strictures of conventional society from the time of Augustus, who bought the island in 29 BC after defeating Antony and Cleopatra, to the early twentieth century, when the poet and novelist Jacques d'Adelsw瓣rd-Fersen was in exile there after being charged with corrupting minors, to the 1960s, when Truman Capote spent time on the island. We also meet the Marquis de Sade, Goethe, Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, Compton Mackenzie, Rilke, Lenin, and Gorky, among other astonishingly vivid characters. Grounded in a deep intimacy with Capri and full of captivating anecdotes, Jamie James's Pagan Light tells how a tiny island served as a wildly permissive haven for people--queer, criminal, sick, marginalized, and simply crazy--who had nowhere else to go.
