····· lezzter Preis 1.99€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray To travel with Mr. Howells would indeed be the perfection of journeying, and it is hard to suppress a pang of envy for any friend whom he happens to refer to as his companion. But, fortunately, Mr. Howells has that grace with his pen which includes himself among the realities he presents, and makes the illusion of listening to him, instead of reading, quite easy. In `Seven English Cities` he is as gossipy and entertaining as ever. Liverpool, Manchester, and Sheffield receive his first attention and he insists that in spite of the cavalier treatment these places usually receive from travelers, they are ` worthy to be seen and known.` A doubt with regard to Liverpool may still linger in the mind of the reader, for Mr. Howells scarcely justifies anything in it except St. George`s Hall but that may be only because, as he says, most of his memories of the place have been acquired since his visit. Or it may be because he is too much occupied in holding up the mirror to the ` fond behavior of arriving Americans.` But Manchester, with its parks, old-fashioned mansions, and dignified public buildings, and Sheffield, with its ` dead forest ` of chimneys, its Dukeries, and its Manor pathetic with memories of Mary Queen of Scots, evidently deserve his plea. York, however, holds him longest. Here he is haunted less by the ` clutter of incidents ` of English history than by Roman associations, and ` never can get enough ` of the windows of the Minster. Marston Moor eluded him, but he was compensated by ` the civility from everyone which had so ineffectively abetted his search.` After a glimpse of Dur ham, ` where the medieval atmosphere is in perfect repair,` he reaches Boston, a city in some respects unworthy of its New England descendant, especially in its ignorance of the places hallowed by the Pilgrims. Aberystwyth and Llandudno, Welsh watering-places with beautiful curving beaches complete the sacred number of his visitations. The Welsh he finds, not, according to their reputation, the ` prize liars of the universe,` but truthful although valuable, amiable, and admirably co-educated. The closing chapter on English character will cause some discussion. Are the English, as Mr. Howells thinks, really more courteous than Americans, and also more loyal, more united, and more charitable ····· 1036146652

····· lezzter Preis 4.99€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray That women of fashion should travel further than the magasins of Paris, or the cameo-shops of Rome, is meritorious: that they should keep journals while on their travels is industrious and creditable, but that they should publish the said journals is somewhat supererogatory. Mrs. Dawson Damer, however, pleads charity as her excuse for adding to the stock of pink-parasol literature and really she is so unaffected and good-humoured, so free from affectation and factitious enthusiasm, that one can excuse the flimsiness of the work, for the sake of its artlessness. Having travelled with apparently little more preparation in the way of reading or thought than she would have made for a rummage of Beaudrant`s stores, she describes to us all that she saw at Athens all the wonders of Constantinople baths, mosques, bazaars the Holy City of Jerusalem, a journey across the desert and the gorgeous cherry-coloured umbrella, which shaded Mehemet Ali, the most royal piece of finery she saw at Alexandria. In short, the good-humoured, superficial, positive Londoner is in every page of her journals. ····· 1036145887

····· lezzter Preis 0.99€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This is the extended annotated edition including a detailed biographical primer on the life and works of the author. The productions of Washington Irving are deservedly held in high estimation, not so much, perhaps, for their intrinsic merits as literary compositions, although in this respect they hold no mean position, as for the inimitable tracings of adventurous life which they display through all their gradations and variety, and for the interest they keep alive in the reader, without outraging nature. Several hundred miles beyond the Mississippi extended a vast tract of uninhabited country, where there is neither to be seen the log-house of the white man nor the wigwam of the Indian. It consisted of large grassy plains, interspersed with forests and groves, and watered by the Arkansas, the Grand Canadian, the Red River, and all their tributary streams. Over these fertile and verdant wastes roamed the elk, the buffalo, and the wild horse, in all their native freedom-and these were, in fact, the hunting-grounds of the various inhabitants of the Far West. Thither repaired the Osage, the Creek, the Delaware, and other tribes, that had linked themselves with civilization, and lived within the vicinity of the white settlements and here resorted also the Pawnees, the Comanches, and a variety of fierce and as yet independent rovers, the nomades of the prairies, or the inhabitants of the skirts of the Rocky Mountains. ····· 1036145177
····· lezzter Preis 2.99€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This book contains the record of a journey made by a party of gentlemen from Philadelphia to Kansas and back, during the month of November, 1866. The object of the excursion was to examine the condition of the Union Pacific Railway, Eastern Division, to assemble in council, at Leavenworth, those who were specially interested in it, and to make such scientific and industrial researches along the route as might be of advantage to the enterprise. How this was effected has already been laid before the public in several prominent journals. The writer has taken pains in these letters to depict, as truthfully as possibly his experience and impressions of this very interesting journey. As the condition of that grand national enterprise, the Pacific Railway, was the principal subject of discussion by the tourists, the facts thus evolved form, of course, the subject matter of the series. As for the rest, he has done his utmost to set forth how he and his friends passed their time during their trip of three thousand miles in a railroad car, and what were his real feelings at the time. His chief object in republishing these letters - written originally for Forneys Press, of Philadelphia - has been to express, in a collected and somewhat more durable form, a slight tribute of his gratitude to the gentlemen of the company to whose general kindness and personal courtesy he is indebted for having passed as pleasant a month as it was ever his fortune to enjoy. ····· 1036143607

Ihr mausgraues Ford-Automobil brachte sie 16000km durch mehrere hundert Städte. Sie `erlebten die Indianer, sprachen mit jungen Arbeitslosen, alten Kapitalisten, radikalen Intellektuellen und revolutionären Arbeitern, mit Dichtern, Schriftstellern und Ingenieuren`, sie besuchten kulturelle, soziale, industrielle Institutionen - und fotografierten mit ihrer Leica-Kamera auf der Höhe der Fotokunst ihrer Zeit. Ihr Amerika war ein alltägliches: das eingeschossige Amerika, von Ilf und Petrow präzis beobachtet, beschrieben und im Stil einer klassischen Fotoreportage bebildert - mit Neugier, Scharfsicht und Ironie. Ilja Ilf (1897-1937) und Jewgeni Petrow (1903-1942) arbeiteten in den zwanziger Jahren zusammen mit Michail Bulgakow und Juri Olescha für satirische Zeitungen.
