The Book of Gallant Vagabonds by Henry Beston Pdf

The Book of Gallant Vagabonds presents a captivating account of the bizarre but idealistic lives of true wanderers who left everything behind to go and explore the world. Here you will see stories of the adventures of: John Ledyard, the American explorer, and adventurer who considered walking around the globe; Belzoni, the Italian explorer and a prominent archaeologist of Egyptian antiquities; Edward John Trelawny, the British biographer, novelist, and explorer; Thomas Morton, the friendly Elizabethan who founded the colony of Merrymount; Arthur Rimbaud the poet the French poet who became a tradesman, and James Bruce the well-built Scot who grew to be a great lord in Abyssinia. The narratives presented are real and precise but are so unusual that they might sometimes sound like fiction. The American writer Henry Beston writes with a lucid narrative and a cheerful, vivid style. It is a light-hearted volume, written to delight the passive readers and fill them with excitement. This work is a must-read for all traveling and adventure enthusiasts.

Vodka, Vagabonds, and Victory by Robert Michael Gallant Pdf

This tale is not for the faint of heart. Within these pages you will find a journey from the depths of despair, through a tortured hell, and into the mind of a beast. But at the heart of this story you will also find a tale of redemption that will lead you upon a lighted path to the heights of victory. There's a little humor thrown into the mix too. A strange little Italian man once said the following, "I've got the biggest house in the world, I just don't have a roof." This is his story. It is my utmost desire that you enjoy it.

1,000 Books to Read Before You Die by James Mustich Pdf

“The ultimate literary bucket list.” —The Washington Post “If there’s a heaven just for readers, this is it.” —O, The Oprah Magazine Celebrate the pleasure of reading and the thrill of discovering new titles in an extraordinary book that’s as compulsively readable, entertaining, surprising, and enlightening as the 1,000-plus titles it recommends. Covering fiction, poetry, science and science fiction, memoir, travel writing, biography, children’s books, history, and more, 1,000 Books to Read Before You Die ranges across cultures and through time to offer an eclectic collection of works that each deserve to come with the recommendation, You have to read this. But it’s not a proscriptive list of the “great works”—rather, it’s a celebration of the glorious mosaic that is our literary heritage. Flip it open to any page and be transfixed by a fresh take on a very favorite book. Or come across a title you always meant to read and never got around to. Or, like browsing in the best kind of bookshop, stumble on a completely unknown author and work, and feel that tingle of discovery. There are classics, of course, and unexpected treasures, too. Lists to help pick and choose, like Offbeat Escapes, or A Long Climb, but What a View. And its alphabetical arrangement by author assures that surprises await on almost every turn of the page, with Cormac McCarthy and The Road next to Robert McCloskey and Make Way for Ducklings, Alice Walker next to Izaac Walton. There are nuts and bolts, too—best editions to read, other books by the author, “if you like this, you’ll like that” recommendations , and an interesting endnote of adaptations where appropriate. Add it all up, and in fact there are more than six thousand titles by nearly four thousand authors mentioned—a life-changing list for a lifetime of reading. “948 pages later, you still want more!” —THE WASHINGTON POST
