【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Travels with My Donkey One Man and His Ass on a Pilgrimage to Santiago【電子書籍】[ Tim Moore ]

＜p＞"'A donkey?' blurted my family as one. For a moment it didn't seem they'd ever be able to list all the reasons that made this so entertainingly ludicrous. . . .Yes, I'd never ridden a donkey on a beach or petted one at a city farm, never even pinned a cardboard tail to one's throat after the cake and ice cream....A donkey would be my hairy-coated hair shirt, making my pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela a truer test of the will, a trial."＜br /＞ With these words, having no knowledge of Spanish and even less about the care and feeding of donkeys, Tim Moore, Britain's indefatigable traveling Everyman, sets out on a pilgrimage to the cathedral at Santiago de Compostela with a donkey named Shinto as his companion. Armed only with the Codex Calixtinus, a twelfth-century handbook to the route, and expert advice on donkey management from Robert Louis Stevenson, Moore and his four-legged companion travel the ancient five-hundred-mile route from St. Jean Pied-de-Port, on the French side of the Pyrenees, to the cathedral at Santiago de Compostela, which houses the remains of Spain's patron saint, St. James. Over sun-scorched highways, precipitous bridges, dirt paths shaded by leafy trees, and vineyards occasionally lashed by downpours, Moore and Shinto pass through some of the oldest towns and cities in northern Spain in colorful company, both past and present. Pilgrims real and imagined have traveled this route throughout the ages, a diverse cast of wayfarers spanning Charlemagne, St. Francis of Assisi, Chaucer's Wife of Bath, and New Age diva, Shirley MacLaine. Moore's present-day companions are no less florid or poignant. Clearly more interested in Shinto than in Moore, their fellow walkers are an assortment of devout Christian pilgrims, New Age spirituality seekers, travelers grieving over a lost love affair, Baby Boomers contemplating the advent of middle age, and John Q. Public just out for a cheap, boozy sun-drenched outdoor holiday. As Moore pushes, pulls, wheedles, cajoles, and threatens Shinto across Spain toward the crypt of St. James in a quest to find the spiritual pilgrim within, the duo overnights in the bedrooms, dormitories, and---for Shinto---adjacent grassy fields of northern Spain's hostels, inns, convents, seminaries, and farmhouses. Shinto, a donkey with a finely honed talent for relieving himself at the most inopportune moments, has better luck in the search for his next meal than Moore does in finding his inner St. Francis. Undaunted, however, Man and Beast finally arrive at the cathedral and a successful end to their journey. For readers who delighted in his earlier books, Travels with My Donkey is the next hilarious chapter in the travels of Tim Moore, a book that keeps the bones of St. James rattling till this day.＜/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。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Launceston Tasmania An Overview of The City【電子書籍】[ John Reardon ]

＜p＞＜strong＞Launceston, Tasmania: A Blend of Heritage and Nature＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Launceston, located in northern Tasmania, is one of Australia's oldest cities, rich in colonial heritage and surrounded by striking natural landscapes. Settled by Europeans in 1806, it is Tasmania’s second-largest city after Hobart and serves as a key gateway to the island’s north. 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. This river gorge is a popular recreational area, featuring walking trails, a suspension bridge, gardens, a swimming pool, and the world’s longest single-span chairlift. The gorge offers a rare combination of wilderness and accessibility, making it a defining element of Launceston’s identity.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Culturally, Launceston has grown into a vibrant hub. It is home to institutions such as the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery (QVMAG), one of Australia’s oldest regional museums, which houses exhibitions ranging from colonial art to natural history. The city also hosts several annual events, including the Junction Arts Festival and Festivale, a popular celebration of Tasmanian food, wine, and music held in City Park.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Launceston is at the centre of the Tamar Valley, a renowned wine-producing region. 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。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Travelers' Tales India True Stories【電子書籍】[ James O'Reilly ]

＜p＞India is among the most difficult-and most rewarding-of places to travel. Some have said India stands for "I’ll Never Do It Again." Many more are drawn back time after time because India is the best show on earth, the best bazaar of human experiences that can be visited in a lifetime. India dissolves ideas about what it means to be alive, and its people give new meaning to compassion, perseverance, ingenuity, and friendship. India-monsoon and marigold, dung and dust, colors and corpses, smoke and ash, snow and endless myth-is a cruel, unrelenting place of ineffable sweetness. Much like life itself. Journey to the Kumbh Mela in Allahabad, the world’s biggest party, with David Yeadon and take "A Bath for Fifteen Million People"; greet the monsoon with Alexancer Frater where the Indian and Pacific Oceans meet; track the endangered Indian One-Horned Rhinoceros through the jungles of Assam with Larry Habegger; encounter the anguish of the caste system with Steve Coll; discover the eternal power of the "monument of love," the Taj Mahal, with Jonah Blank; and much more.＜/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。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Around the World on a Bicycle【電子書籍】[ Fred A. Birchmore ]

