Dellenbaugh's lyrical prose evokes the majestic landscapes and the multifaceted experience of navigating the Colorado River, capturing both its perilous beauty and historical significance. Drawing on his firsthand experiences as a member of John Wesley Powell's 1869 expedition, this work serves not only as a travel narrative but also as a profound meditation on nature and its enduring allure within American culture, resonating with the themes of exploration and environmental consciousness that define the era's literary canon.

Through a unique combination of vivid descriptive prose, meticulous observation, and philosophical musings, Ruskin meticulously captures the essence of the Arno Valley. This work, characterized by its lyrical style and profound appreciation for the beauty of the natural world, reflects Ruskin'??s belief in the interrelatedness of art and nature, situating it within the broader context of 19th-century Romanticism.

 Eothen Traces of Travel Brought Home from the East【電子書籍】[ Alexander William Kinglake ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞"My favorite travel book. Sparkling, ironic, and terrific fun." ー Jan MorrisEothen ("From the East") recaptures a bold young Englishman's exploits in the Middle East during the 1830s. Alexander William Kinglake recounts his rambles through the Balkans, Turkey, Cyprus, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt in a style radically different from other travel books of his era. Rather than dwelling on art or monuments, Kinglake's captivating narrative focuses on the natives and their cities. His adventures ー populated by Bedouins, pashas, slave-traders, monks, pilgrims, and other colorfully drawn personalities ー include crossing the desolate Sinai with a four-camel caravan and a sojourn in plague-ridden Cairo. A contemporary of Gladstone at Eton and of Tennyson and Thackeray at Cambridge, Kinglake offers a frankly imperialistic worldview. "As I felt so have I written," he declares in his preface, and his forthright expressions of his thoughts and impressions range in mood from confessional, to comic, to serious, to romantic. Victorian readers were captivated by Kinglake's chatty tone and his uncompromising honesty, and two centuries later this remarkable travelogue remains funny, fresh, and original.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,589円 |

 19 Year Old World Traveler Real Life Journey of a 19 Year Old Who Traveled the World in 225 Days, Visiting 13 Countries, and Making Lots of New Friends!【電子書籍】[ HowExpert ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞What began as a wild idea turned into the adventure of a lifetime - this is the story of how I traveled around world at age 19, and who I met on the journey. Cult members and college students, chainsmokers and cameramen, this story recounts a slew of traveling adventures and misadventures. It’s about holding your cool while detained in airports, extreme and convoluted economizing, and getting lost at all hours of the night. It includes everything from hitchhiking at 5am to trying on a 1140 dollar dress on a dare. Gratitude and wonder are the hallmarks of my voyage, both for the opportunity to see and experience iconic sites (Louvre, Great Wall of China, Leaning Tower of Pisa) but also for the chance to meet so many wonderful people (and some strange ones, too). It’s being overwhelmed in the Vatican and petting kangaroos on Mount Fuji, but it’s also making friends on airplanes and being so engrossed in conversation that you don’t notice an entire night slip away. This 225-day adventure was the fruit of months of planning, years of working, and a lifetime of dreaming ? and no amount of preparation could have helped me anticipate all the outlandish and lovely experiences that awaited me along the way.＜/p＞ ＜p＞? A trip around the world in 225 days described in about 25,000 words.＜br /＞ ? This story spans three continents, beginning/ending in Philadelphia, PA and going through Hawaii, Japan, China, Vietnam, England, Whales, France, Italy, the Vatican, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Hungary. It includes places that were familiar to me (Hawaii, Japan) and places that were brand new and overwhelming (e.g. the Vatican).＜br /＞ ? Everywhere I went, I managed to be both awed and a little homesick ? not just for my home, but for the places and people I had already left behind.＜br /＞ ? Some places I spent more time in than others, so some places get two chapters (France) while other countries share (e.g. Belgium, the Netherlands, and Hungary).＜br /＞ ? The book is a balance between funny stories/encounters, descriptions of people, and descriptions of the places I visited/sites I saw. It includes stories of both good things that happened as well as some set-backs (including a lot of time spent lost, friction in some relationships, mistakes I made…)＜br /＞ ? The narration is in the first person, in the past tense, and the stories are based on a combination of my travel-journal and my recollections. As such, the perspective is of me, 22 year-old Briana, looking back on the actions of my 19 year-old self. Rather than just being a summary of events, the benefit of 2 years separation allows for quite a bit of reflection about the lessons I learned along the way.＜/p＞ ＜p＞About the Expert＜br /＞ Briana Grenert was born and raised in Kailua, HI, where she currently resides in a house filled with Star Trek paraphernalia. She recently graduated from Bryn Mawr College where she double majored in Classical Studies and Linguistics, and minored in Neuroscience (because it turns out that being silly does not exclude people from being studious). Languages, alive and dead, are her passion and she’s studied everything from Syriac to Klingon. Currently she works as an instructor, teaching Art, French, Ancient Greek, and Christian History. When people are looking for her, they usually check her church, the library, or the beach. If she’s none of those places, she’s probably on a mountain somewhere (lost). She’s not sure what she wants to be when she grows up…maybe a pastor? Or a professor? Or a writer? But she’s not exactly sold on the entire concept of adulthood and might just put it off indefinitely.＜/p＞ ＜p＞HowExpert publishes quick 'how to' guides on all topics from A to Z by everyday experts.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,610円 |

Nestled at the confluence of the North Esk and South Esk riversーwhere they merge to form the Tamar RiverーLaunceston is known for its Georgian and Victorian architecture, vibrant arts scene, and nearby wineries.＜/p＞ ＜p＞One of the city's most distinctive features is its beautifully preserved historical character. Launceston boasts one of the best collections of 19th-century buildings in Australia, including elegant homes, public institutions, and churches. The city was a pioneer in urban infrastructure as wellーLaunceston was the first Australian city to have underground sewers and was among the first to be lit by hydroelectric power. Many of these early advancements reflect the city's long-standing commitment to innovation and planning.＜/p＞ ＜p＞At the heart of Launceston lies the Cataract Gorge, a dramatic natural formation just minutes from the city centre.

The cool climate of the area is ideal for growing high-quality grapes, especially Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. As a result, many tourists use Launceston as a base for exploring the surrounding vineyards, which are dotted throughout the valley and offer cellar door tastings, gourmet food, and scenic views.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Education and research are also significant aspects of Launceston’s profile. The city hosts a campus of the University of Tasmania, particularly known for its maritime and agricultural research. In recent years, Launceston has also embraced a push toward sustainability and design, with various urban renewal projects revitalizing old industrial sites into public spaces and housing.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In sum, Launceston is a city where history, nature, and culture converge. Its stately buildings, lively events, and proximity to Tasmania’s wild beauty make it an appealing destination for visitors and a proud home for locals. Whether strolling through its historic streets, hiking in the Gorge, or enjoying a glass of Tamar Valley wine, Launceston offers a uniquely Tasmanian experience that blends the charm of the past with the promise of the future.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,464円 |
