<p>In "Eothen; Or, Traces of Travel Brought Home from the East," Alexander William Kinglake invites readers into an evocative journey through the landscapes and cultures of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Near East. Written in a narrative style that blends personal reflection with keen observation, the book reflects the Romantic era's fascination with the exotic and the sublime. Kinglake's prose is rich with vivid imagery and sharp wit, offering not just a travelogue but a philosophical inquiry into the nature of travel and its impact on the soul. Notably, it showcases the author's deep appreciation for the region's history, architecture, and diverse peoples, positioning it within the broader context of 19th-century explorations and scientific discovery. Alexander William Kinglake was not only a travel writer but also a barrister and historian, which contributed to his analytical view of the East. His own travels, influenced by the era's imperial ambitions and cultural curiosities, are reflected in his detailed accounts of the landscapes and societies he encountered. Kinglake's background infuses his work with a unique critical perspective on British colonial attitudes of his time, making it both a personal memoir and a reflective commentary. "Eothen" is highly recommended for readers who crave an authentic glimpse into the East, layered with profound insights into the human experience. Whether you are a lover of travel literature, a student of history, or simply an explorer at heart, Kinglake's masterpiece offers a compelling narrative that transcends time and continues to resonate.</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。

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 Morris<br /> Eothen ("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.<br /> 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。

Letters from the Holy Land Reflections on the Spiritual Journey Through the Holy Land【電子書籍】[ Elizabeth Butler ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "Letters from the Holy Land," Elizabeth Butler intricately weaves together personal reflections and vivid descriptions of her experiences in the Middle East during a time of profound historical change. Written in the late 19th century, Butler'??s epistolary narrative employs a lyrical style that captures both the beauty of the landscapes and the complexities of cultural encounters. Her letters provide an intimate chronicle of her travels, rich with observations on local customs, religious practices, and the socio-political climate of the region, thus offering readers valuable insight into the era's Orientalist perspectives. Elizabeth Butler, an accomplished painter and a prominent figure in the Victorian artistic community, was motivated by her experiences as a female traveler in a predominantly male-dominated field. Born into a family of artists, her background in visual art deeply informs her descriptive prowess, allowing her to employ painterly techniques in her writing. This confluence of art, travel, and gender reflects her quest for understanding and connection in a world where such pursuits were often fraught with difficulty for women. I highly recommend "Letters from the Holy Land" for those interested in travel literature, women's narratives, and the historical interplay of culture and personal perspective. Butler'??s eloquent prose not only serves as a captivating travelogue but also invites readers to explore the rich tapestry of human experience in a time of great change.</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。

<p>In "Letters from Switzerland and Travels in Italy," Johann Wolfgang von Goethe presents a brilliant amalgamation of personal reflection and travel narrative, revealing the profound influence of nature and culture on his artistic sensibilities. Written during his pivotal journeys in 1779 and 1786, these letters intertwine lyrical prose with vivid descriptions, showcasing Goethe's Romantic ideals and his quest for aesthetic experience. This work not only captures the idyllic landscapes of Switzerland and Italy but also serves as a vehicle for Goethe'??s evolving philosophical and artistic identity within the context of the Enlightenment and burgeoning Romanticism. Goethe, a polymath of the German Enlightenment, was profoundly influenced by his exposure to various cultures and natural environments during his travels.

These travels offered him a deeper understanding of the interplay between the self and the external world, informing his subsequent contributions to literature and philosophy. This volume is highly recommended for readers seeking an immersive exploration of 18th-century Europe through Goethe's discerning eye. Its rich narrative and insightful reflections not only enhance our understanding of Goethe's oeuvre but also invite contemporary readers to consider the lasting relationship between travel, culture, and the human experience.</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。

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "A Woman's Journey Round the World," Ida Pfeiffer chronicles her groundbreaking travels that defy the expectations of 19th-century women. This travelogue combines vivid descriptions, keen observations, and an adventurous spirit as Pfeiffer traverses continents, from the crowded streets of Europe to the exotic landscapes of South America and Asia. Her prose is both engaging and instructional, offering insight into cultures often misunderstood in her time. The literary context of this work highlights a burgeoning era of exploration, reflecting both romanticized views of travel and the burgeoning rights of women to engage in such pursuits at a time when their roles were largely confined to the domestic sphere. Ida Pfeiffer (1797-1858) emerged as a pioneering figure in travel literature, demonstrating undaunted courage and independence in a male-dominated world. Utilizing her own experiences as a widow and a mother, Pfeiffer sought to explore the world not merely as a tourist, but as an intrepid researcher and observer. Her narratives are enriched by the cultural and sociopolitical factors of her time, revealing her deep fascination with diverse peoples and places. This captivating account invites readers to immerse themselves in the spirit of adventure and to ponder the themes of gender, society, and exploration. "A Woman's Journey Round the World" not only serves as a testament to one woman's resilience but also as an essential piece of literature that appeals to historians, feminists, and travelers alike.</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。

<p>In "Voyage of the Paper Canoe," Nathaniel H. Bishop chronicles his remarkable journey along the waterways of North America in a fragile paper canoe. With meticulous attention to detail, Bishop combines elements of travelogue, natural history, and personal reflection, creating a rich tapestry that immerses readers in the landscapes he traverses. His prose captures the serene beauty and unpredictable nature of the rivers, as well as the challenges faced by a solitary voyager. Through lyrical descriptions and vivid imagery, the narrative also reflects the burgeoning spirit of exploration in the late 19th century, inviting readers to appreciate both the adventure and the introspective moments that define human resilience in the face of nature's grandeur. Nathaniel H. Bishop, an accomplished adventurer and naturalist, was fueled by his passion for exploration and the great outdoors, which led him to embark on this extraordinary expedition. His background in writing and his deep appreciation for the American landscape profoundly influenced his narrative style. Born into a time of burgeoning exploration, Bishop's works express a deep yearning for adventure and an appreciation for the beauty of nature. I enthusiastically recommend "Voyage of the Paper Canoe" to readers who cherish adventure literature and historical explorations. This masterfully written account not only provides insight into the 19th-century ecological landscape but also invites contemporary readers to reconnect with nature through the eyes of a pioneering explorer.</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。

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>A soul-searching personal account of a young man’s 1,700-kilometre kayak journey from Victoria, BC, to Gustavas, Alaska, illustrated with whimsical watercolour maps and illustrations of local flora, fauna, and landscapes.</strong></p> <p>In 2014, twenty-four-year-old geography student David Norwell set off on a daunting kayak journey in search of purpose in his life. A jigsaw puzzle of jagged mainland and over 50,000 islandsーstretching from southern Vancouver Island to Alaskaーlay in front of him. A self-described ordinary kid from small-to-medium-town, British Columbia, David had paddled through the Gulf Islands and guided youth groups on a nine-day journey from Nanaimo to Victoria. But nothing could prepare him for this.</p> <p>For the next several months, David navigated the waters off the coastal British Columbia, recording his observations, musings, and daily activities in a notebook. The result is this one-of-a-kind travelogue, filled with more than 700 whimsical watercolour illustrations of coastlines, local plant and animal species, camping supplies, and portraits of people he met along the way. He wrote about the nature of solitude, the search for meaning and adventure, the wildlife he encountered, the survival skills he acquired, and the existence of his own privilege. <em>A Complex Coast</em> is an unforgettable coming-of-age story that will appeal to kayakers, naturalists, and anyone looking for adventure.</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。