＜p＞This classic, once hard-to-find travelogue recalls one of the very first around-the-world bicycle treks. Filled with rarely matched feats of endurance and determination, ＜em＞Around the World on a Bicycle＜/em＞ tells of a young cyclist’s ever-changing and maturing worldview as he ventures through forty countries on the eve of World War II. It is an exuberant, youthful account, harking back to a time when the exploits of Richard Byrd, Amelia Earhart, and other adventurers stirred the popular imagination.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In 1935 Fred A. Birchmore left the small American town of Athens, Georgia, to continue his college studies in Europe. In his spare time, Birchmore toured the continent on a one-speed bike he called Bucephalus (after the name of Alexander the Great’s horse). A born wanderer, Birchmore broadened his travels to include the British Isles and even the Mediterranean. After a lengthy, unplanned detour in Egypt, Birchmore put his studies on hold, pointed Bucephalus eastward, and just kept going. From desert valleys to frozen peaks, from palace promenades to muddy jungle trails, Birchmore saw it all on his eighteen-month, twenty-five-thousand-mile odyssey. Some of the people he encountered had never seen a bikeーor, for that matter, an Anglo-European.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As a good travel experience should, Birchmore’s trip changed his outlook on strangers. Always daring, outgoing, and energetic, he now saw an innate goodness in people. In between bone-breaking spills, wild animal attacks, and privation of all kinds, Birchmore learned that he had little to fear from human encounters. That he traveled through a world on the brink of global war makes this lesson even more remarkableーand timeless.＜/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。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】My Sarajevo - Biljana, Trebevi?, Rock【電子書籍】[ S?awomir Kubisa ]

＜p＞The story opens with the narrator's return to Sarajevo after many years. The city, experienced through all senses, unlocks a crack in memory and brings back an image from half a century earlier ー the source of his lasting bond with Sarajevo. He outlines his plan to revisit places once known and discover those never seen before. Each walk blends impressions and reflections with historical narrative.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The first excursions lead to Mount Trebevi?, where the narrator reflects on Bosnia's geography and mineral wealth; and from Ilid?a to the springs of the Bosna River, linking Roman settlements, Austro-Hungarian spas, Slavic migrations, the medieval kingdom of Tvrtko I, and finally the Ottoman conquest. The next chapter explores the Golden Age of Sarajevo, whose traces ー Ottoman mosques, bazaars, narrow streets of Bistrik and Hrid ー still shape the city's landscape.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A walk along the old fortifications of Vratnik and to the fortress guarding Sarajevo for centuries becomes a setting for the turbulent history of Ottoman Bosnia. From the Latin Bridge to Marijin Dvor, the reader follows the path of Austro-Hungarian Sarajevo ー "abducted to Europe" by the Habsburgs. At the Latin Bridge, the scene of Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassination is reconstructed "through the camera's eye," pausing the moment of the second shot to examine the actors, motives, and consequences for Sarajevo, Bosnia, and Europe.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Later, the search for traces of communist Yugoslavia begins at Skenderija Hall, passes the once "largest railway station in the Balkans," climbs Ko?evo Hill to the Olympic stadium, and ends among the housing blocks of Ciglane ー with a personal discovery. The siege of 1992?1995 is viewed from the surrounding hills: ?u?, Grdonj, and Trebevi? ー silent witnesses to the city's ordeal.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The final chapter gathers conversations with Sarajevo's inhabitants about daily life and the country's uncertain future. Polish connections appear throughout ー echoes of shared history, from wars with the Ottoman Empire to Galicia's time in the Habsburg monarchy.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Threaded through the narrative is the memory of Biljana ー an enchanting girl from the author's youth ー and fragments of rock music from the late 1960s and early 1970s, deepening the tone of nostalgia.＜/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。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The A4 Pacifics After Gresley The Late L N E R and British Railways Periods, 1942-1966【電子書籍】[ Ronald Hillier ]

＜p＞In their book 'Gresley's Silver Link' the authors analyzed the evolution of the A4s Gresley's and their service up to Gresley's death in 1941. This book takes this compelling story from the early years of the war up to their demise in the 1960s After four years of service pulling the LNER's most prestigious trains the A4s took on a more utilitarian role and for six years worked hard to support Britain's war effort. From this they emerged bowed, but unbeaten, although in an extremely jaded condition. Once restored they took up where they had left off in 1939 and did exceptional service for the rest of their days. With the help of previously unpublished material the authors analyze the second phase of the A4s careers, first as LNER engines, then, from 1948, under British Railways management. Without a diesel or electric fleet of engines to replace them they entered a second golden age of fast running in the '50s. Then in the 'Swinging Sixties' they faced, as some thought, a premature end as part of a much delayed modernization program. Until withdrawn from service they continued to astound their footplate crew and performed exceptionally well, even when maintenance standards had slipped and their condition had deteriorated. They were thoroughbreds and have become a fitting memorial to the master engineers who produced and sustained them for 30 years or more.＜/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。
