The acclaimed author of Italian Ways returns with an exploration into Italy’s past and present—following in the footsteps of Garibaldi’s famed 250-mile journey across the Apennines. In the summer of 1849, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Italy’s legendary revolutionary, was finally forced to abandon his defense of Rome. He and his men had held the besieged city for four long months, but now it was clear that only surrender would prevent slaughter and destruction at the hands of a huge French army. Against all odds, Garibaldi was determined to turn defeat into moral victory. On the evening of July 2, riding alongside his pregnant wife, Anita, he led 4,000 hastily assembled men to continue the struggle for national independence elsewhere. Hounded by both French and Austrian armies, the garibaldini marched hundreds of miles across the Appenines, Italy’s mountainous spine, and after two months of skirmishes and adventures arrived in Ravenna with just 250 survivors. Best-selling author Tim Parks, together with his partner Eleonora, set out in the blazing summer of 2019 to follow Garibaldi and Anita’s arduous journey through the heart of Italy. In The Hero’s Way he delivers a superb travelogue that captures Garibaldi’s determination, creativity, reckless courage, and profound belief. And he provides a fascinating portrait of Italy then and now, filled with unforgettable observations of Italian life and landscape, politics, and people.

On May 11, 1857, Hindu and Muslim sepoys massacred British residents and native Christians in Delhi, setting off both the whirlwind of similar violence that engulfed Bengal in the following months and an answering wave of rhetorical violence in Britain, where the uprising against British rule in India was often portrayed as a clash of civilization and barbarity demanding merciless retribution. Although by twentieth-century standards the number of victims was small, the Victorian public saw "the Indian Mutiny" of 1857-59 as an epochal event. In this provocative book, Christopher Herbert seeks to discover why. He offers a view of this episode--and of Victorian imperialist culture more generally--sharply at odds with the standard formulations of postcolonial scholarship. Drawing on a wealth of largely overlooked and often mesmerizing nineteenth-century texts, including memoirs, histories, letters, works of journalism, and novels, War of No Pity shows that the startling ferocity of the conflict in India provoked a crisis of national conscience and a series of searing if often painfully ambivalent condemnations of British actions in India both prior to and during the war. Bringing to light the dissident, disillusioned, antipatriotic strain of Victorian "mutiny writing," Herbert locates in it key forerunners of modern-day antiwar literature and the modern critique of racism.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1872 edition. Excerpt: ..."You see, my people here are all so good that when my finger aches in a new way they make themselves unhappy about it, and so I can't bear to tell them when I am worse than usual. I thought this would go away--as other things have gone; I did not suppose it would get bad like this." She was suffering acute pain when she spoke so, --pain so sharp that she could scarcely speak at all. For a week past, they found out now, there had been inflammation at the hip-joint, which had at last suddenly and violently increased. "We shall be able to subdue it, I trust," Dr. Holland said; "but if there is no visible improvement in the course of four-and-twenty hours, I think we had better try if we can get'Dr.----to come down." So Mr. Lincoln had written to Dr.----, to prepare him for the telegram that might follow, and through the day and night they watched by Hero's side, anxiously looking for some change in her; but no change for the better came. She was so ill all day that she could not hide her suffering, nor, brave though she was, could she do more than speak some few words now and then to comfort them. "It is so hard to have no more power than this over one's self," she said once, --"to be such a slave as this to a little pain." "Ah, my darlings, what a burden I am to you!" she cried to them again at another time. "Look how I wear you out! If I were only once well again--only once 'well--how I would try to make it up to you." And then she took Mrs. Trevelyan's hand that she was holding in hers, and kissed it, and laid her cheek upon it. It was always thus--that when Hero was most ill then all her better nature came most into prominence, ...
